A Pop Stand Playlist: For the Birds
A-well, a bird, bird, bird, bird is the word
Let me tell ya ’bout the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees and the moon up above. — Jewel Aikens
On second thought, let’s save the latter items for another day, another playlist.
This edition of Pop Stand is strictly about the birds — or, rather, songs about our fine, feathered friends.
