Notes
-
- Domenic Priore says "the original version of this song, recorded by the Gambleres in 1959, is considered to be the very first surf record."
- The Beach Boys were the first group to cover this song, it was later covered by the Venturis, the Surfaris, and the Challengers.
- Track has one of the Beach Boys (presumably) barking like a dog. The predacessor to the canine coda which closes "Pet Sounds."
