Yeah, what a clip! This song is of course the same as The Beach Boys' "Catch a Wave".

@cb8034 It was part of a show from 1965.

Who had this song first Jan & Dean or The Beach boys?

[SixtiesPopGold3]

@josharniehtafc The Beach Boys.

[latexkat1]

this was amazing

Need to overdub the stereo track.

This video shows why they were called "The Crown Prince of Rock and Roll". What a shame they're not in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

This was one of my favorites! Good video! Looks like Jan and Dean were having a good time at the beach. I liked the Beach Boys, but these guys put out some songs that ruled dude!

@lunadagirl Jan and Dean were first AND better. They certainly had more on thier plate, both Jan and Dean were in college Jan being pre med and they still put out awesome songs and Jan being amazeing as a producer, songwriter etc. Can you image what they would have done if thier time hadnt been divided, have mercy.

@hammerbrother: And to return the favor - Dean sang lead on the Beach Boys' hit, "Barbara Ann".

@mcgeo52 Ha! Clay wheels? We actually started with metal wheels like cheesy roller skates. Now those things were dangerous! And yes, a pebble or seed pod from a tree spelled doom!

One thing about rewrites/covers. Though the BB and Jan & Dean were tight, in general if a band wants to cover a song they don't really need permission. As long as the royalties are paid, you can cover just about anything. Considering royalties were originally based around selling sheet music. In the old days before radio, the whole royalty business model was based around having other musicians play your music. Of course, things are different now.

Amazingly, this was filmed pretty much in one long take! Those guys were GOOD.

Another little-known fact: by the time of Jan's accident in 1966, he'd completed two years of medical school! As this video shows, he certainly was a risk taker.

Brian wrote Catch a Wave and to be nice he let Jan and Dean use it as well. Brian also helped Jan and Dean with Surf City, Dead Man's Curve, Drag City and Ride The Wild Surf. He helped write Surf City, he contributed vocals to the LP version of Dead Man's Curve, he sang background and some Falsetto on Surf City, Drag City and Ride The Wild Surf as well.
