The original was done by the Trashmen......and called
Surfin' Bird. Very popular with the troops in VN and later on in Iraq, Joe.

Nope. That Trashmen were sued and lost all of the revenues from the recording for copyright infringement. The court allowed them to continue to perform the song and keep live performance revenues, however. (I believe I heard this about 30 years ago)
