"Cuckoo Song" is a single by musician Mike Oldfield, released in 1977 (See 1977 in music).
Single history
It was originally written by Michael Praetorius (1571 – 1621) and was arranged by Oldfield. The B side, a musical precursor of Incantations and which could almost be a part of it, is an original composition by Oldfield. The single (in a plain white sleeve) was included as a free bonus when the double LP Incantations was released in 1978. It is one of the many non-album singles which Oldfield released in the 1970s. "Cuckoo Song" also features Les Penning.[1]
