Not sure how to post it but Dennis Wilson wrote the wonderful 'Little Bird' for the 'Friends' LP by The Beach Boys in '68.
Also, a charming song on the charity LP that gave the world 'Across The Universe' was 'Wings' by The Hollies.

It's funny; it took me about 4 tries to find a video of this that sounded right. In most of them the lead vocal could barely be heard. I guess the problem stems from what was discussed in this thread:

Vocals on extremely separate channels (http://www.dmbeatles.com/forums/index.php?topic=14008.msg295952#msg295952)


Then there's this bird song, which has been lodged in my head since I watched the movie two weeks ago:

Bye, bye, Bird-he!
