Sing, Little Birdie, was the first song husband and wife duo, Pearl Carr & Teddy Johnson sang together. It was the United Kingdom's entry into the 1959 Eurovision Song Contest, finishing 2nd.
The song was perhaps most famously the answer to a trivia question posed on a sketch called 'WORLD FORUM' from Monty Python's Flying Circus, Episode 25. Mao Tse Tung provided the winning answer, beating out fellow panelists Che Guevera, Lenin, and Karl Marx. The same sketch was a part of the Python movie, "Live at the Hollywood Bowl," as well as several albums.
