The Tweets – Birdie Song
The Birdie Song is a lighthearted tune that soared to popularity in the 1980s. Originally known as “Der Ententanz” (The Duck Dance) in German, it was later adapted and popularised by The Tweets, who released it under the title “The Birdie Song” in 1981.
The song with its catchy dance routine, quickly endeared it to audiences of all ages and has since become a favorite at parties, weddings, and other celebratory gatherings. The song is characterised by its repetitive chorus, which instructs listeners to mimic the actions of different birds, including flapping their arms like wings and waddling like ducks.
Despite receiving mixed reviews from music critics, it became a commercial success, reaching the top of the UK Singles Chart and achieving chart success in other countries too.
