Wow! This is really memories to us of the mid-sixties (age) and from the early sixties. I was a bouncer at the Pavalon.

I don't believe that "trippin" had any lsd connotation at that time. It was just a bit before Tim Leary.

The header at the top right says that "Trippin'" was only released as a single. I believe it was actually on his first album, "Dick Dale & the Deltones" I wonder if "Mr. Peppermint Man" or "Sloop John B" is still around on You Tube?

you are correct, it did appear on his first album

What did trippin mean when he wrote the song?

Indeed, on his first album, but not self titled, it's "Surfers' Choice".

I lived in Balboa, Newport Beach and a block away was the "Rondevous Ball Room" on the beach where Dick Dale played every week end. He filled the big ball room and this was his most popular song at the time. The ball room burned down over 40 years ago and was replaced with "The Rondevous Condominiums". But in the early 60s We surfed all day then danced all night. At the time he was already a living legend but only in Southern Calif.
