Sing, Little Birdie, was the first song husband and wife duo, Pearl Carr & Teddy Johnson sang together. It was the United Kingdom's entry into the 1959 Eurovision Song Contest, finishing 2nd.

The song was perhaps most famously the answer to a trivia question posed on a sketch called "World Forum" from Monty Python's Flying Circus, Episode 25. Mao Zedong provided the winning answer, beating out fellow panelists Che Guevera, Lenin, and Karl Marx.
