Hmmm. I have many of those, and wouldn't have considered most of them to be jazz. Van Halen did a fair imitation of Louie Prima, didn't he? I quoted another piece from the album with Classical Gas on your forum. ;)
Tennesee Bird Walk ("When the birds go walking southward in their dirty underwear...")
Ah, found the lyrics (lyrics & music by Jack Blanchard... but I don't think he recorded it...it was a male and female -- ha! Jack Blanchard and Misty Morgan.)
Take away the trees and the birds'll have to sit upon the ground (hum) Take away their wings and the birds'll have to walk to get around Take away the birdbaths and dirty birds will soon be everywhere Take away their feathers and the birds will walk around in underwear Take away their (whistle) and the birds'll have to whisper when they sing (Chirp chirp!) Take away their common sense and they'll be heading southward in the spring
Oh, remember me, my darling when spring is in the air And the bald headed birds are whispering everywhere When you see them walking southward in their dirty underwear That's the Tennessee bird walk
How about some trees so the birds won't have to sit upon the ground? (hum) And how about some wings so the birds won't have to walk to get around? And how about a birdbath or two so the birds will all be clean? And how about some feathers so their underwear no longer can be seen? How about a little (whistle) so the birds won't have to whisper when they sing? (Chirp chirp!) And how about some common sense So they won't be blocking traffic in the spring?
Oh, remember me, my darling when spring is in the air And the bald headed birds are whispering everywhere When you see them walking southward in their dirty underwear That's the Tennessee bird walk (Chirp chirp!) That's the Tennessee bird walk (Chirp chirp!) (Repeat and fade)
