Little Bird

I've always taken the banjo and high vocals to be bird tweet type of sounds.

Did it ever occur to you, Cable, how wise and bountiful God was to put breasts on a woman? Just the right number in just the right place. Did you ever notice that, Cable?

  Where do you hear bird effects in that song?

Day In The Life of A Tree does not have bird effects, it has actual birds recorded in Brian's Bevery Hills back yard at dawn. ~swd

Perhaps the figurative "muted trumpeters swan"?

Ah, "Woody Woodpecker" is a bird, and so you can make the connotation that his "laugh" represented musically is a bird sound. By the same token, the Woody Woodpecker Symphony has those knocking sound effects, which could be interpreted as a woopecker pecking.

Stephen, that is very true (as read in your book; great story on that wonderful song), but I was just making a point about "bird sounds" in general as being incorporated into the Beach Boys' music. It's a recurring theme!

Think I need to adjust my sense of humor a little. :-)

The "Woody Woodpecker" trumpet lines, indeed.

Sure does! Good one. Isn't there a rooster in Loop De Loop as well?

Diamond Head. Probably had the coolest bird sound effects imo.   

Cant leave out the animalized Barnyard.

Funky Pretty sounds like a bat is flying around the room. Wasnt Desper involved with that? I know its supposed to sound more like a shooting star than a bat. But the song flows better if i imagine bats, and Brian always prefered his songs to have more then one meaning.

Good call!

I don't really hear anything in Barnyard that I would call a bird sound, but that "dow dow" in a weird pitched voice could be a "duck" or something.
