Thread Name: Req: Gooney Bird Song
Subject: RE: Req: Gooney Bird Song
I've found a novelty bird song about a Dolphus Bird by Jackie Kannon where the bird couldn't fly because it had no wings (Billboard, June 24th, 1957, p. 56) -- does that sound familiar? A report in XXXXX wrote "The cry of the Dolphus bird keeps things pretty exciting" (Cash Box, July 6th, 1957, p. 17). No luck on finding either a sound clip or the lyrics, but there's several other recordings of his online. Maybe the voice will sound familiar?
