Dog Eat Dog is the 12th studio album by the Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell, released in 1985. It was her second album for Geffen Records . As with its predecessor Wild Things Run Fast , Dog Eat Dog moves away from Mitchell's previous folk and jazz influences in favour of 1980s studio pop.
In "The Three Great Stimulants," "Tax-Free," "Dog Eat Dog," and "Shiny Toys," Mitchell declares herself for drag queens, punks and "simple joys" ("Watching the glorious sun setting on the bay") and against big business, mercenary lawyers, Eighties hedonism and Reaganoid preachers.
“Good Friends,” the Michael McDonald duet that opens the album, features a big, swiveling beat from bassist and coproducer (and husband) Larry Klein that Joni subverts with a clipped melody.
The song that eventually provided the title for Mitchell's 12th album, "Dog Eat Dog" laid it all out in apocalyptic terms: "In every culture in decline/The watchful ones among the slaves/ Know all that is genuine will be/Scorned and conned and cast away".

Oct 15, 2020 · Interestingly enough, Dog Eat Dog is Mitchell's most optimistic album since the release of her exuberant Blue. The bulk of this, her thirteenth album, is a solemn testimony to such issues as the ludicrous yet all too dangerous evil of "snakebite evangelists and racketeers."
