surfin bird is actually a crap song.. it always was.... it was just some one hit wonder band latching onto the surf sound that was rampant in the early sixties in the usa.. i don't think scott mills endorsing something as being funny is enough reason to knock an x-lax contestant off the number one spot.
yes i remember it from full metal jacket (own the soundtrack cd), and also on family guy, where it was funny once.........
there, i've said it. now lets leave it at that.. why don't they start a campaign for slade or wizard or even the master, shakin' stevens.... they all did naff xmas classics..
