I was listening to "Beyond the Surf" (Tandems, Lost ledgends of Surf Guitar), and noted how remarkably the theme from "Galaxy Quest" matched nearly note for note. Presumably the Tandems version was written in the early 60s but never released, whereas David Newman gets credit for the 1999 film theme.
Some aging surf musician may have some royalties due maybe?
