Talk:And Your Bird Can Sing

message: The guitars are played by Harrison and Lennon, according to Lewishon. If there is any source that credits McCartney, then needed to be cited.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.40.0.34 (talk) 18:36, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well at the moment the article and the credits contradict each other on this.  Which is correct? Mezigue (talk) 11:04, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

message: No one knows why they were laughing in the song.
Was it cause in the Anthology song, John was smacking his lips? and making funny noises?

thread_title:  REASON FOR LAUGHING 

message: I can't recall which book I read that from, but it's been suggested that the inspiration came from Cynthia who bought a cuckoo clock to John who found the gift unbearable.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.56.95.59 (talk) 03:59, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Inspiration 

message: The Sound & Vision quote being cited for "hard rock" as a genre is being used out of context: "Go forward to 1968 and The Beatles (a.k.a. The White Album) and you get a veritable hard-rock clinic on what used to be, in the days of vinyl". Did someone just Google "hard rock" and the song title in the same sentence, find this book source, and use it to support their own conclusion? Dan56 (talk) 19:37, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Same with "power pop" and its source: "Ten Classic Power Pop Intro Riffs ... "the first 30 seconds of a song ... 7. 'And Your Bird Can Sing' - Beatles". Dan56 (talk) 19:40, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hard rock 

message: The term "psychedelic music" is used as an umbrella term which covers an array of genres, and alone doesn't define a particular style or song. However, psychedelic rock is more to the point and in line with various contemporary acts such as the Byrds and in particular their song "Eight Miles High" which is often cited as the vanguard of psychedelia.    — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.170.151.101 (talk) 21:21, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: What does any of that have to do with the sources covering this particular topic, i.e. this song? ("Psychedelic number") Dan56 (talk) 21:25, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Psychedelic music is not a genre, just an umbrella term that covers number of genres. This source doesn't describe psychedelic as a distinct genre. --John of Lancaster (talk) 15:41, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  So dont use it for that article. As for this article, it calls "And You Bird..." a "psychedelic number", and again, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. And I could argue with you that "rock" is an umbrella term covering a number of genres (hard rock, psychedelic rock, etc.), but I dont have to. The source supports "psychedelic"; maybe the source's author feels the song encompasses a number of psychedelic styles, maybe he feels it's a genre. We cant edit and cherrypick sources with such prejudices/preconceived opinions, but be objective and stick to the sources. Dan56 (talk) 23:26, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

They make it sound like a Bill Monroe song.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_River_Valley_Boys~~~~  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.39.18.72 (talk) 19:43, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
