I said everybody's heard about the bird. It was a frozen bird in heap of turd, a bird bird bird in a steaming turd, bird bird bird, bird in a turd.

With apologies to The Trashmen. Although actually I think my words are better!

Together with the Rivingtons' 1963 novelty song "The Bird's the Word", "Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow" was the basis for the song "Surfin' Bird", a number four hit in 1963 by The Trashmen.[3] The combination of the songs, played at a much livelier pace than the original doo-wop songs, was ad-libbed at an early live performance by the band and later released as a single.[4] Initially, the single did not credit the original songwriters, but after the Rivingtons asked for their copyright to be respected, the songwriting credits were amended.
