Am I the only one to think that panel 3 represents that age-old truth that a bird in the hand is safer than one overhead? Helping to explain Cueball's irritation, and the butterfly net.--[[Special:Contributions/173.245.48.24|173.245.48.24]] 06:04, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

:Someone did delete it all. I have no knowledge of Undertale, and though it far out when first mentioned above, but after reading the now deleted explanation, it seemed like a possible reference by Randall... Should it be deleted completely? Anyway, if anyone is interested in that part of the explanation, and do not care for SPOILERS, then read [http://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=1635:_Birdsong&oldid=110112 this version] from just before the deletion. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 13:09, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

::It is not a reference to Undertale. It is more than likely a case of pareidolia from the editor having played Undertale recently and remembering the scenario. The comic is clearly a reference to the Santana song as the lyrics fit perfectly and it makes sense with the joke, and that leaves no evidence to it being a reference to the video game.

Does anyone else wonder if this is a shout out to the comic that ended the main run of "A Softer World"?  It starts out as "The sun is shining/and the birds are singing"...{{unsigned ip|108.162.216.42}}

My initial take was that Cueball thought "Holy crap, a bird that actually sings with words! That would be crazy valuable! I gotta go get it! Being rich will make me happier than I just was!" :) The fact that they're singing different songs makes the explanation's interpretation seem more likely, that he wants to recapture his idyllic conditions, but I think my interpretation is worth noting. - NiceGuy1 [[Special:Contributions/198.41.235.215|198.41.235.215]] 04:55, 20 February 2016 (UTC) I finally signed up!
