It's a great piece of frat/surf rock - I've versions by the Trashmen and the incomparable Ramones (whose choices of cover version material were almost always fucking superb).
It contains an interpolation of The Rivingtons: "Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow" if you care. Which you undoubtedly do not.

And Surfin' Bird gives them the panacea of a more frenetic musical backing and frenzied delivery, which I think does them the world of good.
