Ackkk! I just heard the Celine version over the Muzak at the store and had to run to my computer to hear this (correct!) version again to cleanse my brain!
These guys cover this song so well that it makes you almost think that it was supposed to be a cool instrumental surf tune in the first place and then Celine Dion messed it up by making it into a sappy ballad with lyrics.
The best version ever, due to its many merits (virtuoso playing, great arrangement), as opposed to those of the next best version (accordions, drunks singing in fake Russian accents, as used for the animutation "Can of Swedes") which is merely absurd.
i used to listen to this song when i was little all the time. it came out a little after the movie came out, and i was obsessed!!!

JAF nailed it. These guys are just killer, taking a throwaway ballad and making it a cool tune.

The only version of the song I like. That was awesome! A mix of Telstar, Ventures version, with her melody. Really good mix there!

They took that song and made it their own. I still remember them doing this song on Conan O'brian's show around 99 or 2000.
