Jonathan Mann is known for writing a different song each day, making anywhere from $100-$500 for the projects he does for other people, including one for Steve Jobs to explain what to do if you don’t like your iphone dropping calls.

Mann, a vegan, has penned song #810 titled, “Vegan Myths Debunked,” where he sings a duet with Ivory King discussing where to get protein, calcium and answers all the questions omnivores asks like, “Then, why I do I have these teeth,” referring to the assumption human mouths are best designed to tear meat apart.

Funny, folky and very catchy.

“I wish we lived in a world where caring for animals wasn’t so rare that it deserved an award. All I do is treat animals with the respect and dignity they deserve. I hope someday soon, everyone does the same. PETCO and the PETCO Foundation have made great efforts to protect animals and I commend them for going above and beyond the call of duty.”

—Ellen DeGeneres, on accepting the PETCO Foundation’s HOPE Award given to public figures that promote the bond between humans and animals. The awards ceremony will be held in San Diego, California on April 30, 2011. DeGeneres is the co-owner of Halo Pet Food, a natural line of food for animals containing only human-grade ingredients. Last year, Halo partnered with several non-profit organizations like Freekibble, The Humane Society of the US, ASPCA, Pets for Patriots, and The National Canine Cancer Foundation to donate 1 million pet meals to over 100 shelters across the United States.
