In November 1963, the Trashmen came roaringout of the frozen, landlocked expanses of Minnesotato shake the foundations of Western culture withtheir debut release “Surfin’ Bird.” Two and a halfminutes of gleeful, unhinged garage abandon, it seta standard for transcendent teen dementia that’snever been bested! In the early months of ’64, just asBeatlemania was beginning to hit America, the Birdascended to the Number Four spot on Billboard’ssingles chart, as well as becoming a seminal smashin such far-flung locales as Australia, Sweden,Mexico and Venezuela.
