Title: 11 Jan 2008: it's a "Surfin' Safari"!
Post by: RGMike on January 11, 2008, 07:33:39 AM
Dave said he had a "great" 1971 set planned, that would include Long John Baldry and the Carpenters (gee... 3 guesses as to what those 2 songs were), but when he found out that Maverick's is tomorrow, he decided to dredge up a surfing set he did some years back. So '71 will be Monday.

I don't recall the Surfin' set he's referring to (haven't checked the DB yet), but it won't be hard to pick at least a few of the songs:

Surfin' Bird
Surfin' USA
Little Old Lady from Pasadena
Surfer Girl
Surf''s Up

How many Beach Boys songs can he squeeze into one set?

BOS TradeWinds, "NY's a Lonely Town".  This would seg nicely into "No Surf in Cleveland" by the Euclid Beach Band (produced by Eric Carmen) but I'm not holding my breath.

I keep my "woody" INside, if you catch my drift...

Just occurred to me this could be the shortest set ever, 'cause all these surf tunes are like 1:48.

Surfer Joe, very cool. Haven't heard this in decades.

Surfer Joe, go man go!  I feel like I've stumbled onto a Little Steven show.

Surfer Joe wins!

I'm enjoying the set, but don't seem to have much commentary

What's this Surfer Joe tune?  It's quite terrible, and borrows pretty heavily from Monster Mash.

How could we forget "Wipe Out!" BOS2 -- maybe the Ramones cover of "Surfin Bird" is coming up?

yeah, it's a pretty cheezy novelty, and certainly doesn't qualify as a rock record. But that was what the charts were like in '63 or thereabouts.

Urth scores again -- his third predicted song comes true. Not the Ramones version, sadly.  papa-oo-mow-mow!

BOS3 "Ride the Wild Surf" -- one of the best surf songs, from the film of the same name (one of the best surf movies).

So what's this string-laden instrumental? Sounds like it could almost be Phil Spector's take on surf music.

And the buzzer sounds at 10:26.

I thought so too, and we were right, over and done in 26 minutes.

I'm not recognizing -- sounds like the theme from '60s British TV show -- something that would've topped the UK charts for weeks.  OMG! it was Jack Nitzsche! So the Spector connection is there.

How could we forget "Wipe Out!"

TANC of the Day: I'm listening to CBS-FM and they're playing "Wipe Out" -- in honor of the stock market being down over 200 points. Yikes.

I only heard the question for the bonus segment before a cow orker interuption, not the tune or what Fogheads might have answered.  But I seriously wanted to call in and answer "Beach Blanket Scrabble!" 

Just for fun.   :P

Not sorry I missed this.  But the Turtles -- who started out as a surf-rock band -- did a parody-ish song called "Surfer Dan" and a serious surf instrumental called "Buzzsaw" on their Battle of the Bands LP.

this is so cool.  I'm going to be busy all day, so unless this gets played at 8:00, I'll miss it.  Miserlou, New York's, Surfer Joe, Wipeout, Surfer Girl, Surfer Bird, and the Lonely Surfer are all BOS in my book!  Also, as I remember it back in 7th grade, I remember Surfer Joe being the flip side of Wipeout.  I loved that tune!
