  The Song Canary
This is because nature had already been selecting the serin populations of the various islands of the Canaries, the Azores, and Madeira for certain song characteristics long before the domestication of these birds took place.
The males sing their songs, choose and defend their territories; it is the females which select or reject the males, in part based on these songs, and, therefore, the females are instrumental in determining which direction of song will thrive and which will die out in any given population.
Because of this it is possible, with a little patience and a lot of luck, to retrain at the right time.

 UCSB Libraries - Songs: A Finding Guide
The reason is that songs and arias are often not available separately; rather, they are published in collections (anthologies) or as parts of larger works--operas, musicals, song cycles, etc. Consequently, a simple search by song title in Pegasus, UCSB's online catalog, will often be unsuccessful.
If you know that the song or aria you are looking for is from a musical or an opera, and if you know the title of the larger work, search for a vocal score (i.e., a score with melody and keyboard accompaniment) of the larger work in Pegasus.
Songs and arias are listed by composer, with anonymous songs listed separately by geographic origin; also listed separately are sea chanties and carols.

 Gene Vincent Song Comments
The song, recorded less than one month after Eddie Cochran's tragic death, was arranged for Gene by Eddie, and was scheduled to be an upcoming Gene and Eddie duet.
The record didn't receive much airplay because DJ's thought song was too frantic, had a reference to the devil, and words were (intentionally) too hard to understand.
Songs are: "Wrapped Up in Rockabilly," "Baby Blue," "Yes I Love You Baby," "I Got a Baby," "Blue Cap Man," "I Lost An Angel," "Silly Song," "Lotta Lovin'," "Say Mama," "Down in the Den," "Dance to the Bop," "Johnny's Boogie" (instrumental) and "Be Bop A Lula." Vocals are shared by Johnny, Paul and Bubba.

 Independent Lens . STRANGE FRUIT . The Film | PBS
While many people assume that the song "Strange Fruit" was written by Holiday herself, it actually began as a poem by Abel Meeropol, a Jewish schoolteacher and union activist from the Bronx who later set it to music.
The song was quickly adopted as the anthem for the anti-lynching movement.
In many ways, the story of the song and its writer and interpreters is as moving and oddly haunting as the song itself.

 House Finch
The eastern population experienced exponential growth because of the species' high fecundity and the long-distance dispersal of juveniles.
Because of color variabilities, the pattern of red coloring (light red, orange, or yellow in some birds) rather than the actual hue distinguishes House Finch males from their similar cousins, the Purple Finch (Carpodacus purpureus) and Cassin's Finch (C. cassinii).
Purple and Cassin's finches lack the strong facial pattern of a House Finch, which is created by the sharp separation of the "headband" from the throat by a brown cheek patch; the backs of Purple and Cassin's Finches are tinged reddish with brown streaks.

 Write a Song on the Guitar
Of all the aspects involved with creating new songs, writing a strong melody is undoubtedly the most commonly overlooked and possibly the hardest component of music, particularly with modern pop/rock music.
This wasn't always the case because the pop songwriters of the 1930's and 1940's focused only on writing melodies and in many cases it was the basis for a song, with lyrics and chords only added in later to give the song more depth.
Generally, the process of writing a song is much different nowadays because usually songs will be created from a guitar, bass or keyboard riff, or a groove.

 Rock and Roll – What’s It All About? - Fifties Music
Perhaps, Presley’s song is credited as such because of Presley’s statue as “the King of Rock and Roll” and was the first artist to introduce rock and roll to mainstream America, but his song was not the first rock and roll song.
If you listen to these songs it is very obvious that any one of them could be the first rock and roll song, not only do they include the words “rock” and “roll” but they represent the true essence of rock and roll with the tempo, beats, and good times.
As you can see there are many different songs that could be considered the first true rock and roll song and perhaps there is no first one but a few very good ones that paved the way for rock and roll music and made it what it became and is today.

 Eunice Wilson - Queen of Song and Dance
Though feminine, she had an almost masculine approach to performing, she differed because on stage she was much more than a pretty girl, shaking, wearing sexy costumes to show off her figure.
She was a bit heavier and older but classier and glamorous and she still had the talent of singing a song to the heart that couldn't be resist.
If Eunice was around today, she'd be a superstar but because of partiality to fl performers in her time there were limits to how many could be superstars but Eunice star shined for many years.

 Behind the music: Northwestern Alma Mater and fight song, Historic Moments, Northwestern University
Clark, a professor of English at Northwestern from 1892 to 1911, was fond of Latin and Greek songs and wrote several himself, in addition to a number of tunes in English.
In 1912, as Van Etten and the other band members were performing a song of another college prior to a football game between Northwestern and Indiana in Bloomington, he decided that Northwestern should have a song of its own.
In 1940, Van Etten was made an honorary letterman and member of the N Men's Club for his melodic contribution to the University.

 Referenced Case
The strength of the plaintiff's case lies in the substantial identity of a sequence of eight notes in his song and theirs; and indeed, that hardly does justice to the similarity between the two, because the sequence reappears in each song so frequently as to constitute the greater part of each.
It is true that Gladys Crane swore that Silver had heard her sing the plaintiff's song in June, 1928, shortly after its composition, and that her mother somewhat dubiously corroborated her.
We are asked to disregard the judge's finding because from what he said at the trial, he seems to have supposed that anticipation invalidates a copyright.
