well...

Not me...
But I suspect that the person whose perspective inspired the song was an avid bird lover and so it was the perfect choice. Just as my true love knows that, if it were my song, I would need:
12 bottles of my favorite wine
11 Godiva truffles
10 passes to my favorite Indie theater
9 new pairs of perfect shoes
8 gift certificates for massage and facials
7 glossy, yummy lip balms
6 designer handbags
5 romantic weekends away in the new year
4 hundred dollars to purchase books
3 new dramatic lenses for my camera
2 exotic trips to other countries
and something beautiful and expensive from Tiffany's. :)

not that I am high maintenance or anything...
 

lol great post! I really hadn't thought of how many birds that was. wow that is alot! eeeekkk
 

I hear you loud and clear! I love misty's list and second her!!
I so don't want 23 birds to deal with!!!
 

How about I trade you my 5 golden rings for your 10 maids-a-milking? Never thought about how many dang birds this chick ends up getting.
 

I'm afraid of birds so I certainly wouldn't want 23 of them.
 

yr so freaking cute
we have to hang out sometime!
dude-geographical fate
 

yeah, what IS it with all the BIRDS in that song?
 

Yikes! You're right. I wouldn't want all that stuff. Except for the rings, maybe I could hock those off.
 

Last year, my chorale sang a song about the 12 gifts of Christmas....we sent back all but the 5 golden rings too. :)
