The song was written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon–McCartney. Paul McCartney stated that he helped on the lyrics and attributed the song "80–20" to Lennon.{{sfn|MacDonald|2003|p=199}} The working title was "You Don't Get Me". The song is notable for its extended dual-guitar melody, played by George Harrison and Paul McCartney. Lennon was later dismissive of the track, as he was of many of his compositions at the time, referring to it as "another of my throwaways ... fancy paper around an empty box".[3] Composition and recordingThe song contains an extended harmony-lead guitar melody, played by George Harrison and Paul McCartney.{{sfn|Everett|1999|p=46}} This type of pop-rock arrangement was still in its infancy in 1966; it would later be popularised by southern rock bands such as the Allman Brothers Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd, as well as hard rock and metal bands such as Thin Lizzy, Boston and Iron Maiden.[4] A version of the track featuring Harrison on his Rickenbacker 360/12 12-string electric guitar was recorded on 20 April 1966 but was scrapped; the group recorded the regular, released version on 26 April.[5] The rejected version, heard on the Anthology 2 album, features a vocal track on which Lennon and McCartney are giggling hysterically. The Anthology liner notes state that the tapes do not indicate the source of the laughter. LyricsA few incidents have been suggested as inspirations for the song's cryptic lyrics, which recall in tone those of "She Said She Said":
ReceptionIn 2006, Mojo placed "And Your Bird Can Sing" at number 41 on its list of "The 101 Greatest Beatles Songs". In his commentary on the track, English academic Toby Litt identified it as "the birth of all powerpop, from Big Star through Cheap Trick to Fountains of Wayne" and the inspiration for other artists that "use jangle to attack". While recognising the song's Indian drone quality and the raga influence in the guitar melody, he said that the riff was perhaps "the most baroque that pop music ever came up with", adding: "Slow it down and it could be a Bach chorale."[8] In October 2008, Guitar World magazine ranked Harrison's playing on the song at number 69 on its list of the "100 Greatest Guitar Solos".[9] In his 50th anniversary review for Revolver, Steve Marinucci of Billboard described "And Your Bird Can Sing" as "an incredibly ambitious song, highlighted by a superb guitar solo by George Harrison."[10] Thomas Ward of AllMusic describes the song as one of the finest on Revolver.[11] He writes that although Lennon was indifferent of the song and that the lyric is "probably nonsense," it's "wildly entertaining" and compliments the vocal performances.[11] Ward further praises Harrison's guitar playing, the "lovely" melody, and the "unorthodox, yet ingenious bridge."[11] He concludes his review by writing, "it's certainly one of the most successful songs on one of popular music’s great albums."[11] Rob Sheiffeild of Rolling Stone writes that despite Lennon's dislike of it, the song is "one of his best songs ever," describing it as "scathing...yet also empathetic and friendly."[12] Legacy"And Your Bird Can Sing" was used as the theme song of the Beatles' cartoon series during its third season. The song is playable in the music video game Rock Band. Personnel

The Flamin' Groovies recorded it as a demo for their never-finished fourth Sire LP, eventually released on "The Gold Star Tapes" (1984). R. Stevie Moore recorded both instrumental and later vocal versions of the song, each cover self-released. The Jam covered the song as a B-side. The Georgia-based band Guadalcanal Diary also covered the song, released as a CD bonus track on their 1987 album 2X4. Jack Black used its opening riff for inspiration in a fight against Satan at each show of the Tenacious D 2006–2007 Tour. Les Fradkin has a snappy instrumental version on his 2005 CD "While My Guitar Only Plays". Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs covered the song for their 2006 collaboration Under the Covers, Vol. 1. In 2009, Chicago-based Chiptune / NES-Rock band I Fight Dragons released a cover as an MP3 download to subscribers of their mailing list. Helmet released their version of the track on their 2010 album Seeing Eye Dog. Swedish rock group Gyllene Tider recorded a Swedish version titled Och jorden den är rund (And the Earth is round) on an EP which was included with their album Moderna Tider from 1981.
