Thin Lizzy kinda made a thing out of that for a while if you missed it.

Reply to comment by StuartGotz in Forest lizards have evolved genetically to live in cities — traits include longer limbs for sprinting across open areas, and larger toe pads with specialized scales for clinging to smooth surfaces like walls or glass by marketrent

I've always wondered about this, too.

In NYC there's a huge park called Forest Park that is actually comparable to Central Park in size, but is usually not known about or used outside of people in Queens generally.

Anyways, there's a huge chipmunk population there. Going to Central Park you would expect to see those famous chubby greedy city squirrels. But for some reason it's chipmunks in Forest Park.

Not sure what my point was specifically, now that I think about it, but I've always been curious why, because they really aren't far away from each other geographically.

Reply to One song that gives you an indescribable feeling by Thecalmdrinker

Sleepwalker by Julie Byrne always kind of gets me. But also I might have to add A Letter From Home by "Blue" Gene Tyranny as the #1 (and it's only 25 minutes long!).

Reply to I Put A Spell On You (1958) by Screamin' Jay Hawkins is one of the most ahead-of-it's-time recordings ever. by Okaybrothatsdope

Not related to the song exactly but, check out his role in "Mystery Train" from 1989. One of my favorite films.

Kanopy link, otherwise on Prime seems to be the only option if you don't feel like sailing the high seas.

Edit: If you want some incentive to check it out, I'll give a brief synopsis. A Japanese couple who is obsessed with Elvis and Carl Perkins travels to Memphis, Tennessee. Screamin' Jay Hawkins plays the role of the hotel clerk alongside Cinqué Lee. It's a bit of a "multiple stories coming together at the end" type of story. And SJH and the hotel is, uh, the axis of the stories come together. Tried my best to describe it.

Absolutely worth a watch. He only appeared in anything resembling film roles a few times.
