    dg hc - The Trashman actually had four members. Steve was the drummer; there were also a lead guitarist, a rhythm guitarist, & a bass guitarist. They could not raise the money for all 4 to fly out to play on American Bandstand,
    so Steve went alone.

    During his interview, Dick Clark wondered if The Trashmen would be gigging at the Copa in ten years time. Actually, they were immortalized around ten years later, but it was in a scene from PINK FLAMINGOS that no one who saw the film could ever forget.

      @@rocknroll_jezus9233Wrong, reading comprehension is actually important. The Trashmen “claim” that they hadn’t heard the Rivington’s perform “Bird is the Word” but rather a group called the Sorensen brothers. So they HAD heard BOTH songs prior to being SUED by the Rivingtons and losing, having to credit the Rivingtons as the original writers. Yes, after illegally plagiarizing the song, and even claiming authorship on this interview, the Trashmen’s version became famous through promotion.

    I have to say, I love Trashmen. Let this be a lesson. The Rivingtons did it first. Trashmen wrote this version, combining "The Bird is the Word" and "Om Papa Mau Mau." These days we give credit where it's due. The times were different, as there was no way to know right? No internet. Trashmen still went to court over this I believe. The Bird has always been, and will always be.... The Word.
