Songs that feature birds No 15

The Be Good Tanyas, 'The Coo Coo Bird'

There are so many great versions of this traditional folk song and this is one of my favourites.

'Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
She never hollers coo coo till the fourth day of July'

Sometimes people cover mediocre songs and make them a lot better. Rarely though do I ever hear a cover of a great song that I think does the original justice.

For the Turnstiles, by Neil Young, is a great song. Everything about it hits me in the gut.

For the Turnstiles by The Be Good Tanyas is that rare, rare, rare case where someone covers a great song and does it justice. It's as good as the original, if not better (are there shades of perfection?)
