wow,

catching up a bit late on this meme from Family Guy, eh subby?

You know what. It wasn't funny when they showed it Family Guy, and it's still not funny 2 weeks later. Give it a farking rest.

is the word

Any Bonehead: Give it a farking rest.

Oh, I'm sorry. Have you not heard?

CastorTroy: Any Bonehead: Give it a farking rest.

Oh, I'm sorry. Have you not heard?

Heard what?

/kill me please...

Took me a week to get that damned song out of my head...


Papapa umma mow mow papa ummow mow mow

Trashmen are go!

The barely coherent jumble of pop-culture references that constitutes the typical Family Guy episisode, should just go away.

Can we have a thread with a video of the Office Space scene too?

I like where this thread is going.

/I don't

Seems apropo

That is the crappiest example of song writing I've ever bared witness to. That being said, and judging from these comments, I'm not surprised that this crap was featured on Family Guy.

you really should just try to relax and enjoy life


this song rules, it gets regular play on my iPod

Should post the scene with this song in Full Metal Jacket.(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8vHrq39JCI) I will spare everyone my comments of being for or against this song...and give you the mickey mouse ending (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmILOL55xP0&feature=related)

Eh, it was cooler before it became popular again on Family Guy, and was used ironically in movies.

I love this farkin' song. The Italian Communist Party used to have a radio show, and they used the Cramps' version as the theme song.

Y'know what, submitthole? fark you. fark you for bringing up this song, fark you for even mentioning it, fark you for linking to it, or posting to it, or bringing anyone's attention to it. Stupid goddamn song thought up by imbeciles who didn't even have a thought of their own, and now you bring it back. I'd rather listen to a gunshot entering my own brain. Leave it alone. Put it back under the rock, farktard.

You farking jerkwad. I hate you.

/as requested.

At the very first of the video there's a clip of a 45 spinning on one of those old cabinet stereos. My grandma still has her's in working order. Anyone have any idea what they go for?

FAAAAARRRRRRK!!!! I don't like what I see when I hear this song. I only saw the scene one time and it was burned into my memory. What has been seen cannot be unseen. I speak of a little scene from Pink Flamingos. Anyone else think of the singing anus when they hear this song or is it just me?

Long before family guy played this song, it still sucked.

That was the first time I saw an episode of Family Guy that was so bad that I turned it off.

How disappointing. I was expecting an actual music video.

I missed the Family Guy episode, but Subby needs a spay / neuter for posting a video of a record playing. I realize you tweenies have probably never seen a record or a record player, but geez... go watch it at grandma's basement.

The last half was good

I found an old album of novelty songs, including one called "The Bird" by the Rivingtons. Perhaps that's the song the Trashmen were trying to do? It's really not much better.

THE BIRD BIRD BIRD
THE BIRD IS THE WORD
BIRD BIRD BIRD
BIRD IS THE WORD
THE BIRD

So what the fark does this song have to do with Family Guy?

/Likes the song quite a bit. It's just fun music, people.

Ooo Great tune!! Time to go listen to the replacements "Buck Hill"

The definitive version from Pee Wee Herman.

The song is perfect little bit of trashy surf pop, despite being brought down to the levels of Family Guy recently.

/didn't see the episode
//will make plans to miss this week's episode, too

Well...there seems to be an absence of a certain ornithological piece.

A headline regarding mass awareness, of a certain avian variety.

Boobies: Well...there seems to be an absence of a certain ornithological piece.

A headline regarding mass awareness, of a certain avian variety.

I haven't heard of any ornithological piece...

Hide your chickens: Yes, the Pee Wee/Back to the Beach version is the best.

//you want us to call you Nice? Okay NICE!

Bob gets a half point...they actually combined two songs by the rivingtons; The Bird's the Word and Pa Pa Ooh Mow Mow. The more you know, the less you care.

Luftstalags are not a pleasant vacaton choice this time of year

Thud

My nickel's worth: the song kicks

I like the song, but the family guy episode was only mildly funny.

You're my role model! TEACH ME HOW TO BE AS UNIQUE AND ORIGINAL AS YOU!

Fine, Genius -

-Watch the show the first night it's on, realize it has its moments.

-Have it spend 3 years growing on you.

-Anticipate the return by watching DVDs and reruns.

-Wonder what happened to the writers that caused them to get insufferably smug and spend 3 or 4 minutes on jokes that ran their course in 20 seconds.

-Wait for people to complain and call you a hater, a South Park fan, or type in all caps because they don't have any better way to communicate.

Your move.

You've missed the point. You have to put this song on the context of when it was released... and the gutbucket blues it evolved from. What you are hearing here is nothing less than punk rock being born. Well, one of it's babies, anyway.

To call it "songwriting" and to hold it to come kind of Lennon/McCartney standard doesn't make any more sense than doing the same to "Boogie Chillun'"

You, my friend, need an appointment with some decaf.

It's only rock and roll. And this is some great, singular, highly influential rock and roll here. Like it or not.

busted!

I have an mp2 folder called "sorry" with all kinds of terrible songs in it, like Songbird, Whoomp There It Is, Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, etc. Songs that make you want to stick a drill in your ears to get rid of it, but then you realize you'd be stuck with the stupid song forever. Surfin Bird belongs in that folder. I will not stop looking until I find it and put it in that folder.

As for Family Guy, I loved the first part but lost interest in the Jesus part. To each his own...I seem to have drifted away from the Simpsons in recent years and moved towards Family Guy. I guess I'm getting old and senile (Look, fat guy dancing and annoying his family!)

I'm on the fence with Family Guy. Every episode from every season before they got canceled was absolute sophomoric garbage. They came back and the writing was somehow 10x better (though they still would fall back on the gay ass god damned chicken fight now and again).

However, this time, it's pretty much over for me. He took a pop culture reference and made it 13 farking minutes of an episode. They wrote an episode about Jesus, realized it was way too short, and instead of giving you the respect of canning the god damn thing, he shiat down your throats by just filling the first 13 farking minutes with bullshiat designed to annoy.

And you're eating it up like that shiat was cake.

Family Guy Rules

This song is like Benny Hill "Yakkity Sax" It's always funny when you listen to it while watching some crazy historical tragedy in fast motion.

When they used the song in "Full Metal Jacket" I thought it was appropriate. Sort of highlighted the insanity.
