If we are set to do a two part 5th hour theme between tonight & Friday next week, with tonight being any songs by artists & groups with a bird in their name, and next Friday night being songs about a bird regardless. or whether or not the artist or group they're by does not have a bird in their name, then here are my suggestions (And yes, I'm stealing some of them from Steven Green, lol):
For tonight 1/23/26 (Part 1):
The Byrds - Mr. Tambourine Man
The Eagles - Already Gone, Hotel California, & Take It To The Limit
A Flock of Seagulls - I Ran So Far Away
The Flamingos - I Only Have Eyes For You
Maxine Nightingale - Right Back To Where We Started From, You Are Everything, You Made My Life Beautiful, Love Hit Me
The Penguins - Earth Angel
The Mynah Birds - It's My Time
The Yardbirds - For Your Love
For Next Friday 1/30/26 (Part 2):
The Steve Miller Band - Fly Like An Eagle
Mockingbird - Carly Simon & James Taylor

- If I have anymore ideas for groups or artists with a type of bird in their name, and/or songs about a bird, I'll post more in follow ups to this post. And anyone else that has ideas of their own for artists, groups, and/or songs for this theme in mind, feel free to comment them in response.
