The Bird And The Bee Discography Rarl


"The Birds and the Bees" was written with a lyric based on the "birds and the bees" idiom commonly referenced with regard to affording young people their introduction to sex education. An international hit in 1965, "The Birds and the Bees" was reminiscent of such 1950s' honky tonk-style hits as "Blueberry Hill" by Fats Domino and "Kansas City" by Wilbert Harrison.Some subsequent recordings (i.e. by artists other than Akens) identify the composer as Herb Newman (Newman had written "The Wayward Wind" a 1956 No.1 hit for Gogi Grant). Jewel Akens had recorded one single for Era as frontman for the doo-wop group the Turn-Arounds in 1964 when Newman pitched "The Birds and the Bees" as the group's next recording; as Akens was the only group member to favor the song he recorded it solo, working through four or five different arrangements and thus considerably honing the song's original format.[2] Musicians on the recording included Billy Strange and Ervan Coleman on guitar, Bob West and Arthur Wright on bass, Hal Blaine on drums and Leon Russell on piano.




The Bird And The Bee Discography Rarl



That turned out to be the jazz standards and Brazilian tropicalia she and Kurstin first bonded over, a part of the whole movement of art and culture from vintage eras that has always seemed to steep into the stylized sound and packaging of bird and the bee.


A: Mistletoe spreads by seeds -- the seeds in some mistletoe explode from a fruit and disperse themselves. Many North American types of mistletoe are distributed by birds either in their feces or due to the stickiness of the berries and seeds. They also may be cleaned from bird beaks onto the branches of trees where they grow. Once mistletoe germinate and become established, they have material similar to a root for a ground-dwelling plant. This material moves under the bark and that is how the mistletoe gains energy as well as nutrients from its host tree.


This song is the ballad of the Hummingbird Hawk-Moth which is a moth that looks and acts like a hummingbird. The bee part comes in because both the moth and the hummingbird act like bees, in the sense that they feed on flowers. It is pretty much a bizarre song pointing out the bizarreness of a bizarre animal.


So the Sleep of Reason Corporation would naturally produce a Clearwing Hummingbird Moth, since it is a monster! Also, monsters in the classical sense were deformations of the natural order, from the latin monstrum omen, warnings of disorder in the universe revealed in deformity of living beings.


If you look at the monsters that are creeping in upon Goya, there are no moths, but the scary winged things are unnerving, and are being compared to the unnerving weirdness of the Hummingbird Moth to the narrator.


At the Beacon theater show, Linnell said that this song was written after he saw one in the garden of a friend. Which I didn't expect at all, I thought he read about them, being an urban guy. I myself live four hours north of NYC and have a very large weedy garden. When I first heard this song I couldn't believe it. I saw my first hummingbird moth two summers ago, and it really gave me a shock. I have hummingbirds show up all the time, and my first reflexive reaction to seeing one is to think it's a really big bug, and then realize it's a bird. So when I saw the hummingbird moth I actually went (mentally) 'Bug! Oh, bird. No, wait a minute, holy crap, BUG! WHAT IS THAT THING?!'


you'd write a song like this about it. Saw a hummingbird clearwing moth in my backyard last year. Hummingbird is freaky enough, but a moth so big it could be a bird acting like a bee... They're common enough too, I'm sure he just saw one & figured out what it was.


"Protozoa, snakes, and horses have enlisted in the forcesOf the bee of the bird of the mothAll are irresistibly directed by the suctionOf a hypnotizing tractor beam presenting a productionOf the sleep of reason corporation in associationWith the bee of the bird of the moth"


The title "Bee of the Bird of the Moth" refers to the size of the organism: A moth's version of something the size of a bird (to us) would be incredibly small. Then take that creature and conceptualize another organism that's comparable to the size of a bee to us. To me that means that the creature is either a virus or a bacteria.


As for the song itself, to me it seems like it's about man's attempts to (ineffectually) impose order on nature. The fact that there is something that confuses us because it won't fit into bee/bird/moth categories, speaks to our need for taxonomy. The bee/bird/moth seems to be closely associated with natural forces, especially biological ones. Protozoa, snakes, horses, swarming, catbug, head lice, etc. Other parts of the song seem to be about man's efforts to impose his order on nature, frequently to no avail. Shipments of electronics to the ocean, washer fluid spraying in the air, even head lice lurking despite efforts cover them up with hats or search them out with headlights. The bee/bitd/moth is messing with the best laid plans, simply by existing. The reactions to it range from being hypnotized to crying and scrambling. Basically, we can't cope with the fact that nature defies our efforts to impose a sense of order on it.


As we seriously consider how to celebrate those different from us by color, race, origin or gender identity, consider these facts-of-life words from this familiar tune, also set against a birdlife backdrop.


Don't you tell it to the breeze,'Cos she will tell the birds and bees,And everyone will knowBecause you told them once before.Yes you told them once before,It's no secret anymore.


Now don't you tell it to the breeze'Cos she will tell the birds and bees,And everyone will knowBecause you told them once before.Yes you told them once before,It's no secret anymore.
