2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER WHAT
MattyBoy says that's in caps because it's IMPORTANT! so here we go--you'll get what Player gives ya.
1. IF SOMEONE SAYS “IS THIS OKAY” YOU SAY? California, Joni Mitchell
2. WHAT WOULD BEST DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONALITY? Song Sparrow, Lang Elliott (from my "Music of the Birds" CD)
UPDATE!--Lang Elliott used to work at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and he's a big-time bird guy. He does recordings of actual bird songs and puts them together on CDs (and usually an accompanying book with text about and photos of the birds).
I tried to put up the intro/first track from "Music of the Birds" up here, but I don't know how to upload it. Here, however, is a link to a photo and recording of one of my favorite bird songs, that of the wood thrush.
I wish I could load the intro to his CD, though, because you should hear how he talks--it's just the funniest, dorkiest, but cutest thing you'll hear all day! First thing--here's his photo:

I'm gathering that you like Lang Elliot.
And screw the cool factor crap. I got fucking death metal on mine. Everyone else has mellow song stylings, indie rock and people I've never heard of. WE are the REAL rebels! :)
DG, I am so disappointed that your answer to
"14. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?"
was not some sort of bird. You have to promise not to tell anyone, but when I was a wee lad, I wanted to grow up to be a dalmatian. (Weird. But I had met Sparky the firedog somewhere, and knew there was a guy in the suit.) Now, I would settle for reincarnation as a dog.
Randal -- feckin' A! we're rebels! A friend got me that Lang Elliott CD (and the accompanying book!) for xmas last year, and I wanted to learn more bird songs, so I used to play it all day at work -- until my coworkers threatened to kill me.
Sorghum Crow, I hear ya! It seemed like every time I'd hope for a good song to answer a question, I'd get a sparrow or something, but then when I wanted a bird, I'd get a song! Crazy ass Shuffle. And don't worry--your dalmation secret is safe with me. I've always thought I would like to be reincarnated as a bird, so I could fly.
If it were not for my daughters there would be no coolness whatsoever, because I'd be clueless(er than I am about style.) Given that, what's on my laptop is what I scrounged during a certain type of limited access and does not include hardly any of what I have on disk (and cassette), Indigo Girls, Ani Di Franco... the lezzy favs, but never heard of Lang Elliot. Told you I'm not cool. I'll be checkin' him/ her (?) out.
Oh man- that is too great. You are for the birds!! And that is a good thing in this case!
How nice to come by here to see this after getting my own arse kicked at my own blog. That said, I stand by my words, don't abandon me people.
Actually Lang Elliott is this bird guy who used to work at the Cornell University Lab of Ornithology, and the tracks on the CD are recordings of actual bird songs! I guess I should've explained this before... hee hee. I think maybe I need a follow-up post...
Frieda Bee--glad to know you're rockin' the classics!
Fran--glad to help bring a smile to your face!
Randal--see above -- although your guess would probably make a very interesting CD!
Okay, update done! Hope that clears things up. I guess this wouldn't have been an issue on my birding blog, but here--well, let's just say that few of the commenters on my birding blog would know who the hell Dr. Monkey von Monkerstein or Princess Sparkle Pony are, okay?
Nice work, dguzman. Am I the only one was told by this random meme that he was doomed, DOOMED DOOOMMMMED!
Apparently so.
Your biggest secret is that you're the Baby Jesus??
