Dragons in songs
  • Albi, from the Flight of the Conchords song "Albi the Racist Dragon"
  • "Puff, the Magic Dragon" is best known from the hit single by Peter, Paul and Mary, but has been performed by countless other artists. "Puff the Magic Dragon" was first a poem by Leonard Lipton and adapted by Peter Yarrow. The poem tells of an ageless dragon who befriends a young boy, only to be abandoned as the boy ages and forgets him. This is sometimes suspected of being riddled with references to marijuana, though the authors have publicly ridiculed this notion. The dragon in the song is most likely a reference to children's imagination and innocence.
  • Tharos, from the Emerald Sword Saga, a collection of five albums by the symphonic metal band Rhapsody
