The Lyrics
thought i'd pick on a different hitchcock film for a change
small and mean with hunger, stalkin'
the birds are freaky, squealin' and squawkin'
and when attackin'
the ones they're hackin'
go YAHHHHHHHHHH
as they stalk, they flock in numbers
they wait so cool...and seem so gentle
but when attackin'
the ones they're hackin'
go YAHHHHHHHHHH
ooh...and they want me so badly
wild...as they bellow and hover
yes...how they look at me madly
and each day its a crazed thing to see
they land on my head angrily
small and mean, with hunger, stalkin'
the birds are freaky, squealin' and squawkin'
there's one attackin' my eye
and now i can't see
he's blinded poor me
and now i can't see
because he's blinded poor me
the birds are freaky, squealin' and squawkin'
and when attackin'
the ones they're hackin'
go YAHHHHHHHHHH
as they stalk, they flock in numbers
they wait so cool...and seem so gentle
but when attackin'
the ones they're hackin'
go YAHHHHHHHHHH
ooh...and they want me so badly
wild...as they bellow and hover
yes...how they look at me madly
and each day its a crazed thing to see
they land on my head angrily
small and mean, with hunger, stalkin'
the birds are freaky, squealin' and squawkin'
there's one attackin' my eye
and now i can't see
he's blinded poor me
and now i can't see
because he's blinded poor me

This flies. Now, how about "Vertigo" for "Vertigo"?
Just the right mix of terror and humor
No fowl play here... 5-5-5
thanks john, AFW and macphisto
Did you see High Anxiety with Mel Brooks by any chance? When the swallows come back to Capistrano.........
thanks 2eagle...yep, that was a memorable scene...lol
I'm glad no one gave you "the bird" for this. I pictured Stan Getz with a pigeon flying into the bell of his sax. Great job.
Love it...your movie Cliff Notes version is right on the money. BTW, I'm working on one that's also about birds, to "Losing My Religion"....called "Oozing From Three Pigeons". But it's still kinda crappy right now.
Vintage Alvin Rhodes - right on target with very good substitutions.
thanks IB (good mental imagery)....thanks dee (sounds like a good one)....thanks john (glad ya enjoyed)
As good as any of the Bates series you've done. Well done Alvin Hitchcock. If you don't grab that bird in your hand he's going to peck someone's bush.
thanks guy....yes, birds can indeed have dangerous peckers
Hmmm - Somehow the name Woody comes to mind.
ha-ha-ha-HA...HA
