The Angry Birds Rap (Lyrics) And we’re launchin’ And we’re crashin’ Let’s hit the pigs ’til they all go pop We’re the best birds But we’re angry If you take our eggs We’re never gonna stop Every theme and level we will get three stars and set you straight Maybe find a golden egg and win until the next update Screw the pigs, screw the pigs, they’re wearin’ helmets, hardhats, usin’ tricks Fake mustaches and green skin, it don’t matter cus I know I’m gonna win Birds on my side, they’re pretty fly, launch ‘em in the air, the pigs cant hide It’s totally fair, you took our eggs like a spy, and besides I got my finger as a guide Touch the screen, the birds are angry, mean, they don’t stop on Christmas, or Halloween They’re always gonna switch to a different theme, they’re definitely makin’ up the greatest team Got that that slingshot and pull it back, aim for the right spot then attack You took our eggs, that was wack, and if you do it again, were comin’ back But sometimes you pigs just wont go, always come again like 4 in a row We gotta get ‘em to stop cus they will overflow, say goodbye, no hello Stop your laughin and stop the snatchin …

“Ascending Bird” is an arrangement of a traditional Persian folk melody by Silk Road Ensemble members Colin Jacobsen and Siamak Aghaei. As described on “Silent City,” a CD from Iranian kamancheh player Kayhan Kalhor and the string quartet Brooklyn Rider, “Ascending Bird” recounts the mythical tale of a bird’s attempt to fly to the sun. After failing twice, on the third attempt the bird loses its physical body in the radiant embrace of the sun, a metaphor for spiritual transcendence.

Every year, save one, for the past 16 years, Dan and Tom head into the woods at Magee Marsh, a migratory bird center in North Eastern Ohio, to count warblers. There are about 32 separate warbler species that migrate through Ohio and Tom and Dan informally battle each year to see who can spot the most species. We also spend a lot of time visiting with our birding friends, many of who we’ve known for years. It’s one of the highlights of our year.
