Cover art for Oh No lyrics by Andrew Bird

Sort of a follow up on what iamnotmozart said:

Bird was on a plane, and behind him was a little boy just saying "Oh.. No.." and his mom said "It's okay! We're just going home!" but the kid just kept saying "Oh... No.."

I was just at a show where he tied in this song with Effigy, and he described both as perspectives of the "man at the bar making unsolicited comments and making everyone uncomfortable." I think the baby on a plane thing is sweet, though-- just goes to show how many meanings and interpretations can exist in a single song.

We may have been at the same show! Did you see him in Lawrence? Anyway, yeah, I agree about songs having so many meanings. Also, everyone has their own way of interpreting lyrics so there could be a billion different interpretations and none of them could be what the artist was writing about.
