Jackie Lee?

X XANTUS' HUMMINGBIRD - "Listen to the hummingbird" is a Leonard Cohen song - he doesn't specify which type, so it could include this one. Similarly the Leon Russell song "Hummingbird" , which has been covered by a variety of well-known musicians. This particular type of hummingbird is based in Mexico and was identifed as a separate species by the Hungarian zoologist John Xantus de Vesey.

Think you are right with Jackie Lee, Mike.
Impressed you got an X, I was struggling with that one. Leonard Cohen someone not to listen too if you are already feeling down.

Y Yertel the TURTLE - Red Hot Chilli Peppers, though I think Dr Seuss should have some credit

Saw Albert y Los Trios Paranoias live doing a Leonard Cohen "tribute" song - "Gloom from a room". Very funny 
Don't know if it is on any of their albums

Alternative Y- YAKety Sax by Boots Randolf. UK hit in 1963, and later used as Benny Hill tv show theme music. There are plenty of other versions too.

Z ZEBRA - John Butler Trio. Bluesy foot-tapper from the Australian rock band. Nice to hear a bit of slide guitar - quite like it. Clip on YouTube
