"Whats the word? THUNDERBIRD! How's its sold? GOOD AND COLD!"

@letsdriveanindianpath9785 Год назад

This is classified as a novelty song. Such songs were meant to be fun. Usually, they are making light of something. In this case, it was a style of music from the late 1950s and early 1960s. A number of novelty songs focused on horror movies popular at the time. "Purple People Eater" is an example. "They're Coming to Take Me Away" sung by a madman was popular in 1966. In the 1970s, people on dares would take off all their clothes and run through public areas. That resulted in the novelty song "The Streak." Again, all in fun.

This was actually a mash up of two songs by The Rivingtons, Doin' the Bird (which was a new dance being introduced) and Papa Oo Mau Mau. The Surfin' part of it was to take advantage surf music's popularity at that time. The trashman were actually a pretty talented local band out of Minneapolis. Most of their stuff included covers with a lot of harmony.

@RobertERensch Год назад

I loved the originals, especially Papa Oo Mau Mau. The Cramps did a version of Surfin’ Bird that sounds like they played with the vocal tape speed for the key changes. Kind of odd… ✌️

This very early punk rock. Proto-punk, lol. They were also surf rock, garage rock. '60s band. This song has been all over TV shows and movies. "Bird Dance Beat" was another good one from them and sounds almost like this one with Beach Boys vibes. "Bird 65", Malaguena", "Peppermint Man", "Bad News" also. Shoeshiners you could still find them at airports, military bases. or streets of poorer countries. Haven't yall heard? That the bird is the word!

Let me break it down further for those who are mentally inept. The B-52's sing a song called "Rock Lobster" and while the lyrics are gibberish, the delivery of those lyrics are awesome and in parts of the song rally the troops to fight again. Some of you havent even ran 3 miles straight. Let me tell you. Music is a luxury... without music you get stuck with the voices in your head.

@top40researcher31 Год назад

The Rivingtons followed up their 1963 Billboard Hot 100 hit "Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow" with the similar "The Bird's the Word" in 1963. The Trashmen had not heard this version but saw a band called the Sorensen Brothers playing it. They decided to play the song that night at their own gig. During this first performance, drummer and vocalist Steve Wahrer stopped playing and ad-libbed the "Surfin' Bird" middle section. Despite not knowing "The Bird's the Word" was a Rivingtons song, the similarity to "Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow" was obvious and the Trashmen added the chorus to the end of their new track. A local disc jockey, Bill Diehl, was at the gig and convinced the band to record the track. It was recorded at Kay Bank Studios in Minneapolis. Diehl entered it into a local battle of the bands competition and it won. It was then sent to a battle of the bands competition in Chicago where it also won. This led to the group being signed to Garrett Records with the single being quickly released. It reportedly sold 30,000 copies in its first weekend before going on to national success, reaching No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. Wahrer was originally credited as the song's writer, but that was changed to The Rivingtons (Al Frazier, Carl White, Sonny Harris, and Turner Wilson Jr.) after the group threatened to sue The Trashmen for plagiarism.

There was a transition period in music at the end of the 1950s. Elvis in the army, Berry in jail...there seemed to be a conspiracy to kill rock n roll by the establishment. There came a glut of Bobby singers. Bobby Rydell, Bobby Curtola, Bobby Darrin, Bobby Vinton, Bobby Vee. They all sang sanitized rock songs. Pat Boone took standards like " Tutti Frutti " and homogenized them for the white milk market. Then, there came the " novelty songs " of the sixties. Alley Oop, Polka Dot Bikini, Mr. Custer, Chewing Gum lose it's Flavor, ad nauseum. Into this mixture of puerile nonsense, a group from Liverpool arrived and restored a focus on good music. That's the facts.

@peterwijnand6031 Год назад

Nobody has commented on the fact that that the song switched to a performance by Andre van Duin at about 1.15 minutes in. He was in a television program 'nieuwe oogst' (new harvest) which tried to discover new talent in the netherlands. His act was miming to a tape, that's why he was known as a tapeparodist in his early career. He was in fact parodying the previous song!

@thomastimlin1724 Год назад

Ray Stevens also released a sincere sweet song in 1970 - Everything is Beautiful. Bobby Pickett released a novelty song in October 1964 - "The Monster Mash". Others: Snoopy vs the Red Baron, Little Nash Rambler, Hot Rod Lincoln

@PorscheRacer14 Год назад

This song also had some resurgence in the late 70's and early 80's from being in the Apocolypse Now movie. And then had more popularity in culture by being featured in the Battlefield: Vietnam video game in the early 2000s by switching radio stations in the Jeep.

@inexplicablyleft2729 Год назад

Although the song looks silly, its lasting appeal is not from the silliness. It's from the rhythm and the rawness of the sound. It helped mark the end of doo-wop and to keep rock rooted. Y'all also need to check out The Sonics, and their garage rock, proto-punk sound. My favorite of theirs is Have Love Will Travel, but I may be in a minority. BTW: These are covers, with serious additions for a different genre. Y'all also need to check out The Rivington's original version, along with Richard Berry's original versions of Louie, Louie and Have Love Will Travel.

@kevinvegas1916 Год назад

🏄‍♂️ Everybody knows that the bird is the word!

@souptec Год назад

From Pop Culture Dictionary..."In their 1963 single “Surfin’ Bird,” surf-rock garage band The Trashmen sing repeatedly: “A well a don’t you know about the bird? Well, everybody knows that the bird is the word! A well a bird, bird, b-bird’s the word.” The song was inspired by two contemporary songs by the doo-wop group The Rivingtons: “Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow” and “Bird is the Word.” The bird refers to a dance craze in the 1960s. The Trashmen noticed the two songs sounded alike, so they mashed them together in a live performance. A DJ at the show brought them into the studio to record the mashup under the title “Surfin’ Bird.” While The Trashmen’s inspiration for “Surfin’ Bird” is well-documented, the exact origin and meaning of the saying bird is the word is less clear. Bird has carried many slang connotations throughout its history, from “prostitute” to “the middle finger.” In the context of the song, and in subsequent contexts, bird is the word characterizes something as good, cool, or new and revolutionary."

Back in the day, suits were worn by most people, it was unusual to see a woman out and about without a hat and gloves. My grandmother wore a corset under a neat suit, a hat, gloves and a fox fur. Do some research on vintage Vogue sewing patterns... or old catalogues. In the 50's it was the rebels who started wearing less formal clothing in public, the older generation were not at all approving of that. See the video for The Shangri-las, "Leader of the Pack." There is an early Debbie Renyolds and Jane Powell, movie called "Two weeks with Love" about fashion among other things.

@davidlucio7151 Год назад

You're right. There's an episode in the I Love Lucy Show where Lucy is bored an tries to convince Ethel that they should go out to town and do something. Ethel tells Lucy she doesn't have anything to wear because she hasn't done the laundry. Lucy tells Ethel to just go dressed as she is... to which Ethel replies that she would never be caught wearing jeans in public and what would people think of her looking dressed like that in public! In most of the 50's and early 60's, the older generation - like you said - wore formal wear and so did the young adults too; but it was the teenagers that wore informal clothes like jeans an so, that reflected the era of music like Rock and Roll and it's influence.

That guy who did The Bird there on the stage was Steve Wahrer. He died in 1989 from throat cancer. Considering he must have had mutated throat nodules to sound like that, and that he must have done that remarkable song and dance routine thousands of times over the years, I'm not surprised it eventually took him out. He gave his all, to bring The Bird to us. Thank you, Steve - and thank you, Brad and Lex, for reacting to it.

I met the lead guitarist a few years ago. He's a great guy

Lol...Watching your faces throughout that whole song was priceless "Like, how are we suppose to react to this?"

I crack up every time I see this. My Grandson said Poppa what is wrong with him. Classic

There were sub subcultures within subcultures . Like the punk movement had all kind of bands. There were punk bands like the cramps that went their own way. Most were very fun live. Some I would only like live. Like fishbone. Live was a wild experience. The records just never captured them at all. I was only giving an example from other subcultures.

I remember my big brothers spit shine their shoes to a high gloss finish just to go to high school class… shoes with metal taps

This was my great niece’s favorite song when she was little. We’d listen to it over and over nearly every day.

Pre summer of love 60s people wore suits all the time and shinned their shoes all the time as well. I used to shine mine before I wnet out, every time, especially Friday and Saturday nights and always to go to church on Sunday (no one would even consider going to church if they weren't dressed up).
