Surfin' Bird is a cover of the Trashmen and the Cramps, recorded
in less than two
hours in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia during late January
1996. It appears on
MOM, a compilation which is a benefit for the Surfrider Foundation.
Very basic song
with three chords. I think the bass follows the guitar except
in the second riff.
the first riff played eight times is:
E5 B5 E5 B5

"Everybody's heard a—bout the bird ..."
the following riff isn't the same for guitar and bass:
B5 A5

"Don't you know about the bird, everybody's heard about the bird."
The third is the same as the first
one, played twice, then a E5 chord that Daniel slides down.

Order:
Repeat four times these three riffs one after another, with
a pause of four
beats between the first and second times for drums, then a pause
of four
beats between the second and third times for singing, and finally
a pause
of eight beats between the third and fourth times for drums.
