(42) 36. THE BIRD - THE TIME

There must be something in the Toledo water. Explains that crazy mayor candidate and some of your musical selections. Don't think I haven't noticed you voting for that nameless horse either.

There must be something in the Toledo water. Explains that crazy mayor candidate and some of your musical selections. Don't think I haven't noticed you voting for that nameless horse either.

It's a fun song!
Silly? Sure.
But it's got a good party groove.

 

[Channel98]

I hate The Time's The Bird – but I like Jerry Reed's The Bird. And it includes impressions – supposedly done by the bird – of Willie Nelson and George Jones. This peaked at #2 on the December 18 1982 Billboard country chart. (Earl Thomas Conley's Somewhere Between Right & Wrong was number one.) "My bird! My five hundred dollars!"

 

[sadchild]

I have never heard this song before tonight. But what a pile of crap. Raises my same level of ire as the nameless horse.

SQUAK!!

Hallelujah...



LOL yeah 3-star song for me. Hearing it once a year on the VJ is enough for me. I do like "Jungle Love" though. That's a jammm
