The Trashmen - 1964 - Surfin' Bird [originally posted on 1/18/2010]

I remember when this Minnesota group, The Trashmen, became one of my favorites. They sang one of the songs you could sing along with!

You could have the worst voice in the choir, be drunk as all, and could still sing “Everybody knows the bird is the word”! The bird is also a favorite sign of mine- the middle finger. 

This group was around from 1962 to 1967 originally and they then reunited a couple of times. I don't think they will anymore. Just the other day, another one of the Trashmen bit the dust.

Their music was called “surf music”?!? Minnesota, the land of 10,000 lakes, has none! Surf that is, nada! Gawheen! No surf, just surfin' bands! 

BBBBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAHHHHHHHAAAA!
