[BrandonGoob14]

@bcakapinky Don't forget James Woods.

[bcakapinky]

[jtp1389]

Did that guy kill himself in humilation after he was done making an asshole out of himself? If not, he should have.

[tulllguy]

[McGigi666]

[keilone]

@McGigi666 that's kind of harsh

[sepulthrax]

@McGigi666 ??? no grandchildren? So would it be ok if he had children of his own as long as they didn't have kids??

[McGigi666]

@sepulthrax well, i'm thinking about their mental health after watching their grandpa doing that...

[buzzardbait99]

Always liked this song, but never saw a video. One thing's for sure, Pee Wee Herman saw the video. Don't believe me? Go to Pee Wee Herman Tequila....Papa Umm Mao Mao........

[roomidol1234]

[BloatedSensations]

Thumbs up if you suffer from a rare genetic disorder that makes it impossible for you to put your thumbs down!!!!!

[bluestucco]

The bird's the word, but what about its turd?

[MissezPremise]

I love the way Dick sez "The STRANGE SOUND of the Trashmen"...OK kids, how many bands were influenced by this since?? Let's see....The Ramones, The Revillos...who else? How many can YOU name?? (Family Guy doesn't count. )

[kyon9394]

[nero1718]

Oh man i want the stuff this guys took. I realy want it.

Great freaky song

[GobbieSesh]

What the fuck convinced them to make this. Someone actually thought "Hey, lets record this, put it on records and sell them, cause this sounds amazing!"

[p3dro165]

BRAIN DON'T!

[austinbotter001]

see even if you have terets you can still make a famous song

[noxtan13]

@Huistelefoon Surprisingly enough, the radio brought me here. After hearing it earlier, I HAD to look this song up.

~Peace, over and out!~

~Anton~

[CoDisafishy]

@Huistelefoon why does everybody spell thumbs wrong? And no.

[djtigerm]

@Huistelefoon Thumbs up anyway bud! xD Actually one of my siblings TOLD me about the Family guy episode, showed me a clip on YouTube the last time we all met up and that's how I heard "The Bird Was The Word" from Peter Griffin of Family Guy.=3

However, much thanks to my father[E.Y.N.B.]having been in the Vietnam War and having all kinds of stories about it, politics and his regards for musical tastes at the time (dad loved music =) actually grew up with this on 8-track and vinyl! FIL, -TIGER M

[SpecialDetermence]

@Huistelefoon stop begging for thumbs up...cant you just watch the video and enjoy it?

[Jimbengoz]

I swear this is a great song because I hate surf music due to the surf punk invasion that brought chaos, violence and loads of drugs into the hardcore punk movement, causing its sudden decline in 1986; fortunately, hardcore's been saved by heavy metal (most forms of hardcore derive from the union between hc and metal), but I love this song.

[IndigoBipolarGemini]

Thumbs up if you kept watching just to see if he had a seizure like Peter did

[hggp16]

Pink flamingos totally ruined this song

[MrMiniClips]

@hggp16 how do you know its pink.Its in black and white

[hggp16]

@MrMiniClips pink flamingos is a movie they used this song for a really disgusting scene

[qwertylello]

I just can't believe this song is almost 50 years old! It's got such a modern rhythm

[Planktontwo]

Thumbs up if you know this song LONG LONG before Family Gay was on TV.

[TheDetelina]

thums up if you think he's amazing the he says so fast bird.o.o

[nigbot1]

@TheDetelina surfin bird*

[izquemia]

[TheKizzmaniac]

This song was the bomb.

[TheLawBreaker97]

Thumbs up if your here after watching family guy :D

[beroth77]

Seeing is great too.

[eauc1994]

it is better to just listen without seeing!!!!!!!!

[eauc1994]

sin ver!!!!

[eauc1994]

jajaja es mejor solo escuchar!!!!!!!!

[HunterD216]

66 people hate birds.

[kridmargni]

Never realized that Fred Schn eider, of the B52's carried on this vocal legacy!

[DarkWilliam56]

how come i cant find anymore songs by them?

[brettcelicacoupe]

2:04 melbourne shuffle

[demoniangel1]

[demoniangel1]

@demoniangel1 I now it came out in the 60's

[rabib15]

lol



[bumbury00]

BRIAN DONT !!!! JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA

[MrTheboss914]

Family guy does it better. Stewie: Oh crap!

[burgulize]

This guy invented digital music editing , by his brain.

[djtigerm]

@burgulize Disagreed my friend. =) However, I honestly do think that the Trashmen and Steve Wahrer did indeed prove however that the public was finally ready for such a sound. =) Ironically my father was in the Vietnam War [E.Y.N.B. dad] and while raising us had stories about music like this on the rise during Vietnam and also the records to prove it on vinyl and 8-track tapes! xD

I understand what you are saying is an "allegory" but that's like saying "Bill Gates made the internet..."

[djtigerm]

@burgulize Bill Gates and Steve Jobs [E.Y.N.B. buddy] did indeed bring into fruition the concept of the personal computer (I was born in 1984! The year of the first Mac! xD) but even before the Macintosh or Windows 95 the internet existed--Bill and Steve [E.Y.N.B.] simply made computers and the internet easier to use by sharing with we the public a way to easily understand. =) The Trashmen are credited for doing this for Rock N' Roll. Some have thought this way since 8 years old...

FIL,

-TIGER M

[TheHumblehumble]
