"Sprinkle Your Bird" is the second single off the Guaraldi Double Soundtrack album for "It's Arbor Day Charlie Brown" and "Charlie Brown's All Stars." This dynamic Latin tune by the Vince Guaraldi Trio stands out from the rest of the music in the score. Vince Guaraldi was heavily influenced by Brazilian music, and it shows here. Seward McCain lays down a killer bass groove and drummer, Jim Zimmerman, plays a cool rhythm with the side of his drum stick on the snare.

This version, from 1976's "Arbor Day" animated specials, is another wonderful composition and performance that brings the feelings that only Guaraldi can manifest. This was the background song for when Snoopy and Woodstock are planting seeds.

A special baseball and glove-shaped 45 RPM variants of the soundtracks will be exclusively part of the 2026 RECORD STORE DAY CELEBRATION on April 18, 2026.
