}}'''Listen to the Mockingbird''' is a Barney song that first appeared in "[[Barney's Sense-Sational Day]]". Although the tune is the same as the original song, the lyrics change from being about a man longing for his deceased girlfriend (who is buried with the mockingbird) to the sweet sounds from a mockingbird. An underscore of this song is played in "[[Five Kinds of Fun!]]".
