Tweet

Time to complete this song trivia edition with our fine feathered friends before moving onto other favorite animal tunes. Remember, the early bird catches the worm, or in this case, the correct songs and artists in today's quiz. Enjoy today's video by the "artist formerly known as...." A great entertainer and musician, a creative force, and an artist who left us to soon. The "Purple One" gave us some great songs! So as you figure out these clues here is an old idiom to keep in mind: "Birds of a feather flock together," however not this species of birds.... Can you name the songs and artists from these musical hints: 1. This American soft-rock duo charted a few hits in the 70's, one about breezy summer weather which charted at #6 on Billboard's Hot 100. Both members have long been public advocates of the Bahá'í Faith. This tune includes lyrics, complimented by a chant-like chorus, and scripture quotes from the Baha'i faith. The title of today's bird trivia song is about one of the smallest birds in existence. To supply energy needs, this bird drinks nectar, a sweet liquid inside certain flowers. Fun fact: Before their commercial success in the 70's this duo, along with Glen Campbell, formed a group called "Glen Campbell and the GCs" which played at The Crossbow in Van Nuys, California. The band only lasted a couple of years before the members went their separate ways. 2. This bird tune is a 1963 song written and recorded by Inez and Charlie Foxx. It was remade in the 70's and sung as a duet by this female singer and her folk rock/pop husband at the time. This singer had a string of hits during the 70's among them the chart topping "Your So Vain" and a #2 hit, "Nobody Does It Better" from the 1977 James Bond film, The Spy Who Loved Me. The kind of bird this artist sings about is known for mimicking the sounds of other birds. Bonus: This song was recorded as a demo by one of the band members in 1977, years after the breakup of his original group. The finished product was completed by the remaining three members in 1994, recording around the deceased band member's vocals. The song picked up a Grammy for Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal and Best Music Video, Short Form. The video features a man playing a ukulele at the end of the video. The title of the tune is a bird idiom sometimes used to mean having no worries or troubles. Liner Notes- Besides writing and composing the track, "When Doves Cry," Prince played all the instruments on the song. And remarkably, this is the only song with a kind of bird in the title to reach #1 on the Hot 100. "Rockin' Robin" - both the Bobby Day original and Michael Jackson cover - ended at #2. "Fly Like An Eagle" by the Steve Miller Band also finished at #2. And the envelopes please.....Whodunnit? If your stuck and need additional help just let me know in your response.
