So, I re-made this video for my bar manager Lori, at Willie's Wetspot Bar in Smyrna, Tennessee. This was her favorite song. The original was a live performance with Dick Clark. The audio was poor quality.
I'm a video DJ, so when I was remastering the track and video together, I found that the original performance was lacking...
I found a comedy skit of Comedian,
"Andre Van Duin." He did a parody-lip-sync performance in 1964 with a compilation of songs and quotes that were hits at the time.
I decided to edit him into the ending of the video, because he was more visually entertaining. It's funny how so many people think he's one of the Trashmen... sorry. But go look him up from 1964. After 11yrs of this video going viral, because of Family Guy,
I finally decided to set the record straight and give credit where it was due.
Today, Jan 21, 2024.
My name is Michael Currey
AKA VDJ MikeyMike.

0% profanity 0% nudity 70% bird 30% cocaine / crystal meth

I know this was and still is a joke/meme song both in 1963 and today but in all seriousness this shit was way ahead of its time. You can easily hear the influences on later styles of music that derived from rock (particularly punk) in the instrumentals and vocals. These dudes were the epitome of "You might not be ready for this, but your kids are going to love it."

I was 7 years old when this song came out on the charts. I liked it then, and I still like that song. I'm now 67 years old and I still love that song.

40 years later and I still remember every single word to this song

What he was trying to depict waving hand in front of the face is still an enigma and beyond my recognition.

The dislikes are from people who didn’t know bird is the word
