Great song

[smallonion]

I heard this song on a tv program, immediately searched the internet to see what it was and it's called "I like Birds" by a band called the Eels. It is so quirky and funny, and the lyrics are posted below (but it doesn't do it justice until you hear it). If you have music download capabilities, I beg you to download it - it could be our Birdboard theme song!

"I Like Birds"

I can't look at the rocket launch
The trophy wives of the astronauts
And i won't listen to their words
'cause i like
Birds

I don't care for walking downtown
Crazy auto-car gonna mow me down
Look at all the people like cows in a herd
Well, i like
Birds

If you're small and on a search
I've got a feeder for you to perch on

I can't stand in line at the store
The mean little people are such a bore
But it's alright if you act like a turd
'cause i like
Birds

If you're small and on a search
I've got a feeder for you to perch on

Michele, I like that. I'd be interested in hearing it, coz.........I like birds!

I'm somewhat of a Beatles fan and absolutely love the song "Blackbird". My best friend (which is now my brother-in-law) used to play the guitar (acoustic) and I always begged him to play that song and sing it to me. I made a documentary in college for the Ohio EPA and that song is the theme song. I listen to it now and it ALWAYS brings a tear to my eye (even though I have a white bird )

Lara, you'll love this song. If you can't find it, I'll make a cd for you and send it. Send me your address again.
I might as well put other stuff on that I like if I'm making you a cd!

I love the Beatles "Blackbird" - I totally understand "blackbird singing in the dead of night.." because here in London, the blackbirds wake up and start singing at 4AM!! The bird noise in the song IS a blackbird call. I can't play that song without Humphrey freaking out, because she freaks out any time she heard bird noise on the tv or stereo.

Oh yea! That would be great for you to make a CD for me. Cool! Thanks. I'm pm'ing you my address.

Michelle,

That song seems so cute! I know I would love it.

[mamalovesrico]

Why thank you Monica! Is a catchy little tune. Maybe I'll teach Rico to dance to it. Wouldn't that be cute? I think I might just do that!
