A woman in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, remembers a ditty she learned from her mother about "thirty purple birds," but with a distinctive pronunciation that sounds more like "Toidy poipel blackbirds / Sittin' on a coibstone / Choipin' and boipin' / And eatin' doity oithworms." Here's the Red Hot Chili Peppers version. This is part of a complete episode.
