Dick Dale & The Del Tones "Misirlou" 1963

[thesparkwhowalks]

I have recently become a big, big fan of American International Pictures’ Beach Party series. Are they problematic? Yes. Are the only black people the musical guests? Also yes. Is there a horribly racist native american stereotype in the seventh one? Still yes. But they’re light comedies that are excuses for rock n’ roll, attractive people of both major genders shaking their asses in swimsuits, slapstick comedy, and some light wordplay from stars of yesteryear (relative to the early 60s). And I detect an influence on the (also somewhat problematic at times) original House Party movies of the 90s, of which I am also quite fond. Highly recommend.

Gay side-note: I happened to watch Muscle Beach Party on the first day of Pride Month. The oiled-up bodybuilders were the sexiest goddamned things in the flick....except for the one who was a dead ringer for a young Alex Jones.

Beach please

You like The Beach Boys? Their early work was a little too Dick Dale & His Del-Tones imitation for my taste. But when Surfer Girl came out in '63, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. They’ve been compared to The Surfaris, but I think The Beach Boys have a far more bitter, smartly adolescent sense of humor. In '66, The Beach Boys released this; Pet Sounds, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "God Only Knows". A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of romance and the importance of faithfulness. It's also a personal statement about the band itself. HEY PAUL!

(honestly the preview does not do this song justice at all, one of my favourites)

i don't have spotify but i Did leave my Southern Culture on the Skids CD playing on loop in my car for like a week straight but I didn't notice because the volume was turned all the way down, so if there was a wrapped for CD players then "Plastic Seat Sweat" would probably top my most played list.

followed by "Taco Wagon" by Dick Dale and his Del Tones bc i can't not play that song 15 times in a row
