Reminds me of Mike Love and Brian Wilson. Dean is always on point and Jan seems a little out of it LOL he missed a few lines and Dean tried to get him to focus LOL I love this song.
Jan & Dean's surf-pop song "Sidewalk Surfin' " was released on June 30, 1964, and was on the pop charts through the summer of '64, along with their other hit song "Ride The Wild Surf" in August. They were getting ready to promote their own line of Jan & Dean Skateboards. I had one.
"Sidewalk Surfin' " was written by Brian Wilson, Jan Berry and Roger Christian. Originally it was a Beach Boys song, "Catch A Wave".
From Dick Clark's American Bandstand in its last season on WFIL-TV in Philadelphia (You'll notice the kids are not dressed in hip California clothing), on August 22, 1964.
I don't think there's a bad hot rod \surfin record ever made that I didn't like! Why doesn't the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame respect Surf Rock as a legitimate genre
