Meaning of lyrics

When the song came out in 1963, the dance "The Bird" was hugely popular. The song lyrics are simply about the huge popularity of the dance called "The Bird". Any other interpretation is much more recent and was clearly not intended by The Trashmen in the 60s. So, the "fact" tag shall stay in place for a reasonable amount of time and then the creative "21st century" interpretation should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fish Man (talk • contribs) 00:17, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, 209.214.107.160... Excellent edit! Thanks! Fish Man 14:27, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is one of the most tragics in USA music history. Only a group with such name would sing such trash, meaningless, and foolish lyric. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.214.30.248 (talk) 14:07, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You clearly don't know that the bird is a word. Papa-oom mow mow-papa, oom mowmow...207.210.29.71 (talk) 13:33, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly. I bet you are one of those "audiophiles" who only hear the errors in a track instead of the music, and who think there is some scientific way to measure what "good" art is, while in reality, "quality" of art is only defined by the amount and confidence of the pathetic losers parroting the view of some asses who are very much sure of themselves. Same as is fashion. I for one, say this is great art, and one of the highest highs of being free and having fun in the history of music! I really rocks the house and has an incredible rhythm and ear-worm qualities. On an unrelated note: Ba-ba-ba bird bird bird, the bird is the word... -- 88.77.129.212 (talk) 18:25, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rising back into popularity

Surfin' bird is quickly rising back into popularity with the peter griffin episode. I predict in a few weeks it will turn into an internet phenomenom especially if 4chan discovers this. 193.157.242.51 (talk) 22:40, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why would this ever, EVER be a meme? People try to force memes all the time by spamming stupid shit. The only things that live are things that are actually funny. I highly doubt enough people are going to think this is worthy of such status simply because it was on Family Guy. No, expect moar desu. Sandwiches99 (talk) 23:25, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Don't you know about the bird? Everybody knows that the bird is the word! 18:03, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

I'd say it already is a meme! 206.72.25.210 (talk) 21:38, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And I second that! And one of the best too! -- 88.77.129.212 (talk) 18:26, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The family guy section was way to detailed.-this article is about the song and not the one family guy ep.

Way to go, censoring Wikinazi! WRONG! The rest of the article was not big enough! Add more to it! The complete background information set. A sample. An image of the actual record. A section about the phenomenon, and one about how it changed the world, including the influence of the covers... There's tons of stuff to write and add! -- 88.77.129.212 (talk) 18:31, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're right it was way to detailed. I changed it, now it is fine. The sentance I have there explains it was made popular again by that episode of family guy. I am one who listened to it back when I was growing up, but I also watch family guy with my kids.

UK Chart position 2009

I thought it might be edited by someone looking at the main reference article and it was... that article was an American newspaper looking at the UK I-Tunes chart (when it was at #36) and assuming that was the official chart. It actually entered the official UK chart at #50 (see the Music Week reference).Retro junkie (talk) 21:19, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
