The first time I heard this song, I thought it was sung by a black singer.

Sol Cutta - 6 years ago

So ahead of its time.. Who would have known that in the 80s this would become the sound of psychobilly and known by any scooter boy in Britain.. Excellent.. Amazing.. Brilliant.. Awesome.. And all those kinda words..

AS you can see in this video only one member of the group is performing. From what I read the tight folks at Bandstand would only spring for one roundtrip ticket from Minneapolis. Consequently the rest of the band only got watch this on TV.

This is quite weird but cool song and I remember it since I was a kid. I thing it has been a very hard to "sing" or show or what ever using playback techniques.

aspenrebel - 8 years ago

I can't believe I thought of this song AND found it. I was watching a ventriloquist with a bird dummy. I started thinking "bird, bird, bird......", then recalling some song that did that for lyrics in a song. So I can't believe I found this. I haven't heard this in ages!!!! Wow!! This is great stuff!!!

I like the part of Dick Clark's interview where he asks the guy about the origins of the song and the band name and the Trash man stated "we came up with it while looking through a stack of records". It's so awesome that the guy could look 50 years in the future and make sure he told the truth about the Rivingtons and their song...'Bird is the Word". The Youtube time machine strikes again.

Greg Wallace - 9 years ago

I'm reading Tim Riley's biography of John Lennon and he writes about these strange groups from the early to mid 60's: The Trashmen, The Troggs, Sam The Sham etc... so I had to check them out on YouTube. I've heard these records many times before and thought they were weird and they are in a strangely enchanting way. This is perhaps the strangest of the bunch.

611sheep - 9 years ago

"...and we, the four of of us in the group, did write the song."

No, you arranged it. The Rivingtons wrote both the songs you used, just fyi.

Still a good arrangement though

Hey "Hairy Testicles", quit licking your own balls,which are probably as white and smooth as your pompous moral bullshit. Wow, they stole this three chord gem and made a couple hundred bucks, damn them all to hell!! It was the '50s,everybody stole from everybody, and sometimes for the better. I would much rather hear Elvis rip out " Hound Dog" than that fat old bag Big Mama Thornton(who probably stole the song from somebody else;I mean come ON its not a lyric marvel,just another shitty 2 -line blues that everyone genuflects to because it was "po'ol Nigra sharecroppers song", or some bullshit.." Go listen to Kanye West, you are clearly way too sophisticated for this hoi polloi bunch. Or better yet, just go fuck yourself and GOOGLE all the bands who stole this...composition and made LOADs of cash of it.

When I was a kid living in (or is that on?) Staten Island, I'll never forget the first time I heard "Surfin' Bird," which was one of those few teen hits so demented and frantic that my mother wasn't sure what the hell it was, but I loved it, still do. Nobody really makes genuine novelty numbers anymore, but back in 1963 they were everywhere though few became million-sellers like this one did, and on a small Minnesota label. As for ripping off the Rivingtons...so what? Back then we knew who they were, and we dug their stuff, too, and as for 'stealing from blacks,' well...as Ringo once said, 'everybody nicks from somebody' or something like that, and it's true. Unless you believe the Platters invented their kind of ballad-pop, or the Flamingos' "I Only Have Eyes For You" was written and produced by blacks. Color should be a non-issue when it comes to music, there are too many cooks involved in the making of every stew to pick it to pieces. Either you dig the music or you don't; personally, I adhere to the 'steak to the plate' philosophy: if I love it I don't care where it came from or what was done to get it to me (beyond personal interest, that is). It either works for you or it doesn't.

Adam Kraker - 10 years ago

'F' Family Guy! I was born and raised in Minneapolis (hometown of the Trashmen) and we had this record. I was in first grade, 1963, and was nuts about it! The Trashmen recorded on the 'Garrett' record label. If you have one of the original 45's it says Minneapolis, MN right on it. It ranked number 4 on the Billboard 100. Very popular. I understand it is still a major hit in Brazil for some reason. Then the new year came along and in February 1964, on Ed Sullivan, came the Beatles and the British Invasion. Everything changed and hair just kept getting longer until Disco, Rap and Hip Hop ruined everything. Anyway, we had another local band called the Castaways and in 1965 they did a song called 'Liar, Liar'. It was recorded on the 'Soma' record label which was started by a guy named 'Amos' something or other and he just spelled his name backwards. That 45 also say Minneapolis, MN on it. You know "Liar, Liar Pants On Fire'. It was big enough to make Hollywood and was done in some of those 1960's beach movies. Very popular, ranked number 12 on the Billboard 100. Debra Harry of 'Blondie' did a version of it years later. Both The Trashmen and The Castaways recorded in Minneapolis and their records were done on local labels and were pressed in Minneapolis. Total LOCAL packages that went national. That doesn't happen anymore. There is no such thing as regional record companies anymore. It's totally Corporate and pre-packaged now which is why everything sounds the same and we're still hammered with the same Rap and Hip Hop crap we've been listening to for over ten years.

Matt2047 - 10 years ago

+mrob75 I agree with everything your saying, I guess this guy's just looking for a fight lol. The blacks greatly influenced rock'n'roll but I would say that towards 1959 or possibly as early as 1957, that Rock'n'roll was probably no longer considered black music since there were so many whites impacting the genre. Lol just look at the 60s (1960-1966, I mean) rock'n'roll pretty much became white music.

mrob75 - 10 years ago

Oh, come on now, LOL...that argument of "whites copying blacks but couldn't" is purely subjective on your part. MANY, MANY white artists patterning themselves after black artists and adding their own country flavor to music is timeless...Ever heard of a man named "Elvis"?

crazydaysful - 10 years ago

+mrob75 you replied to commentor named Cagadotar that they wrote a very informative post....Well it still does not negate the fact that country accent which is southern accent, blues, rock and roll which is also rock ..was purely and only invented by black americans and the whites copied trying to sound like the blacks but could not and they have their version of our music. So cut the crap out and accept the facts.

mrob75 - 10 years ago

That is true...Very informative post!

cagadotar - 10 years ago

+mrob75 what we know as country today came from country blues. Poor whites worked along side poor blacks who were playing blues. White artists were often playing the same songs. Take a look at Dick Justice and Luke Jordan for a prime example of this situation. They were both coal miners who worked together and played together in the mine camps. Luke Jordan taught Dick Justice to play Cocaine Blues, which went on to be his most famous song.

The iconic banjo of (predominantly white) bluegrass music actually has roots in Africa. Slaves would fashion banjos after the traditional African instrument using what they had on hand.

ratsassy - 10 years ago

Here is a copy from Wikipedia for all you whiners. You people sound so immature. It's a great song, no matter who wrote it.: 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[2] before going on to national success, reaching #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 successfully sued The Trashmen for plagiarism

mrob75 - 10 years ago

Oh, boy...Just when I heard it all...Blacks invented "country"....LMBOFF! :--)

crazydaysful - 10 years ago

+mrob75 The Country accent was invented by the slaves in the beginning of this country - that country way of talking is the way the slaves would sound -- slavery was in the South and that's why the south speaks "country" and the white slave owners started to sound like the slaves because they were so intertwined with the slaves - and that's where the whites got that accent from. Rock and Roll is all black music and invented by black people. You all know this, and I'm not going to respond to your lying bullshit comments anymore on trying to exalt white people no matter what.

mrob75 - 10 years ago

Oh, come on now, your claim is outrageous. You are discounting white country music in your thinking....Rock and Roll was a combination of music...Not necessarily all black.

crazydaysful - 10 years ago

+mrob75 you are a fool and a liar. White people have always enjoyed and copied our music since the days of slavery - black music is no less than 95% of the music that was invented by America. White peoples style of singing (other than where the first whites were from which is England) their style of songs were based on black america's style - the only thing is the Whites cannot sing or sound like the blacks so they made the watered-down versions. You whites should be thankful that black americans created awesome music that you copied and enjoyed instead of your own.

You said a mouthful so I will outline one of the points you made that is untrue: You said that "white people liked black music and copied it" In the 1950s we lived under "Jim Crow" laws....Most whites listened to white music and most blacks listened to black music. White people did not like black music and the other way around (again, most) When savvy record producers (white) tapped into black music and spun it into white music by white artists, as lily white as the sound may have been, white audiences were introduced to a "taste" of black music (although watered down) As Jim Crows became abolished, white interest in black music grew. You should be flattered that black music was eventually mainstreamed into the music world and enjoyed by all.

crazydaysful - 10 years ago

+mrob75 you say that garbage that whites copying soul music made soul music popular or otherwise it would have stayed "hidden"...YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR WHITE MIND! You evil whites will do anything to down play black people's creations and awesomeness and then exalt your white selves no matter what. Our music was created when we were first brought here for slavery and the whites enjoyed it and listened to it and THEN started to copy it...OUR music was popular without you and became the most copying music in the world without you whites. Black America's music is too awesome to be ISOLATED..but on the other hand your white music is still Isolated because it boring as hell...nobody copies your music so if you listening to black music made black music popular than why is not white music poplular.

mrob75 - 10 years ago

+crazydaysful Actually it was "white cover versions" of songs that introduced whites to soul music...Without these covers, soul music may have stayed as a completely isolated genre of music.

crazydaysful - 10 years ago

+mrob75 you say that lousy version of copying the Rivingtons sold millions of copies --- Well, you whites bought those millions of copies because your taste in music is not that good.

mrob75 - 10 years ago

+crazydaysful
Again, it is an original...combining the Rivingtons and Red Pryock into a new record at the time. You may not like it and you'd have to call millions stupid as this sold millions of records. :--)

crazydaysful - 10 years ago

+mrob75 this version is a damn copycat of The Rivington's original song and a terrible one at that. You are stupid.

mrob75 - 10 years ago

Just read that this was a ripoff of TWO (2) songs of The Rivingtons - Papa Oom Mow Mow and The Bird's the Word. If you listen to these on iTunes it's indisputable. When I heard this over and over in the early 60's I was appalled. Hated it. Now that I know it's a ripoff I'm even more disheartened. And it was immortalized in Full Metal Jacket, etc. This singer on Am Bandstand had the nerve to say that they composed this themselves. Lying liars who LIE!
