Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but I just watched last Sunday's "Family Guy" and the entire plot revolved around "Surfin' Bird" - the record was played at least five times, the Trashmen were named and there was a great scene of Peter Griffin going epileptic to the "bo-bo-ha-ha-ha" bit. Excellent! Here's some highlights on youtube:

I also like to think that all early 60's fender equipment is happy to be playing surf music again. After all, its the music it was meant to play.
