I think the one with 23 birds is "The Twelve Days of Christmas". I might have gotten it sooner, but my preferred versions involve either an indoor plastic birdbath or a beer (in a tree).
Yep, that's what I was looking for.
I omitted posting one to see if anybody thought of it. Might be the mother lode listing 23 birds, maybe more depending on your interpretation
Still waiting for that big one
You know it
You know the words
You’ve heard it for years (annually)
It's been done by dozen(12)s of people
Nothing else rings a bell?
I didn’t think it would be this hard
It’s a common song but sung for kings & queens, lords & ladies
I like the part with
And a Japanese transistor radio
And it has a wire with a thing on one end
That you can stick in your ear
And a thing on the other end
That you can't stick anywhere, because it's bent

"Sing A Song Of Sixpence" has 4 and 20 blackbirds. One flew off and pecked off the maid's nose so that leaves 23. It didn't chart too high, but it must be it!
Nope

I gotta wonder about this.
"Wes Campbell’s plan to kill himself in nearby woods was derailed only by a bounty of a dozen or so squirrels that he was able to shoot and bring home for dinner."
If 12 squirrels are playing on the ground and you shoot one, how many are left? NONE!

While taking a nap, I dreamed about listing bird songs. While still asleep, I must have thought of 20 - 30 songs. (Yeah, I know I have a problem)
Just some;
Tennessee Bird Walk
Paloma Blanca
Yellow Bird
May The Bird Of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose
Mockingbird
Snowbird
Gonna Find Me A Bluebird

The Oldies Music Board » TV Themes » August 30, 2023 7:56 pm |
Ran across an interesting site: 1950s TV Themes - Title Cross-Reference
I seem to remember a game show, probably in the ‘50s, that used the Swedish Rhapsody as the theme. I’ve tried to find the name for years. This site didn’t help but it was interesting.
At the bottom of the page, I clicked on “To the 1950s TV Series List” and it took me to this page: It’ll keep you busy for a while.

It's my favorite Tom Jones song and ...
I’m sure for a different reason than me. It would probably have been 1968. I was in the Air Force, stationed at McDill AFB. I’d driven to downtown Tampa and was stopped for a traffic light. Looking to my right, there was a strip club called The Old Fort. There was a floor to ceiling, curved window on the front corner of the building and a girl was in the window, dancing to Delilah. I wasn’t in a hurry for that light to change,

The Oldies Music Board » R&R vs. Rock » April 29, 2023 2:24 pm |
Filling in the genre on mp3 songs on my phone. When I ripped the CDs, the genre was sometimes filled in from the database. Thing is some of what is defiantly R&R is tagged as Rock.
I don’t think there is a definitive answer but what is your opinion of the difference. I thought “Rock” began when things were tagged “Hard Rock”, “Punk Rock”, “Protest Rock”, etc.
The Oldies Music Board » Last song – slow song » April 29, 2023 2:23 pm |
That was generally the rule at the 60’s dances or “mixers” I attended. I seem to remember these being last song but need help remembering others.
Rosie & the Originals - Angel Baby
Five Satins - In The Still Of The Night
The Penguins - Earth Angel
For some reason, I don’t remember hearing Santo & Johnny’s Sleep Walk until a few years later on a juke box.
