Surfing Bird / myLot

Strangest song I every hear is "Surfin' Bird" by American surf rock band The Trashmen. The song includes the repetitive lyric "the bird is the word" which you might not get out of your head for a while. It was released as a single in 1963 and made it on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This is a combination of two R & B hits by The Rivingtons : "Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow" and "The Bird's the Word."

"Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow" is the song that we love to dance.

After reading this and i searched for the song and listened to it and yes the song is so weird, even though surf rock songs are very nice to listen to, we can feel the atmosphere of the beach and the sea
