The bird is the word

"Everybody's heard about the bird,
The bird bird bird, the bird is the word,
Ooh papa ooh mau mau papa ooh ma mau mau!"

I'm not in the challenge but I couldn't resist this one.
The original "Surfin' Bird" video by the Trashmen is so hideous, I couldn't bring myself to post it.

Nikon F5 ,Nikkor 20-35mm f/2.8D ,Kodak Portra 400 (new)

other sizes: small medium large original auto

it was a trashy song too, yet also a memorable one, as is your quixotic bird..

I'm thinking of both "The Raven" and
"De spring is sprung, de grass is riz
I wonder where de boidies is?
De boid is on de wing, but dat’s absoid,
De wing is on de boid"
Time get off the computer. Cool find and, yes I watched the video too. "V" for all that.
