who sings that stupid "bird is the word" song from the 50s or 60s?

[The Notorious LOL]

I think the band is called Trash Bin or Trash Pile or something.

YOU sing that stupid bird is the word song from the 50s or 60s

anyway it's the trashmen

[DroppinScience]

Yeah, Trashmen. I love the Ramones' cover of it personally. They did really awesome covers of '60s songs. There should be a comp of all their covers (I know, I know, there was an entire ALBUM of '60s covers specially recorded, but it'd be nice to hear all the other covers they did throughout their career all in one spot).

LOL: The Trashmen are one of Minneapolis' few claims to pop music fame prior to Prince! (The Trashmen and whatever group did Liar Liar. :p )

They were a surf band from Minneapolis! How crazy was that! I have one of their LPs and it's fairly rare because they were more of a singles band.

And to think that they got re-discovered because of Pee Wee Herman. :rolleyes:
