Tom Lehrer referenced Junior Birdmen in the intro to his song “It makes a Fellow Proud to Be a Soldier.”

With which he was making fun of the actual Air Force anthem. Until this thread, I had no idea the “Up in the Air Junior Birdman song” was a real thing.

Here’s a link to the song; the relevant bit starts at 0:37.

I remember it from Summer Camp back in the early 60s. I still can do the goggle bit.

They also had “Junior Scubamen,” which was the same song with slightly different lyrics, and you made a scuba mask with your hands (basically, just an oval).

We sang it at Scout Camp in the eighties, but we didn’t have the “Junior Scubamen”.
