Day 16: A song that mentions one or more birds

I had to search for this song. It wasn't really my thing, but one of my middle school friends who fancied herself quite the little gangster, played it on repeat.

Blue Bird-RBL Posse

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

+5=20

This would have been mine if you didn't nab it

Day 16: A song that mentions one or more birds

This song has been a great comfort to me at various times in my life... when I was lost and directionless, and circling the drain, going down... especially that first and last verse... "Danger bird, he flies alone/ And he rides the wind back to his home/ And though these wings have turned to stone/ I can fly, fly, fly away..." Thank you, Neil. Luv the inimitable guitar sound, as well. Fantastic!

Neil Young and Crazy Horse - Danger Bird

This song speaks to me. Calls me out on my shit. I'm calling a Phoenix a bird of the most mythical kind

Day 16: A song that mentions one or more birds

It's late in the day and I ran through the posts to make sure no one had posted this...

Three Little Birds - Bob Marley and the Wailers

More casual fans of Bob assume this song's title is "Don't Worry 'Bout a Thing" or "Every Little Thing's Gonna Be Alright."

But the "Three Little Birds Pitch By My Doorstep" mentioned in the first verse give the song its name.

So for clarification, if I had multiple female artists from Ireland that mentioned Ireland, green, booze, and luck, that would be eligible for +7 points?

 

[Acktion]

Looks like I missed a number, a flower, and a bird. I thought I'd found one that covered all three, but I was mishearing a lyric on closer inspection. So, I decided to go digging for

a number

a flower

and a bird

No points for Femme Fatale since I was DQ'd early on.

@morelikeasong can I get a rules clarification?

Since it's the '60s, unless a band was super popular, chances are a recording of any song, especially if it wasn't a hit single, from that year or decade might not exist on the internet. I'm that case, can we take any recording of the song we fine if we can prove it's original recording date was in the appropriate decade?

This particular tie in with the points scheme presents an issue we've not really run into yet.

Also, are we going by East Coast time for posting eligibility, or local time? I forget.

The Dubliners wrote this in 1967, but they weren’t allowed to sing all 7 verses..here is one close to the full version.

I mentioned I've been DQ'd, right?

However, I am so looking forward to being initiated to some female irish artists singing about Ireland, Green, Booze, and getting lucky!
