Theme for Young Lovers and Wonderful Land. In the last 5 years I've become quite a fan of The Shadows.

"Penetration" and "Pipeline" will always be two of my favorites. And for slow tunes "Sleepwalk" and Fleetwood Macs "Albatross"

Not too pertinent here but I do play some gypsy jazz. Django's "Nuages" is like the "Walk,Don't Run" tune of gypsy jazz.

Pipeline never gets old. Other most-fun-to-play songs: Moment of Truth, Ali Baba, Rumble.

The Atlantics "Bombora" is always fun to play, & goes over really well with most audiences.

My favorite is the rhythm part to "Yozora No Hoshi" because I get to use my vibrato pedal to its full effect and there are lots of glissandos!

"Miserlou" definitely gets people fired up and is familiar (as far as surf songs go), but I personally love playing "Mr. Moto." Second would probably be "Ghost Riders" as it lets me slow things down and use the Vibroverb's thick tremolo.

Another vote for Miserlou. Everybody loves it and it begs for hot-dogging!
