The bird is the word live at

This song was, in fact, taken almost entirely from The Rivington’s tracks “Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow” and “The Bird is the Word”. It was released in 1963 as a single and gained mainstream success, topping out at #4 on the Billboard Top 100.

“Surfin’ Bird” has become regarded as a protopunk standard, was covered by the Ramones, appeared in the films Full Metal Jacket and Pink Flamingos and was popularized by an episode of Family Guy.

Most recently, the song was referenced by the DIY South Florida rap movement some are comparing to punk rock in the song “Bird is the Word” by Ski Mask the Slump God.

Surfin’ Bird was released in 1963 and reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. It is a combination of two R&B hits by The Rivingtons, «Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow» and «The Bird’s the Word»

The Rivingtons followed up their 1962 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.

It reportedly sold 30,000 copies in its first weekend.
