Discussion Threads

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

“Not dead yet!”

I'm still playing around with trying to get an evokes California/lounge/beach/sixties soundtrack going.

So far I've got:

Caravan- 80 Drums Around the World
Surfer Girl- The Beach Boys
Telstar- The Tornadoes
Misirlou- Martin Denny
I Only Want to Be With You- Shelby Lynne (has a wicked nice lounge feel)
God Only Knows- The Beach Boys
If I Fell- Evan Rachel Wood (From Across the Universe

Suggestions?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Thanks Barb!

I Only Want to Be With You- Shelby Lynne (has a wicked nice lounge feel)

I'm curious about this version, because I *love* this song and firmly believe that nothing beats Dusty.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Barb, "Pipeline" by the Chantays may have the deadliest bass line ever. And a surf music set doesn't really feel complete without something by Jan and Dean, but I can't think of anything that really fits -- maybe "Dead Man's Curve."

And I mention "Beach Baby" by First Class not so much because it fits with the rest of your list, but because it's a great '70s surf sound record that deserves to be remembered. And it isn't.

Tep, can you play MP4s?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

but because it's a great '70s surf sound record that deserves to be remembered. And it isn't.

Pretty much the theme of the song. "Beach baby, beach baby / give me your hand / give me something that I can remember..."

Oooh-- "Pipeline!" Definitely works. I'm trying to stay away from a super uptempo surf feel here, but at the same time, some Jan and Dean does seem called for, doesn't it?

Heh-- just dug up the Ramsey Lewis version of "Hang On, Sloopy" although after watching the OSU/Texas game the other night, I'm not sure I'm ready to hear it again.

ETA: Teppy, the Shelby version is up at brawk.

You know I'm with you on the Dusty love, so I approached this with extreme skepticism, but I think the reason it works is because it's so different.
