They did this cover doing what they did best back then in 1997, they were so young!!! I still have the single with this song on it (somewhere,....) from when I bought it in 97! I was listening to this on youtube tonight after seeing the peter griffin version for the first time tonight......my bf didn't believe me that silverchair did a cover of surfin bird.....
i do understand that some people (most silverchair teen fans) don't like their new stuff.. but i think every album silverchair have released are great...
if you dont like the new shit, ok... but it doesn't mean its not good... just that you dont like...
Couldn't agree more! It's quite amazing that they managed to transform from a so-so teenage grunge band into the original outfit they are today. Diorama and Young Modern are both amazing albums.

They've grown alright...grown ovaries. Young Modern is the biggest piece of easy-listening trash to come out of a formerly decent band that I've ever heard.
Ramones...

Oh please. Both Family Guy and Silverchair have degenerated to stupidity by now.

Okay Family Guy always has been completely retarded. But you are right about Silverchair after Diorama they went straight down hill in my opinion.

i think you are completely wrong...
i do understand that some people (most silverchair teen fans) don't like their new stuff.. but i think every album silverchair have released are great...
