Filed under: 9:30 Coffee Break

It's the day before Thanksgiving. Some of us are prepping our stomachs for mass quantities of turkey (and the tryptophan coma that follows shortly after), while some are planning a shopping binge this Friday. Help us honor our favorite Thanksgiving menu item with some bird songs for the 9:30 Coffee Break.

Thanks for all the requests!
We played:
The Beatles "And Your Bird Can Sing"
Theresa Andersson "Birds Fly Away"
The Trashmen "Surfin Bird"
A Band of Bees "Chicken Payback"
Everly Brothers "Bird Dog"
Prince "When Doves Cry"

Surfin Bird by the Trashmen

And please tell me you know that episode where Peter Griffin gets obsessed with this song, and Peter ends up meeting Jesus whilst searching for a copy of the song after someone destroys every available copy in Quahog.
