Forster" in order to circumvent the rule that ASCAP and BMI composers could not collaborate. The title refers to Charlie "Bird" Parker and the Birdland jazz club named after him. The song has been recorded by many vocal and instrumental performers, including Ella Fitzgerald (1954 chart record), Sarah Vaughan, Chaka Khan, Mel Torme, pianist Friedrich Gulda, Korean singer Insooni, Finnish singer Olavi Virta (in Finnish) and Italian singer Mina.

"Manha de Carnaval" ("Morning of Carnival"), is the title of the most popular song by Brazilian composers Luiz Bonfa and Antonio Maria. It appeared in the 1959 Portuguese-language film Orfeu Negro (Black Orpheus), by French director Marcel Camus and based on a play by Vinicius de Moraes. Particularly in the USA, the song is considered to be one of the most important Brazilian Jazz/Bossa songs that helped establish the Bossa Nova movement in the late 1950s. Manha de Carnaval has become a jazz standard in the USA, while it is still performed regularly by a wide variety of musicians around the world in its vocalized version or just as an instrumental one. Carl Sigman later wrote a different set of English lyrics titled "A Day in the Life of a Fool"), which has been among the top ten standards played worldwide, according to The Guinness Book of World Records.
In the USA, the song is also known as "A Day in the Life of a Fool" and "Carnival." In France, the song is also known as "La Chanson D'Orphee." The song is also known by the Spanish title "Manana de Carnaval". All versions of foreign texts were written by different people using Bonfa's original music.
