Btw, do you have/need the song "Raven Girl" by Richard and Mimi Farina?
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

David - that sounds interesting. I have a very small (okay two songs that I know of) collection of songs about Corvids. (I have at least one more - but only on vinyl - Crows on a Phone Line by Let's Active - the other two are Crow from the Jim Carroll Band and Black Crow Flying from Joni Mitchell.) Anyway, I would love more.

I'll post it. It's a dark, pretty folk song.
I also have "Silver Raven" by Gene Clark. (Not actual ravens, however.)
And the whackaloon jazz vocal version of Poe's "The Raven."
There are tons of Tom Waits crow songs! The one most appealing to a corvid fancier would be "Shiny Things" off Orphans. (Waits is the one that tipped me to crows pleasure in "anting.")
And I think the Irish folk group Altan had an album titled Red Crow.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Cool.
There is a Japanese folk song about crows going home. Which I cannot recall the actual title to. (My mother used to sing it - actually, it may be a lullabye.)

Element of Light.
I don't think it was on the original LP release - I think it was an outtake that was added on the first CD release, or maybe a later CD re-release.
