Jan & Dean - Ride the Wild Surf free for downloading

Played this song over and over till I almost wore out the record.  8th grade know wheels to be had to make it to Santa Cruse, But one could still dream, I had my side walk Surf-en.  

Thumbs up if you hopped on you mom's ironing board when you were little and heard this song on the radio.

Waxed up and ready ...

F-in awesome production...it's like they captured the sound of being totally wiped out by a rogue wave you never saw coming and you just get swept along by it all...and when you finally get up, you wanna do it all over again....

what a relief this is from the usual track of broken heart or love forever and ever songs.

Saw this movie at the drive-in the month it came out. From the back seat of my very young parents car of course. I was really lucky that my parents were so young bcuz they went to see all the cool movies like this. I was 7 years old and remember it very well. My mom was 23 and my dad 25. We lived in the center of the Hot Rod-Surfing craze, LA-Orange County. Since my dad was a scuba diver we were at the beach constantly and I learned how to ride the wild surf at 8 years old. Jan & Dean were my favorite singers. I always liked them more than The Beach Boys. I liked their personalities better and I thought they had much cooler songs. The Beach Boys never had anything like Dead Man's Curve. I saw Jan & Dean live 13 times and was invited by Dean to attend a special celebration with Richard Hatch and Bruce Davison in Hollywood at a small club. The last time I saw Jan he invited me to hang out with him and Dean and Papa Do Run Run in their dressing trailer. Two of the super nicest guys I've ever met.

It has everything!

Jan & Dean belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They helped to create that California surf and hot rod sound while creating music that changed history. They had many hits and had a historical comeback. There are acts in the Hall that have not done half of what Jan & Dean have done. Come on Hall of Fame, get it right. Include Jan & Dean. 

This was probably the best surfin' movie as well, great footage of surfers, and a little genuine drama, and the song is just perfect.

The production on this track was a crowning achievement.

As a young girl I went to the movie theatre with a girl friend to see the movie and I positively drooled over handsome Tab Hunter and Fabian in the movie. It was a great movie and a great song and to me it still is. Jan and Dean at their best.

Ride the Wild Surf along with The Anaheim, Azuza, and Cucamonga Sewing Circle, Book Review and Timing Association is the reason Jan Berry was a musical genius.

"Ride, Ride, Ride the Wild Surf.....Rid, Ride, Ride the Wild Surrrrf….Gotta Take the One Last RIIIIIDE..!!"

Wrecking Crew were the players on this recording and mostly all the Jan and Dean recordings. drummers were Hal Blaine and Earl Palmer.

if anyone happens to holdsome kind of memorial at my death I ant this song played.Please, no old school funerals.

Shelley Fabares brought me here---I love her as a blonde, brunette, redhead, ...... whatever.......! Hint: She was in the film and on the cover of the LP.

Always my favorite in one of the Corvettes....

Why don't they include this mono version on Spotify? This is the rightful way to hear this.
