Ride The Wild Surf - Jan and Dean

This is the theme song from the 1964 film of the same name. I concocted this video to go along with it, parts of which I hope you find humorous (mainly the blue screen work used in the film.)

This is not Jan And Dean!

@enkidu1936 Oh gee, really? You just found that out? You're about 115 comments too late.

[fran9860]

this is not the original recording! GET IT RIGHT!

@fran9860

Uh, I think everybody here realizes that. Including me, and I made the video. A little late to the party are we? Never you mind though. Now, if you would learn to red the comments you wouldn't be here telling everybody something they've known for months. Now get that right.

Susan Hart is not a nun, Dolores Hart is. Susan married the head of AIP Pictures and later ran the company when he died.

@BeaSish

You are correct. It was Dolores Hart. You can find out more about her on my Movie Blog, Clyde's Movie Palace under the film Where The Boys Are.

In '63 I converted my grandmother's wooden ironing

board using my metal wheeled skates. Two wheels in

the front, six across the back. Extremely noisy and

lacked any lateral coefficient of friction, so it was like ball bearings on ice. Later converted it to a snowboard

with a rug screwed onto the top and added a one inch skeg. Worked great and I still have it.

Real music.

Real surf.

Thanks for the memories.

I saw this movie when it came out in 1964. I was 10 years old and the close-ups of the guys on their surfboards did not look so horribly phony as they do today. I'm glad for that.

I did not remember who played the character "Eskimo" and when I watched this clip, I thought I saw Robert Mitchum on a surfboard! Turns out it was his son James Mitchum, but what a resemblance! And hey, is Susan Hart cute or what!!!

@jimistreets1 lol! i haven't been to the beach in years now, but i just go to venice and santa monica and i like manahtan bch, because after about 11:30pm, you can take your dogs and let them run loose and the cops don't care.

[jimistreets1]

@m1kewithaone Yup! After the age of about 13 I went almost exclusively to San Clemente. Dana Point is really nice too. At Scumington, even in the mid-70's there were wanna-be "surf-thugs"', which we used to just laugh at. Now the punks actually carry guns! One thing has remained constant ever since the 60's...the girls are FREEKING STUPID!!

[grandmarazz]

I wish they would do a remake of the movie,

[m1kewithaone]

@jimistreets1 hell i'm white and i remember going to huntington beach in '75. they were so stuck up and concieded, and all blond hair, and so i only stayed about 2 minutes, and drove to dana point instead, where they were much friendlier and more fun!

[m1kewithaone]

@grandmarazz well, i was only 9 when i saw it, and it did well for me. i've always remembered this song, that's why i'm here tonight. ... did they re-make any surfer movies? i don't know...

@BeaSish She's Hot ! Or at least was .....
