Why Do Birds Sing? is the fifth studio album by Violent Femmes, released on April 30, 1991. It was their last album with original drummer Victor DeLorenzo, who left two years later to devote his time to acting, and was produced by Michael Beinhorn, best-known then for his work with the Red Hot Chili Peppers on Mother's Milk and The Uplift Mofo Party Plan.
It featured the single "American Music," which received modest airplay on modern rock radio, and became a staple of the band's live shows.
All tracks written by Gordon Gano, except where noted.
