Well, not exactly. The tune was indeed in that movie. The recording was not, but the statement didn't claim the recording. — Insanitizers! http://www.insanitizers.com Last edited: Sep 28, 2017 08:21:06 Top

The feel is very different from the main melody. In contrast, The Lively Ones' recording of Surf Rider was straight surf rock throughout. The Ventures have maintained that they are not a surf guitar band. This statement is consistent with their recording of Spudnik. Thanks to TuneFan I now know that The Ventures renamed Spudnik as Surf Rider in reaction to The Lively Ones. — Insanitizers! http://www.insanitizers.com Top

Roots, C&W sound, slower tempo for Spudnik (than Lively Ones). --The Ventures Spudnik off Mashed Potatoes And Gravy at 26:17 mark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mr8c4yQAyV8 --The Ventures Surf Rider off the Surfing release https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GVQJtJyrP0 --The Lively Ones Surf Rider https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soH7t6Mal3A In contrast, The Lively Ones' recording of Surf Rider was straight surf rock throughout. Definitely a different sound for the two groups. The Ventures have maintained that they are not a surf guitar band. This statement is consistent with their recording of Spudnik.
