Strawberry Alarm Clock - The Birdman Of Alkatrash Lyrics

love this song,, it was on the other side of insence and peppermints

Yes it's awful, but in a good way! Such well crafted instrumentals. At age 14, I spun this single a lot, on both sides.

According to genius.com this was the A side. I think I don't believe that.

sounds like the seeds

The song that invented the fantastic word “overneath”.

This song reminds me of the seeds

nice,thanks for posting this flip side

Terrible song.

Whoa, great reveal: 1:41.

Never flipped the 45 over.I still regret it.

there names psch but they are a bubblegum pop band

Original: Strawberry Alarm Clock ( U.S. ) - The birdman of Alkatrash ( Mark Weitz ) ( 19/5/1967 ). Cover: Los Doltons ( Perú ) - El hombre pájaro de Alcatrash ( the birdman of Alcatrash ) ( 1969 ).

This side has durability - it was even on the MCA reissue of the "Incense and Peppermints" 45 single!

It's funny how everyone seems to hate this, I always have loved it since I got the Incense and Peppermints 45 20+ years ago and I played this and it blew my mind and I don't think I have even played the other side in 15 years but I always play this.

I like it too!

"overneath the bridge" ..... ??????????? (somebody had some realllll good stuff when they wrote, and recorded, this piece of garbage)

this song is really graspin' at straws ........ sounds just like "incense and peppermints"

@franco ianiro you're daughter liked this video 15 times? wow she really likes strawberry alarm clock!

The Non-Lp flip of the 1968 "Incense & Peppermints" 45 RPM Uni Single!

You have to wonder what the boys were smoking if they EVER considered making this the A Side over "Incense and Peppermints." The best thing about it? It's only 2:11. Also, why they didn't return to Munford--who was a helluva singer for 16 and knocks the stuffin' out of this guy--is beyond me. Sorry, but this band won't win any prizes for Brightest Bunch of 60s Dudes.

My dog hates this one... he thinks there's a duck at the door!!

HugoMasekela hahahahaha

ah ah ah I can imagine the scene... ah ! How you say in english the sound of the duck ? In french we say "coin-coin"

its amazing and my favourite song! LOL!!!! I'm weird!

btw it's Strawberry Alarm Clock - The Birdman Of Alkatraz NOT Alcatrash

used to play the ass off of this single

When this song came out I thought it was great, jesus it's terrible ! lol so many memories

Sounds too much like Pushin' Too Hard by The Seeds.

Even though you'll find it strange, all along the birdman really was me.

@ raceyboy is that Marlowe or Shakespeare ?

I PLAYED THIS MORE THAN THE A SIDE. WORE THIS DISC OUT..I EVEN PLAYED THE HELL OUT OF IT AFTER I DROPPED IT AND CRACKED IT. IT STILL RESIDES IN MY RECORD BOX

I used to laugh at the "cuack cuack", lolz, it's bloody funny mate!

how is this crap? i think you are taking this song a bit too seriously. it's a friggen cartoon. looney tunes, man

This was the original A side and "Incense and Peppermints" was the B side. The group didn't like "Incense and Peppermints" and recorded it at the urging of their producer.

He flies down over the bridge!!! I remember palying this like crazy, even with a cracked single!!! Between this and the flip side of let it all hang out....what a sophomore year..and I lived in the bay area too.

I went to San Francisco in 1971 when I was 9 and I saw Alcatraz. So when I saw this at a Sunday school flea market a year later, I bought it for 10 cents (Alcatrash). I didn't care about Incense and Peppermints! I must've remembered this because I just thought of it, searched youtube, and, 40 years later, sang along. Why is this stuff still in my head?

Interesting, and you sure got your 10 cents worth!

why does everyone here dislike the song... when they are IN here LISTENING to it. i dont understand that. its awesome!!!!

Love this song!!!

this song is an insult to the caveman beating on a log

@tremsfan .... don't even compare that song, with this one. "pushin' too hard" was a song ... this is pure crap!

they sure brainstormed to develop this song .... did this win a grammy for the worst song ever made? ..... if it didn't, it should have.

@airplaneguy53 Thank you for sending me the begining of the lyrics !

MAN!!! Please, you gotta tell me where you got these pictures

super ! Someone know the lyrics ?

reminds me a bit of "Pushing Too Hard' by the Seeds

Ahhh love it thanks..
