The Trashmen
The Trashmen are a rock band formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1962. The group's original lineup was Tony Andreason on lead guitar and vocals, Dal Winslow on guitar and vocals, Steve Wahrer on drums and vocals, and Bob Reed on bass guitar. The group played surf rock which included elements from garage rock. They have been described as being, along with Colorado-based band The Astronauts, "the premier landlocked Midwestern surf group of the '60s."〔(Biography by Richie Unterberger at Allmusic.com ).

=="Surfin' Bird"==
The Trashmen's biggest hit was 1963's "Surfin' Bird",〔 which reached No. 4 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in the latter part of that year. The song was a combination of two R&B hits by the Rivingtons, "The Bird's the Word" and "Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow". Early pressings of the single credit the Trashmen as composers, but following a threat from the Rivingtons' legal counsel, that group was subsequently credited as composers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.discogs.com/Trashmen-Surfin-Bird/release/1717702 ). Copied Feb 3, 2012 from the Rivingtons article.〕 The early single was credited solely to the drummer (and singer) – Steve Wahrer. The song was later re-recorded by artists including the Ramones, the Cramps, Silverchair, the Psychotic Petunias, Pee-Wee Herman, Equipe 84, and the thrash metal band Sodom. It has been used in filmmaking and television productions including, most notably, Stanley Kubrick's ''Full Metal Jacket'', Vince Vaughn's "Fred Claus", John Waters' ''Pink Flamingos'', Lyndall Hobbs' ''Back to the Beach'' (in which Pee-Wee Herman sang it) and the soundtrack to the video game ''Battlefield Vietnam''.
"Surfin' Bird" was the subject of the ''Family Guy'' episode "I Dream of Jesus", launching the song to No. 8 on the iTunes Top 10 Rock songs chart and No. 50 on the UK Singles Chart in 2009. Additionally, in 2010, a Facebook campaign was launched to send the song to No. 1 in the UK over the Christmas season; this was largely intended (as with Rage Against the Machine's "Killing in the Name", in 2009) as a protest against the takeover of the Christmas No. 1 spot by ''The X Factor'' winner's song. The track debuted in the UK Top Ten for the first time, on December 19, at No. 3.
