I have been trying to track this song down since 1962. Bruce Brown the Surf movie maker took it along with all my Chantay and 15 other .45 records for his surf movies. I left to surf Hawaii and never saw this wonderful song again....until today. God bless whoever posted it.
You, my friend, get it with a capital I T. When I did this, the pavement, the bricks, the street lights, the graffiti, the moon and the stars all bent to my will as my foot eased into the pedal. At the same time, they seemed to smile and wave as I passed by.
For a similar, yet unique experience, try it with Link Wray's Genocide. The slow sway pulls the city action into slow motion around you. Every walk turns into a strut. Every scene turns into a snapshot of city cool.
With this rumbling out of your open windows, pull up to a stranger at a red light, coolly stare them down, light a smoke while never leaving their gaze, then give them the universal hand signal for "Let's drag". Peel off at green. Granted, unless they're particularly with it, they'll have no idea what just happened, but they'll know the coolest cat on the street that night just passed them by.
Hey! This was my uncle Dan Rains' band! They opened for Jerry Lee Lewis a few times and they must have been based out of Memphis Tenn. Uncle Dan is from Pangburn Arkansas.

I was in a band named the Tarantulas in the 90's but it was punk rock. I should have known that the name had already been taken!
