Where dog songs were mostly about dogs, and cat songs were mostly about sex, bird songs are a little of each and a little of neither. Sometimes a bird is just a metaphor, I guess.
No Angry Birds song? No Little Wing?
I have the Stevie Ray Vaughan version of “Little Wing”, but not the Angry Birds song. I admit, that’s a hole in my collection.
Oh well, we all have those.
