"Sing, Little Birdie" is the title of the 1959 UK Eurovision entrant which took second place at Eurovision 1959. Performed by husband-and-wife duo Pearl Carr & Teddy Johnson, "Sing, Little Birdie" was the first UK Eurovision entrant to be recorded reaching #12 UK.  At the finals for Eurovision 1959, held at Cannes on March 11, 1959, "Sing, Little Birdie" finished in second place.

"Sing, Little Birdie"'s most lasting claim to fame is possible the fact that it was the answer to a trivia question posed on a sketch called World Forum from Monty Python's Flying Circus, Episode 25. Mao Zedong provided the winning answer, beating out fellow panelists Che Guevara, Vladimir Lenin, and Karl Marx. However, in that episode, the song was incorrectly referred to as the winning song (the winning song being Een beetje by Teddy Scholten).
