Twistable Turnable Man

Biography:

Andrew Bird (born July 11, 1973) is an American musician. He was born in Lake Bluff, Illinois and resides in the Chicago area. Bird is a singer, a violinist and, since 2004, a guitarist. He is also an accomplished whistler.

His early work, which echoed gypsy jazz and traditional folk, has led into his current sound, which mixes rock with more broad compositions. His years of solo song-craft have now enabled him to produce a sound that is uniquely his own.

Or screw himself into a twenty-volt socket,

Or squeeze himself into a thimble or smaller,

And they have two twistable kids 

Who bend up the way that they did.

And they turn and they stretch 

Just as much as they can
