Feather

(Read only, anymore; sorry.)
Short version of rules
Without using a search engine to find one, write down at least eight words of a song containing the word (or the topic, if it's a general topic).
If it's the newest word, play once, and wait for another player to play before you go again.
On older words, you can play over and over without waiting!

I'm sticking to my guy
Like a stamp to a letter
Like birds of a feather
We stick together
"My Guy" (I know it better as "My God" from "Sister Act")
Didn't get much sleep
But we had a lot of fun
On Grandma's feather bed
John Denver
(off to play it on "bed" now)
Stuck a feather in his cap
And called it macaroni
Yankee Doodle
Birds of a feather
Can never be shown
That living alone can be fun
When two hearts are better than one.
(Jerome Kern/Johnny Mercer)
She is wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters
Suzanne
Leonard Cohen
Her name was Lola
she was a showgirl
with yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there...
---Barry Manilow
But the one little duck
with the feather on his back,
He led the others with his "Quack, quack, quack."
--Little kid song; maybe on "Captain Kangaroo"?
I loved that "quack quack quack' song!
=======================
Feathers fall around you and show you the way to go
Neil Young, "Birds"
French song, from memory, probably very mangled. (30 years since my last French class!)
Allouetta, gentille allouetta.
Allouetta, je ta plumerez.
Je ta plumerez ta tete . . .
Translation:
Lark, gentle lark;
Lark, I pluck your feathers.
I pluck the feathers from your head . . .
(This is in the horror genre of children's songs, like "when the bough breaks, the cradle will fall.")
A happier French song that mentions a feather (from memory and very rusty--see above):
Au claire de la luna,
Mon ami Pierot.
Prete-moi la pluma
Por ecrierre un mot.
Translation:
In the light of the moon,
My friend Pierot.
Loan me a feather (quill-pen)
to write a word (note).
Haven't a worry
Haven't a care
Feel like a feather
That's floating on air
"Fit as a Fiddle" from "Singin' in the Rain"
You were always sure of yourself
Now I see you've broken a feather
"Chiquitita" ABBA
And so what if I love each feather and each spangle.
Why not try to see things from a different angle?
I Am What I Am - Anthony Warlow, from La Cage Aux Folles
"Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she's the moon"
- Bon Iver
