Birdhouse in your soul

[Cockney_si]

Put a little birdhouse in your soul was a 90s hit for they might be giants but who sang the 80s version.

I'm sure there was one, it was out in the early 80s in the time of the Housemartins.

Many thanks!

I'm sure it's a TMBG original.

I know I'm in the minority but i love this band.

Love them too.

It was written by TMBG and released on their 1990 album Flood.

And sadly, i know that without looking elsewhere - the first ditty on the album states the year and album name.
"...it's a brand new record for 1990
They Might Be Giants' brand new al-buuuum Flooood"

Hello, Whickerman - I knew there had to be another fan somewhere out there. My favourite song of theirs is She's an Angel.
Now, if you just tell me you're a big Barenaked Ladies fan too ,I'll be happy to run away with you! : )

[Whickerman]

My favourite tmbg song is Dead or Istanbul

I must admit I do like the barenaked ladies! - especially Alternative Girlfriend and It's all Been Done.

What time should I call?

Meet me at the station, Whickerman. I'll be the one with the red rose. I'll just tell my husband it's because he listens to ELO too much!
