This song needs no explanation. Just go here and listen to the greatness of this song. You'd be pretty un-American there if you didn't like it. Buy / Download : Surfin' Bird

The band’s essence was distilled into two moments, back-to-back in the middle of the 90-minute concert. First there was “Halfway Home,” which turned the wordless vocal hook from the Trashmen’s garage-rock classic “Surfin’ Bird” (via ‘50s doo-wop group the Rivingtons) into a drone hymn before rushing to a double-time close.

It was mainly Peter becoming obsessed with the old 60’s song “Surfin Bird” by the Trashmen, which is annoying as can be, and then he meets Jesus and tries to help him reveal himself to the world. I’d never heard that song before, but even though Peter sings it [...]
