[numbnutone]

What the fuck all u pea brains on about , er its the cramps deeeerrrr its the cramps. IT AINT THE BLOODY CRAMPS ITS THE STINGRAYS. They recorded it at the end of doing their first album and put it out on a 45 as a joke. Some joke its better than anybody elses version.

It is really the Cramps pretendinding to be a 60's garage band!

i have been trying to find this for years!

i first heard it in 1984 when i was 13, on a sony walkman in science class. i'd been banished to the back of the lab, as had rude-girl, lynette e. we weren't much into learning about sedimentary rocks, so we talked music + she opened my ears for the first time to the wonderful sounds of the bananamen.

best science class ever!!

I think this version of Surfin Bird is more mental than the Cramps version! RIP Lux.
