Upbeat/Sad, or, "I got yer tweet tweet right here!"

So apparently it may be the case that the lovely sounds of spring are in fact fine feathered gears of war. I am so grateful to mother nature for this real life tableau.
Harmonious bird songs may sound pleasant to people, but a new study has found that at least some birds fight by singing, using melodic tweets to defend their relationships and territories.
I honestly didn't even read this whole article. I don't want to know which kinds of birds it is about. I want, for the rest of my life, to imagine that the beautiful exchange between these hollow-boned little idiots is actually a volley of insults.

I like any and all expressions whose method of delivery is totally antithetical to their import. Funny jokes about the deceased at a funeral. Upbeat songs about death. Brightly colored paintings about brutal murders.

I don't know, if anyone even reads this and can think of other examples, post them! Meanwhile listen to the lyrics to Hey Ya.
We get together
Ohh, we get together
But seperate's always better when there's feelings involved
If what they say is "Nothing is forever"
Then what makes, Then what makes, Then what makes
Then what makes, Then what makes LOVE THE EXCEPTION?
So why oh why oh
Why oh why oh why oh
Are we so in denial
When we know we're not happy heeeerrreeee...
Y'all don't wanna read my blog you just wanna dance. I'm just being honest.
