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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

You would not believe how popular this song was when it was out. God knows, it sure did jump right out of the speaker whenever it came on the radio. Which was often for a couple of months.

This was 'surf music' not to be confused with beach music. Dick Dale, The Champs, The Fireballs. They were the 'head bangers' of the 60's!

Correct that surf music isn't the same as beach music, but this song is not actually surf music either.

My brother played this song over and over on the record player until one day my sister “accidentally “ sat on it and broke it. She hated that song.

I've always heard that this was for military bases when the colonel was coming. The colonel rank symbol is a bird and this was played over the loud speakers on base to let people know the colonel was around but also to not give away anything about a person of higher position in case the enemy was spying

This song was meant to just be silly and a dance. The song is still popular with a lot of people after all these years so much that they put it on family Guy there's a few episodes of Peter doing the bird.. ❤️✌️👍
