Friday Five: Beatle Birds
2009 November 6
The Fabs
My brother posted a Friday Five of bird songs, and I love them all. Let’s scour the catalog of history’s greatest band to see if we can find five songs about birds.
- And Your Bird Can Sing (from my favorite Fabs album, Revolver)
- Blackbird (how about some rehearsal footage of Paul!)
- Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)
- Blue Jay Way
- Free As A Bird
There, that wasn’t too hard!
And a handful of solo bonuses:
- Bluebird (Macca)
- Jenny Wren (Macca)
- Cold Turkey (Johnny)
- Surprise, Surprise (Sweet Bird of Paradox) (Johnny)
Good list! And a very cool picture to accompany it!
I love that picture. Captain Lovehandles, the artist, is a guy I know from the Ukulele Underground. He calls it “A Generic Rock Band in the style of A Generic Children’s Book” (e.g. Beatles, Seuss)
Prints are for sale at his website (and Christmas is coming – - hint, hint.)
