Yesterday’s bird-themed list was remarkably lacking in musical references. Which is a shame, because many birds sing so very musically. And apparently inspire so much singing. So, I offer up a supplemental bird song list.
Bird Songs
Three Little Birds, Bob Marley
The Littlest Birds, The Be Good Tanyas
Wonder of Birds, Innocence Mission
King of Birds, REM
Bird on the Wire, Leonard Cohen
Blackbird on the Wire, The Beautiful South
Blackbird the Beatles
Blue Jay Way, the Beatles
Cuckoo, Kristin Hersh
Kookaburra, Marion Sinclair
Rockin’ Robin, Bobby Day
Mockingbird, by Eminem
Parrot Polynesia, Shonen Knife
The Peacock Song, Bif Naked
Fly Like an Eagle, the Steve Miller Band
Free Bird, Lynard Skynard
And Your Bird Can Sing, the Beatles
Canary in a Coalmine, The Police
Poisoning Pigeons in the Park, Tom Lehrer
And in case you were expecting some more creative song titles, I refer you to this list someone put together a couple of years back, which offers up A whiter shade of quail and Wren drops keep falling on my hen.
Decemberists, The Crane Wife parts I, II, and III
Erich-
Ah, good call. And I was just listening to that album a couple of days ago.
