My opinion:

Song Sparrow

{http://www.mbr-pwrc.usgs.gov/id/songwav.html} (not the best example, but
there are plenty others out on the internet)

The "sweet sweet" beginning of the song sparrow's song (see Sibley's or
Peterson's field guides) coincides with the first two notes of Inna Gadda da
Vida......the initial bass part. Then the sparrow riffs off into a trill
that, depending on the individual song sparrow, and with a lot of
imagination, really might bring to mind the "garden of eden".

My musician son agrees with me, so, rock on, birders!
