Скачать или смотреть Jan and Dean: (WILSON - BERRY - TORRENCE) "Surf City" (1963)

This is the first surf song to reach #1 on the Hot 100.
Mostly written by Beach Boy Brian Wilson, who demoed the first verse and chorus for Jan and Dean while they were all at a party. More interested in recording "Surfin' U.S.A." with his own group, Brian gave "Surf City" to his two friends and they completed the lyrics.
Murray Wilson was angry that his son Brian gave away a #1 hit. Brian's later comment in TEEN BEAT magazine: "I was proud of the fact that another group had had a #1 track with a song I'd written ... But dad would hear none of it. ... He called Jan a 'record pirate'."
