January 22, 2022 Records of the Day

“Surfin’ Bird” is one of those songs you hear once and either love it or hate it. Recorded by the Trashmen, it went all the way to #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1965 even though many radio stations refused to play it. The song has been used on soundtracks for movies such as “Full Metal Jacket” and TV shows like “Family Guy.” The “Surfin’ Bird” 45 is worth up to $25.00. But the album, released on Soma/Garrett Records, is worth up to $100.00 in mono and $200.00 in stereo.
