Blue-winged Warblers sing a raspy bee-buzz that sounds like an inhale (bee) and an exhale (buzz). Males also sing a longer high-pitched buzz with twittering notes at the start and finish. The primary song acts to acquire a mate, while the secondary song acts to defend territories against rival males. They typically sing the primary song from exposed branches in tall trees or shrubs at the edge of fields and the alternate song from lower down.
"Let's Buzz" is a song from the 1987 slasher film Slumber Party Massacre II. It features Driller Killer as he breaks into a flamboyant rockabilly number before murdering a group of teenagers.
An artist or label could offer fans a much smaller share of a song than 50% for public trading, as even a five- or 10-percent share of a major hit could generate much heat on a music stock exchange, some say.
While they may have had flirtations with major labels in the post-Nirvana grunge boom of the early 90s, Buzz has no regrets on how his career has shaped up. "I'm very happy with what I've got, rather than what I've should have gotten," the singer explains. With 26 albums under their belt, there's no shortage of material for Buzz to pick from when it comes to telling their incredible story, but these are the 10 songs he feels tell it best. "I think if you combine all these things together and play these 10 tracks, you get a good sense of where we're coming from."
I actually remember exactly where I was when I wrote that song; it was the early 90s in San Francisco. I was staring at the fish tank on the edge of my bed listening to music, and the riff just popped straight into my head. I used to record them onto this casette deck and I knew right away it was a great riff. More recently, Rolling Stone named it number 46 on the Greatest Metal Songs of all time, so that's pretty interesting - I mean, I didn't know Rolling Stone still listened to music!"
We took on that song and wanted to cover it, played it a lot for a long time, and it became a fun song to play. Part of their problem, without knowing, is that their singer could be a bit... wacky, to put it politely, and nobody knew how to deal with that. Nevertheless, those records are incredibly important to me. "
"We've actually done a new version of Halo Of Flies on our acoustic album, Five Legged Dog. What actually got Jello interested in us in the first place was seeing us live, because before that he didn't like us, but then we did a cover of Halo Of Flies live and he couldn't believe it, like, 'the fact you even played the whole song!', because it's a really complicated song to play.
The first five or six Alice Cooper records are among my favourite rock music ever made, and that song in particular was one of their best. They're highly sophisticated musically, very clever, but its just wonderful music. As a kid at 12, I was intrigued by that whole scary outlook, but it wouldn't have made an impact like it did if they didn't have the songs, and thankfully they did. Plus they drove a steak through the heart of the peace and love generation. He's a hate hippy!
When we were figuring out what songs to do on the acoustic record, it was like 'we should do Halo Of Flies' and I think it came out really, really good. Now I wanna play an acoustic version of it live!"
"Blood Witch was a super complicated song, it might even be my favourite song on (A) Senile Animal. I was very happy those guys were able to play it, because it took a long time to figure out the odd time signatures and odd things we had the drummers [Dale Crover and Coady Willis] doing. It came out really good and we got to play it live, but I think that's my proudest moment on that record."
"Civilised Worm was an interesting one, because it got this reaction from Jared [Warren, Big Business vocalist who was then recording bass and guitars with Melvins] that no other song got. We took it to him and he was like 'that's a really good song!', real excited. There's odd time signatures again and the music under the vocals are really weird to play, like it feels like it shouldn't work but it does.
It came out great. I loved everything about that song, and we played it on tour a couple years back. It's an odd rock song, if I had to describe it. I grew up isolated in a very small town with nobody showing me music, so when I discovered punk music I never knew that liking the Damned, Sex Pistols and The Clash alongside Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones was a bad idea! We've never lost that."
"We Are Doomed is an odd arrangement - it'd definitely be in the top ten songs I've ever written. I really like the lyrics, they're very self depreciative, which is fun. I don't know if people really noticed this song, but I really did and it was a big deal for me at the time. I think it's a sad song in many ways too."
Most people don't even realise it's a Stones song, because it's not a big hit. But I think personally, Sticky Fingers is one of the best rock records ever made - there's no duds and it's got a tonne of dynamics on the whole thing. That song on the mid-tempo, it's kind of sad too about horrible stuff happening to people. 'Demon Life, got you in its sway' you know? I love the Stones; if you don't like that record, you just don't like rock music! Open your mind."
"We played Never Say You're Sorry before Bad Mood Rising had even come out and it went over really well. It's a great song and I can see it being in our sets for a long time. There are odd tunings, and me and Steven did demos for all of that before we recorded it, which is odd because we don't usually do that. I really like the way it came out, and it was a really challenging vocal part, especially live, which felt pretty good. I really like the guitar solo too, which has an excessive amount of wah wah on."
Species that flock often call back and forth while in flight; this is a good way to detect clouds of blackbirds, waxwings, siskins, or bluebirds passing overhead. Flocks of shorebirds also may be vocal in the air. But many less-social species also have distinctive flight calls that are quite different from their usual calls. During spring and fall, most songbirds migrate at night; if you listen closely, you can hear their various chirps drifting down from the dark sky.

Christmas music is part of holiday business for retailers. After all, the songs include dozens of classics that most people have heard every winter for their entire lives. Sentimental, sure, but also a tactic to get people to spend more money in stores.
The states have a variety of favorite Christmas tunes. Of the 25 Christmas songs evaluated from last year's Christmas Billboard Hot 100, 21 different songs were most popular in at least one U.S. state.
Eric Church recently announced that his fourth single from Mr. Misunderstood would be "Round Here Buzz." A song about a man stuck in his hometown as his ex goes off to chase her dreams, "Round Here Buzz" was co-written by Church, Jeff Hyde and Luke Dick and produced by Jay Joyce.
"I think it's funny that Luke came by to make sure we weren't messing up the song," Church remembers with a laugh. "I fully feel like he left thinking we had messed up the song. [That look of] panic, it was more panic than concern."
