Song by early Garage Rock/Rock n Roll band The Trashmen from their debut album of the same name. The Ramones did a terrific cover of it on their "Rocket to Russia" album.
A great song indeed. Sadly most kids today only know about it due to it's use on an episode of "Family Guy".

Kid A: What are you listening to?
Kid B: Surfin' Bird
Kid A: Sweet! Which version, The Trashmen or The Ramones?
Kid B: Ummm...Peter Griffin's?
Kid A: You mean The Trashmen's version.
Kid B: No I'm pretty sure this is Peter's
Kid A: *sigh* Never mind. *to self* That's why I'm fine with Futurama

Get the Surfin' Bird mug.Term applying to a suburban housewife who spends most of her time looking after her kids, taking them to and from school, little league sports games, music lessons, etc., in lieu of a career. There are essentially two kinds of soccer moms:
-The bad kind: the one most other soccer mom definitions on this site target. The ones that take rather conservative views and approaches to life, having negative perceptions on most forms of modern music, video games, TV shows that don't feature characters like Spongebob and Mickey Mouse, and any and all signs of non-conformity. The type that feel anything that isn't considered "family friendly" (at least by their standards) should be outlawed.
-The good kind: a soccer mom who hates being such. Chances are that the soccer mom life isn't what they want; either they had bigger dreams and ambitions that never took off or didn't get far, or who convinced themselves they were happy and didn't see the truth until it was too late. Much more tolerant of outside influences and non-family friendly things (so long as no one is forcing them onto their children). Soccer moms like these tend to escape their dull lives by reading romantic-often dirty-novels and frequently getting drunk on wine.

Not all Soccer Moms are stuck up bitches who think their children come before anything and everything else in this world.

Get the Soccer Mom mug.The first Monday in September. Made to honor the working men and women in the United States, though mainly known for cookouts, parades, days off from work and school (which is usually just beginning) and being the official last day of summer (while the last day is technically Sept. 20, almost every summer related activity shuts down after Labor Day).
Me and my girlfriend had a killer Labor Day weekend. Now I'm depressed knowing I have to go back to work and that Autumn is right around the corner.

Get the Labor Day mug.1. When an LGBT person is prevented from coming out, largely due to pressures from family, religion, or any other outside source that may look down on anything other than heterosexuality.
2. A 33-chapter hip hopera by R. Kelly about an infidelity that quickly spirals out of control
3. Perhaps South Park's most controversial episode, which sees Scientologists praising Stan as the reincarnation of L. Ron Hubbard (the title is a parody of R. Kelly's above mentioned hip hopera). While acclaimed by fans and critics (even being nominated for an Emmy), the episode remains controversial in the eyes of scientologists and is believed to have caused Isaac Hayes to leave the show.

1. I remember being trapped in the closet. It ain't easy being gay in a rural bible belt town.
2. My dad told me of a one night stand that almost turned into Trapped in the Closet
3. Trapped in the Closet is my favorite South Park episode

Get the Trapped in the Closet mug.by Gaaraofthedamned September 17, 2011
Get the Nice things mug.Town/mini-city in Illinois, connected to the northwest side of Chicago. Noted for it's close proximity to O'hare Airport as well as featuring the Allstate Arena (where minor league teams such as the Chicago Wolves American Hockey League team play, as well as hold concerts), Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, and the Rosemont Theater (also a good concert venue).

Get the Rosemont mug.1. Cast member of the god-awful TV show Jersey Shore. Known for being a slut who tans too much, thinks she's Italian when she's really Chilean, and bases her political opinions on people's views on tanning and not real issues. Also hideously ugly.
2. A real boner killer
3. A person carrying every STD known to man (and possibly a few others that haven't been discovered yet).

1. Oh god Jersey Shore is on again. Unless Snooki announces she has skin cancer and six months to live I shy away from the TV whenever it's on.
2. I was getting ready to have sex with this really hot chick from the Iron Maiden show when a Snooki popped into my head for a second and now I'm struggling with erectile dysfunction.
4. Mark and Kim are perfect for each other. They're both Snookis so they can't catch anything new from each other.
