Most annoying song, period.

... I discovered he was actually singing "Bird, bird, bird, bird is the word".

Hi Tim,

Thanks for your comment about "Surfin’ Bird," and for the link. The lyric is actually "bird is a word," at least in most places in the song, which I think is even funnier than if it were "the word."

Perhaps that lyric was inspired by a dance known as "The Chicken," which originated in the 1950s, and which the performer appears like he might be doing in the latter part of the video you and Geoff linked to. (The video, btw, is incorrectly titled "Surfin Bird - Bird is the Word"; just Google "Surfin’ Bird lyrics" for additional confirmation of that).

Best regards,

I always thought of "Surfin' Bird" as a satire, and found it to be kind of funny in a likable sort of way.  Although I don't know how serious or satirical it was intended to be.

Among songs that are well known and were huge commercial successes, my pet dislike is "Hey Jude," by The Beatles of course.  And I say that as one who is a fan of much of The Beatles' music. 

Regards,
