Birdland is a song about the Birdland nightclub on Sesame Street. Performed with Hoots the Owl and his band, Olivia sings about the only place where an "owl lets his saxophone howl", the place where "birds of a feather (are) jammin' together." The song is also a call-and-response style tune as Olivia has the patrons of Birdland shout out the titular place whenever she mentions it.
