Straight talk about radio programming, radio advertising, radio production...Well, you get the idea.
I never could explain why, but I always liked this record by The Trashmen.

When you post something on this blog, you retain the right to use your words elsewhere.
I get to use your words elsewhere, too: in a newsletter, book, 3-D hologram, major motion
picture, etc. I'm not saying I will, but it's possible.
But you don't get to take the stuff I write here – even if it's in response to something you
wrote – and use it elsewhere.
Just so you know.
Thanks,
Dan O'Day

as ridiculous and over the top as it was, it was hard to resist the manic primal-rock insanity of “surfin bird”–couldn’t get enough of it as it as it bolted onto wabc am radio’s daily rotation–(late ’63 ?) loved the vocals’ almost-out-of-control lurch into the chorus–”don’t you know about the bird…”–funny and exciting am pop.
Same here! For a crazy set, play it back-to-back with “Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow” by the Rivingtons.
You and Peter Griffin. (me too)
Thanks for giving us the bird, Dan.
How can anyone not like that song!
Family Guy did a whole show revolving around that song!
An excellent song to sing at Karoke.
