Aerial Ballet is the third studio album by American musician Harry Nilsson, released in July 1968.
Aerial Ballet was Nilsson's second album for RCA Victor, and was titled after the highwire circus act of his grandparents.
[citation needed] The original opening number for Aerial Ballet was "Daddy's Song", but this track was removed (apparently without Nilsson's awareness) after the first copies were issued, because The Monkees had recorded a cover version to be featured in their film Head, and had paid $35,000 for exclusive rights to the song.
Recent reissues restore "Daddy's Song" (with the Monkees' contract long expired) to its rightful place in the lineup.
It had a printed stamp in the upper right corner announcing "Grammy Award Winner, Best Contemporary Male Vocalist, Everybody's Talkin'".
