1. A kickass song by Lynyrd Skynyrd that features some great slide guitar and a five minute guitar solo.

2. The tradition of shouting this song as a request when attending a concert, regardless of whether the performer is a musician or not. This tradition is mostly carried on by idiots who don't even know what they're yelling or why.

(Note: do not utter this phrase in the presence of Bill Hicks.)
Free bird. And in the beginning there was the word "Free bird" and "Free bird" would be yelled throughout the centuries. "Free bird", the mantra of the moron! "Free bird", "Free bird", "Free bird", "Free bird". If we keep yelling this, one day we'll be funny. Keep doing it. "Free bird", "Free bird", "Free bird", "Free bird". We will sit at the feet of Kevin Matthews. "Free bird", "Free bird", "Free bird".

Get the free bird mug.
Short for synthesizer, a synth is a keyboard-type intstrument that can be programmed to play any type of sound imaginable. Most commonly, synths are programmed to sound like electronic keyboards. Used properly, as by Pete Townsend or Rich Wright synths can be pleasing and add depth to a song. However, used improperly, synths can make a song sound cheesy, for example, like in much eighties music.
1. Baba O' Riley's probably the best song ever! The synth melody is awesome!
2. Did you hear "The Final Countdown" by Europe? Those synths made me want to throw up!
