"Bird Gets the Worm" is a composition by alto saxophonist Charlie "Bird" Parker. Like many of Parker's compositions, this tune features an original melody composed by Parker, superimposed over the chord changes from a popular tune: in this case "Lover Come Back to Me". Parker only made one recording of this song, which was at 340 beats per minute, making one of his fastest recordings. [ citation needed ]
