I have always thought the bass line of Traffic's "The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys" sounded a lot like the call of a Mourning Dove. I have finally mashed that bird call into the main riff of the song, and then threw some other Mourning Dove sounds elsewhere into the track. The Mourning Dove sounds have been taken from Cornell University's All About Birds website and are used without permission. For more information about that bird and to see the full credits of the sample recordings, please visit https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Mourning_Dove/sounds . The pictures are also grabbed from various places on the internet and Traffic didn't grant me the rights to the song and I'm so horrible just watch the video.
