      Speaking of the funky chicken, please reach out to the funky chicken by Rufus Thomas. First react to the studio version just so you can use your imagination as to what the dance looks like then react to Rufus Thomas singing funky chicken live at WattStax. It is a nine minute video that you will thoroughly enjoy.

    Back then, if you needed to liven up a party, you would invite that dude over. This is actually a combination of two different songs, originally done by The Rivingtons, a black R & B group in the very early 60's. The two songs were "Papa Oom Mow Mow", and "Bird's The Word". You should check those out, too.

    I was a sophomore in high school when this came out. Every day after school I would turn up the family stereo for the top 10 countdown.This song was blaring as my dad came home from work.
    He hated it and barked at me. I made the mistake of saying 'he's making more money than you !' The song is two songs by the Rivingtons, The Bird is the Word and Papa Oo Mow mow.

    The Trashmen were one of those bands that had a big hand in setting the groundwork for punk rock. There's always the argument about who was the first punk band and so many people point at the Ramones, but listen to the Ramones' style and listen to the Trashmen and you can hear a hell of a lot of influence trickled down (along with other garage and surf bands of the era such as the Ventures).

    Hi again, Jamal! First things first! There officially was never a video for Surfin' Bird. What you see here is a visual simply thrown together for a pop music TV show for teenagers, in which the drummer for The Trashmen, Steve Wahrer (who also did the Surfin' Bird vocals), improvised a "Chicken Dance" (Get it? "Bird"!) for the camera. SONG HISTORY - In 1962, a black Doo Wop / R&B group out of Los Angeles, The Rivingtons, released a novelty recording, Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow. The next year, 1963, The Rivingtons released another novelty recording, The Bird's The Word. In 1963, a Minnesotan Rock group, The Trashmen, having heard both Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow and The Bird's The Word, realized that the two songs could be combined together. When The Trashmen were performing the combined arrangement, Surfin' Bird, in a club, a local DeeJay liked what he heard and arranged for The Trashmen to record and release Surfin' Bird, which became a big hit. The Rivingtons threatened to sue The Trashmen for plagiarism.

    He definitely should have added Chuck Berry's duck walk to his bird antics.

    This was a combination of two earlier doo wop novelty songs, "Papa Oom Mow Mow" and "The Bird is the Word".

    I was six when this song came out, going to Catholic school in a very religious state where it was probably banned for some reason. But we won in the end.

    Remember, the post-WWII pharmaceutical industry was coming up with all kinds of mental health drugs by the late ‘50s early ‘60s.
    Everything from “Mother’s Little Helper” by the Stones to “They’re Coming to Take Me Away Ha Ha” by Napoleon XIII was influenced.
    It was the age of crazy.

    This song is a mix of a couple of songs by a R&B vocal group called The Rivingtons.

    The first time I heard this song was in the movie Full Metal Jacket.
    Of course, it got a heavy playing from the Family Guy.
    Hilarious performance.

    This clip is not actually the Trashmen. It is the clip that made the Dutch comedian Andre van Duin famous for this crazy performance! He is stil around today.

    During the huge Surf music craze of 1963, The Trashmen were probably the most landlocked group of them all, hailing from Minnesota. This is their most famous single, but they released a few others that were just as good or better. Their version of Malaguena is seriously good.
    The Trashmen don't actually appear in this video. The guy dancing is just the host of whatever show this was dancing to the single.

      @@Spo-Dee-O-Dee Cool. I hadn't known that. Thank you. I've seen the waves on the north end of Huron. While they're pretty big, they're not really surfing waves. That said, the Great Lakes are well known for their temperament.
