Lyrics for Song: Big Bird
Lyrics for Album: Whammy! [1983]
There's a big bird over my house
Go away, go away
There's a big bird flying over my house
And it looks like it's decided to stay
It's making a mistake, a big mistake
Big bird
Big bird
Big bird
Big bird
I pinch myself
I think I'm not dreaming
I'm not
I hear screaming
C'mon! Get it out now
Wants to use me to feather its nest
Now it wants the rest
Wants to use me to feather its nest
Now it wants the rest
It's swooping from the branch
It's swooping from the sky
Spreadin' its feathers
Cuttin' out-flying
There's a big gray bird flying over my house
What do you think I am?
I'm not a louse
There's a big bird over my house
There's a big, big, big bird
Over my house
What's it doing?
What does it want?
What's it doing?
What does it want?
What's it doing?
What does it want?
What's it doing?
What does it want?
What's it doing?
What does it want?
What's it doing?
What does it want?
What's it doing?
What does it want?
What's it doing?
What does it want?
I pinch myself
I think I'm dreaming
I'm not, I hear screaming
C'mon! Get it out now
Wants to use me to feather its nest
Now it wants the rest
Wants to use me to feather its nest
Now it wants the rest
It's swooping from the branch
Swooping from the sky
Spreadin' its feathers
Cuttin' out-flying
There's a big gray bird circling
'Round my house
Circling round and round
Circling round my house
There's a big bird over my house
There's a big, big, big bird
Over my house

Big Bird
The B-52's' "Big Bird" is a quintessential example of the band's irreverent, funk-infused rock style, released on their 1983 album *Whammy!*. Featuring the group's signature high-pitched vocals and quirky instrumentation, the track captures the chaotic energy that defined their early career. As part of their discography, the song reflects the band's unique blend of new wave and funk, contributing to their reputation for theatrical performance and memorable hooks. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to evoke the specific cultural moment of the early 1980s while maintaining a timeless, playful spirit. |
