Little Pattie - He's My Blonde Headed Stompie Wompie Real Gone Surfer Boy.1964 Aussie hit . by the songwriting team of Joe Halford and Jay Justin
A shy 15-year-old called Patricia Amphlett managed to make an impression on the Australian music scene "Little Pattie's" song, "He's My Blonde Headed Stompie Wompie Real Gone Surfer Boy", was only kept out of the number-one spot on the charts by who else but The Beatles.
Just for the historical music record, this hit sixties song was not written by Jay Justin alone as credited. It was written in 1963 by the songwriting team of Joe Halford and Jay Justin, as was the flip-side "Stompin' at Maroubra." Joe Halford, former general manager of EMI publishing Australia, also produced this double-sided hit, along with sixties classics for Jay Justin such as "Proud of You," and "Reminiscing", which Halford and Justin also co-wrote. Thank you for posting!

Oh get over yourself, TheCtrlr! America isn't the only country with a surfing culture and songs written about surfing. If people in a certain continent in the NH (gosh; just say it--Australia) enjoyed this song and have fond memories of it, then let 'em have it. Afterall, It's just an itsy, bitsy, teeny, weeny song for God's sake...

@shmuli9 In a sense, Australia invented surf music

@possessivetoast Diane Ray, Linda Scott, Marcie Blaine, any of the early 60s US and Canadian female singers... (Though I suppose that whole "beach sound" thing was popular in Australia, too...

I just encountered this title today in a book on surfing history, and had a difficult time believing this could have been an actual recorded song.
This YouTube posting, of course, proves that the song really did exist. The "stompie wompie" part, as can be heard, gets a little garbled as Little Pattie has to rush through the lyrics.
