oh, i forgot... "down by the river" by Neil Young and perhaps, "Hey Hey My My (out of the blue and into the black)" by Neil Young and "Cortez, the Killer" by good old Neil Young and maybe... "substitute" by the who and "i got erection" by turbonegro and "Corona" by the Minutemen and "Plateau" by the Meat Puppets like I said, though, words just don't seem to make any of it any better... |

okay... I'll stop with the gloom and doom... "Surfin' Bird" would be the best ever! "The bird bird bird...the bird is the word..." and "Poppa Om Mau-Mau" ...cause they're it's the same song... and "Shout!"... |

all depends on what type of vibe you wanna go for. also a few Calexico songs have a great vibe to them, that would work with surf. But I'm sure many people wouldn't recognize the songs. Jeff(bigtikidude) —Jeff(bigtikidude) |

Definitely. The other two would have to be "Our of Our Tree" and the Replacements' "Raised in the City." -Warren —That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it. |

"shakin all over" is a great one: blue hawaiians do a wicked cover of that one on the "savage night" cd... (way better than johnny kidd and the pirates original and the who live at leeds versions put together!) |

Anyone interested can check out our version of the Larry & The Loafers original: The Daytonas : Let's Go To The Beach (Early 90's live recording) I think we tore down the stage at the end... — |

Those are all great tunes. We don't do any covers right now, but if I had my way. It would be The Surfing Dead (The Cramps) There are a tone more, but these are in the top 10. Redd Tyde |
