Corinne Savage a/k/a Corook opens for Maddie Zahm and plays the song "The Dog" live in concert before a sold-out crowd at The Chapel in San Francisco, California on February 28, 2023. The Dog was released as a single in January 2023 and this was the first time Corook played the song live.
Corook is a 28-year-old singer-songwriter from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and based in Nashville, Tennessee. Last year, The Advocate named them one of the “7 Queer Artists For Your Fall Playlist." Corook opened for Maddie Zahm on all dates of her You Might Not Like Her Tour, and before that toured in support of K.Flay and piano pop/rock trio Jukebox The Ghost. Joining Corook onstage were Yusuke Sato (bass / guitar) and Austin Hans Seegers (drums).
Corook explained the backstory for the song: "Two years ago on my girlfriend’s birthday I offered to buy her a cat. She immediately asked ‘Why not a dog?’ I explained that we had spoken about how our house didn’t have enough space and we both were iffy on whether that was a commitment we wanted to make. We decided to go to the shelter and play with some animals for her birthday but instead we left with our dog, Cubby. This song is an exaggeration of the ‘What if we break up question?’ through the lens of who would take the dog."

The Dog lyrics:
I don’t wanna manifest bad energy
I know I sound like a hippie when I say that
Hate to think we’d ever end up enemies
Just bare with me what if shit hits the fan
We fall out of love
Admit it’s the end
We’ll pleasure ourselves
In separate beds
I’ll get a new car
You’ll get a new job
But who gets to keep the dog?
You can take the floral printed bed sheets
I never really liked them
You can even have my mother’s recipe
The one you’re always asking about
But I’ll take the knives
And all of the plates
Except for the one
You happened to break
I’ll take all the blame
For what I did wrong
But who gets to keep the dog?
I love you more than I’ve ever loved anyone
I know things are great right now but we’re still young
And if I happen to win custody after much deliberation
I know that she’d have a lot of fun with me
Prolonging the inevitable
Cause when I’d see her face
I’d just think of you
It’d be way too hard for me to get through
We both know that you’re
A way better mom
So I’ll let you keep the dog

Corook official bio:
Corook, aka Corinne Savage (yes, that’s her real last name), is a singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. She can solve a Rubik’s cube in under a minute (depending on how she’s feeling that day.) This freckled, chubby babe was born and raised just outside of downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where she grew up listening to Drake, Gwen Stefani, and Mac Miller.
Savage went to a performing arts high school (yes, just like Victorious) where she came out as QUEERAF her senior year. She then attended Berklee (“wow”—Owen Wilson voice) and graduated with two degrees (barely). Savage currently resides in Nashville, Tennessee (howdy). She spends most of her time writing and producing music for her artist project Corook (boop!), locked away in her room, alone. (She blames it on coronavirus, but she’s actually just anti-social.) She has co-written hit songs like “This Whole Bio Is a Joke” and is an award-winning Person of Doing Things. She turned 26 in January and she is VERY cute.
