 Michael Jackson - Rockin' Robin LIVE with the Jackson 5

He rocks in the tree top all the day long
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and singing his song
All the little birds down Jaybird Street
Love to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet

Chorus:
Rockin' robin, tweet! Tweet! Tweet!
Rockin' robin, tweet! Tweet! Tweet!
Go rockin' robin
'Cause we're really gonna rock tonight

Every little swallow, every chick-a-dee
Every little bird in the tall oak tree
The wise old owl, the big black crow
FLAPPIN' THEIR WINGS singin' go bird go!

Okay, so my wife likes this. (And she likes very few of my images!) She said it looks like an angel. I think it's more of a phoenix image. In light of MJ's death, either might be an implied analogy, which I hope strikes a resonant chord. It's also a crucifixus image, but that's a bridge too far.

This is an image of a Mountain Bluebird, which is a member of the thrush family. A cousin of the American Robin... also a thrush.

Oh, well! I don't do this kind of artistic filter stuff very often. And, it usually crashes and burns, when I do. We'll see if this gets any positive reaction. (I think, NOT!")

This is a cover of a song by Bobby Day back in 1958. Lyrics by Michael Jackson?

The only thing that disappoints me about this is the title. The image is fabulous and radiates such a glorious, spiritual feeling... I hated scrolling down and seeing "Rockin' Robin"...

Very cool use of blur! Not sure about the color, but I love the composition and impact.
