Bill, yes indeed this song got airplay outside of California. When I was growing up in Memphis, I was always trying to duplicate the drum solo on the cafeteria tables at lunch time in 2nd grade. :)

great to hear this version again...I'm in a 40 year time warp. Now if we could just get Surfer Joe up and running on RP, I'd really be smilin'. That song somehow eerily predated the "GI's love to hang ten no matter what" surfing scene in Apocalypse Now...
"When He went on maneuvers, Joe caught cold"

Some of the members of this group went to my high school. That was a "claim to fame" for our high school at the time.

Subtle but perfect segue from the Arctic Monkeys to this. That final guitar chord was the kicker. (the drumming works, too)

Ahh. The memories. "The Wedge" at Newport Beach. Catching my first wave body surfing. The day one of the biggest waves broke there. Huntington Beach when there was a hurricane swell up from Baja, and the lifeguard towers were out in the water. Body surfing at San Onofre before the power plant. And my dad yelling at me for ruining the surf fishing.
I still love the waves.  |

Yikes! I haven't heard this in YEARS! There was a XXX Drive-In (yes, drive-in) near Muncie, IN called Blackford County Drive-In that used this music in it's radio ads at the beginning. Now, everytime I hear it I remember back to being 11 years old and wondering what they meant by those movie titles.

what garage band hasn't been influenced by this?
the measure of a man; being able to do the drum solo bare handed on your thighs

Yes, back when "desktop" meant the top of your desk, not a computer. |
