Das Album von erschien 1964 und enthält den gleichnamigen Song, der als Single Platz 4 der US-Charts erreichte. Auch "Bird Dance Beat" war erfolgreich und kam bis auf Platz 30. Der typische Sound entstand, als die Band spontan zwei Songs der Rivingtons kombinierte. Die Aufnahmen fanden in Minneapolis statt und prägten den charakteristischen Stil des Surf-Rock.

Theme for this week's #ThursdayFiveList is #BirdsOnTheWing. Songs with birds, about birds, you name it. Everything's allowed other than Lynyrd Skynyrd.

First thing that came to my head, and I apologize to anyone who clicks on this ...

von 1964 war eigentlich das einzige von den insgesamt fünf Studioalben, das den Erfolg, aber auch Ärger bescherten.
Über Umwege plagiierten sie mit der gleichnamigen Single scheinbar unwissentlich den Song "Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow" von den Rivingtons. Der Trashmen-Song war zwar etwas schneller. Trotz dem er einen noch simpleren Text als das Original hatte, nämlich Variationen des Satzes "The Bird Is The Word", landete er auf Nr. 4 der US Charts.

Glowfari at the Oakland Zoo - penultimate night visit on Saturday, January 25. The last night for the season is Sunday, January 26.

The video from the Aviary Odyssey area captures the song ("Surfin' Bird", by The Trashmen, 1963) coincidentally playing over the speakers as we approached 🙂 🐦 Before this: Prince's "When Doves Cry" (1984).

Weather was intermittently rainy but otherwise not too bad ☔
