Pour l'Amour Des Chiens (French meaning For the Love of Dogs) is the first all new studio album by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band in 35 years. It was released on 12 December 2007, produced by Mickey Simmonds and Neil Innes.
The album was performed by original group members Neil Innes, Roger Ruskin Spear, Rodney Slater, 'Legs' Larry Smith, Vernon Dudley Bohay-Nowell, Martin 'Sam Spoons' Ash, and Bob Kerr, with New Millennium Bonzos Adrian Edmondson, Stephen Fry, and Phill Jupitus. Also credited are Mickey Simmonds (musical director), David Catlin-Birch (guitar and vocals), Johnny Marter (drums and percussion) and Steve Barnacle (bass and jazz guitar).
The Times awarded the album four stars and described it as "rarely less than charming", while The Observer gave it three, calling it "predictable" and "only half amusing".
Describing the album in his 2009 book The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band - Jollity Farm, Bob Carruthers says of "I Predict a Riot":
Hard to predict the plot of this one, as Mr Spear and Mr Edmonson are let loose on this Kaiser Chiefs classic. Planned and unplanned studio incursions by Mexicans, Wurzels, that bloody chicken clarinet and HM constabulary.
