This bird was singing “Surfin’ Bird”
🎶🎵
A well a everybody’s heard about the bird
B-b-b bird, bird, bird, b-bird’s the word
A well a bird, bird, bird, the bird is the word
A well a bird, bird, bird, well the bird is the word
Papa ooma mow mow, papa ooma mow mow
Papa ooma mow mow, papa ooma mow moww
Ooma mow mow, papa ooma mow mow 🎶🎵
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.
