Theme 416 - Birds Of A Feather - Song titles that contain the name of a species of bird. - KJS - VOTING - closed MIDNIGHT Sunday April 14th

[Val]

Shouldn't be any trouble here. KJS would like us to nominate tracks which contain the name of any bird species.

The next FIVE themes are:

Theme 417 - Alliterative titles - Any track with two or more words all starting with the same letter. - Fishy_Jim

Theme 418 - "Moon Choons" - Songs about any moon fact or fictional, bar Earth's own! So, you cannot simply use "The Moon or Moon". Can be in the title or in the lyrics. I'll post a list of suggestions nearer the time. - Shooke theDuke
This is the Wiki page about the moons of planets and dwarf planets in the Solar System:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

Theme 419 - "Can, Can't, Cannot" - Song titles containing one or more of can, can't, cannot - Helen
Theme 420 - Wildcard Round 18
Theme 421 - "All By Myself" - solo outings by artists who are best known (or first known) as being a member of a band/group (but an original track, not a cover of their band's songs) - Val

and new ideas are always welcome at:

A head's up on my forthcoming theme "Moon Choons" - found this link containing all of our solar system's moons:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of... .

Couldn't really find much on fictional ones...and one might need to search further moons names outside of our solar system...but hopefully this'll help. BTW: i did have a couple of noms lined up for this, but wouldn't you know it....i've forgotten what they were! Earth's moon isn't permitted, so no Moon or The Moon, but you can go with lyrics or title. So, yeah....good luck with that!

This list of moon names might help although I'm not sure there's going to be heaps of tunes that name them; hopefully enough though:

https://www.go-astronomy.com/planets/...

EDIT: I have done an alphabetical list of 167 moons of planets and dwarf planets on the THEMES thread. Also suggested perhaps including the name of the artist besides title and lyrics just to give a wider choice of tracks?

All over bar the shouting and it's Grimmy way out in front with 25 votes for The Manfreds. Tim takes out second place with William Cornysh's composition (credit too to the artists - The King's Singers, favourites of mine, I have a couple of their albums and have seen them in concert) - 15 votes. And a tie for third on 13 votes, it's Collette with Prince & The Revolution and Jemma with Simon & Garfunkel. Congrats to the winners and thanks to all nominators and voters.

[Grimmy]

It’s always nice to win one, thanks folks!
Apologies for not voting: internet down.
