Day 16
Songbird - Eva Cassidy
+1 (=25)

I've already shared some Fleetwood Mac this month and I'm trying to find as many different female artists as I can. I love Eva's cover of this almost as much as the original

We are having a good spring here in the upper Midwest so this song is timely as well, and I’ll use my dedication to @morelikeasong to see if she’d join me in the park

I love his songs!

This requires no introduction, but may require therapy afterward. No ducks were harmed in the making of this video.

Day 15: A song that mentions a specific type of flower (rose, daisy, tulip, etc)
Poison: Every Rose Has It's Thorn

"I hear you found somebody new/and that I never meant that much to you" is one of the most heartbreaking lines ever written.

I was not expecting this from Nelly Furtado but I love it.

I'll eat your man, devour him whole
Lickin' my fingers, I'm in control
Fly like a bird, I'm takin' it home

Day 16: A song that mentions one or more birds

1971. Ronnie Spector is looking for a comeback single. She choose "Try Some, Buy Some," a George Harrison song he wrote but didn't use. A Beatle! How could it fail? (Spoiler: it failed). A song about an epiphany about the nature of God amidst commercial culture, it was both thematically and musically so absolutely wrong for her as a single. Ronnie admitted she was confused by the song, which would have been perfectly adequate for Harrison to sing in early 1970s.

Ah, but the B- side ...

"Tandoori Chicken," also penned by Harrison, is a rockabilly song about ... tandoori chicken. And wine.

Makes me want to cook dinner for someone...

"Tandoori Chicken," Ronnie Spector (+1)

(26+1=27)

 

[UnquietDreams]

I will NOT post this
I never want to hear it again
“Disco Duck”

Oh bless you. I may never kill you in FMK again...

You can cook dinner for me. I'll PM you my address.

Excellent! Though I am doing Za'atar Chicken Thighs with Broccoli and Carrots tonight. But wine!

I was soooo close to going with that one. Pigeons are horrid rats with wings.

I'll choose the wine then.

Dedicated to @morelikeasong. Wild Roses from Rosie
Just don't listen too closely to the lyrics...

If I go missing… make sure someone asks Rosie where she was at the time

Thank you for the dedication babe and your great contributions to the thread

Did anyone else get to mention blue birds

Day 16: A song that mentions one or more birds

Okay, this one has a story.

Years ago, my daughter worked at the campus radio station. She even did a show. I would call in and request this song every time as a joke.
She never played it until her final show before she graduated when I was her special guest.
I will gladly forfeit the bonus point today because this memory is one of my highlights.

I can't stand Lynyrd Skynyrd. But I do like this story. Well done.

 

[Deleted member 6666935]

Well I figured by this point And Your Bird Can Sing as well as Blackbird would already be selected, but does that mean there’s no other Beatles song (group or solo) I can use? Of course not! I could have used Bluebird from McCartney’s Band on the Run as just one example, but instead I will go with…
