The Birdie Song

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Birdie Song is a British novelty tune by The Tweets which reached number two in the singles chart in October 1981 [1][2].

The song was a version of a 1950s Swiss accordion oom-pah song, The Chicken Dance. Although it topped the charts in the 1980s, the tune has in more recently been voted as "the most annoying song of all time" in a poll commissioned for the website dotmusic.[2]
