Welcome to another Flashback Edition of the Theme Show. The Birds theme was originally broadcast December 16, 1999. I reworked it a little again, sticking only to songs which had bird in the titles. Sorry, this is about a day late. The joke is that I own all the CD's yet for some reason I was hard pressed to find a copy of Free Bird and apparently I need to buy a 3rd copy of The White Album because it's missing... again (instead I had to put a cover.. I felt bad replacing the Beatles, but it turned out the cover was a nice pick me up for the set). So yeah, for some reason 75% of songs about birds are mellow, so this is a really subdued set. Also for those of you that remember from way back the Theme Shows all used to end in an Obligatory Polka, in this case I left it in (sort of). Songs which appeared in the original cast, designated with an *.

OK, I know I said BI-weekly. :-)

But I realized I probably should have started off the show with this cast instead of Space Is The Place, since it makes no sense to have it available AFTER the holiday! DUH! DUH! DUH! Anyways; if you're looking for a nice fluffy happy Forth of July soundtrack with America the Beautiful and God Bless America, then this is not your mix. Either that or just skip over everything and go to the last track. The mix gets a bit sarchastic and un-patriotic, but I end it on an ironic note with God Bless The U.S.A. because well while we may have our issues, at least I still have the freedom to play these somewhat un-patriotic songs without going to the stockades, or worse!
