almarg: "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." Hello Al, I’ve always thought the same about "Surfin’ Bird" by the Trashmen being a satire. I love that song but always thought the words were "Bird, bird, bird, bird is a whale" until I discovered he was actually singing "Bird, bird, bird, bird is the word". It’s a fairly common sight when surfing with whales around. From a distance when paddling out, a seagull standing on a surfaced whale looks like the bird’s standing on the water. I like my version of the lyrics better, which are almost as cool as this old classic video of the Trashmen performing the song live: ps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Gc4QTqslN4 Speaking of cool, here’s another newer video classic of Christopher Walken dancing cool to Fat Boy Slim’s "Weapon of Choice": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCDIYvFmgW8 Tim |
I had no idea all these old time Hollywood stars were such big fans of Uptown Funk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1F0lBnsnkE&list=RDM1F0lBnsnkE&index=1 Tim |
