Real Live Doll - (alternate take) ~ The Trashmen   Album Notes and Credits Notes & Personnel Info One of the small army of regional bands to rise to stardom in their home city (in this case Minneapolis), the Trashmen were one of the lucky few to chart a breakout hit: 1963 smash "Surfin' Bird." Welding together two gimmick songs by the Rivingtons, "The Bird's the Word" and "Pa Pa Ooh Mow Mow," and giving them a freak-out garage treatment, was a once-in-a-career stroke of unmitigated brilliance. The rest of the songs here, a typical garage amalgamation of R&B, doo wop, British Invasion, and especially surf, is never short of entertaining, with a few bracing turns.   Compilation Appearances 20th Anniversary Collection History Of Rock Vol 01 Rockabilly Psychosis & The Garage Disease Surf City's Greatest Hits Summer Fun!
