The Bird and the Worm by Owl City

Adam Young, the Minnesotan who records as Owl City, explained to Female First that this "is a little song about an incredibly romantic bird and worm and the idea of the world being FULL of friends, even under the sea. It's about relationships that are too good to be true."
The track features guest vocals from Relient K singer, Matt Thiessen. Young explained to the Twin Cities Daily Planet how he hooked up with Thiessen: "Matt and I hung out, went canoeing, ate at Applebee's, drove around Tennessee in his car, etc. I've been a Relient K fan for years, so needless to say it was incredibly surreal to work on music with him. He's an incredibly talented artist and the nicest guy in the world. He has an unbelievable talent for coming up with puns too."
