Archaeology Lingers Under My Eye
The California Audubon Society just published their Top 10 popular songs about or related to birds list. Naturally, I took that as a challenge. As you might expect, their list is a little overplayed and obvious (except for their #10; who even knew that song was about birds?). I couldn't narrow mine down to one top 10 list, so I did two; one for generic "bird" songs and one for songs about specific bird families. I'm not even going to bother to lj-cut this, so confident am I that there's no one out there left to complain about me taking up their friends feed.
