6. The Trashmen – Surfin Bird
Q: Well, a-don’t you know about the bird?
Well, everybody knows that the bird is the word!
A-well, a bird, bird, b-bird’s the word
A: A lot of people actually don’t know that ‚the bird‘ is actually a dance invented by the original authors of this song – The Rivingtons – one of those novelty dances from the 1950s and 1960s like the twist, the watusi, the mashed potato, etc.
