Yes, thank you. I know of Billy Murray’s version. My great uncle and his brother, also a songwriter, wrote for the Ziegfeld Follies, especially for Fannie Brice.

“Surf music gave birth to punk/skate rock.....lots of bass guitar...”

I’d agree. My sister said once that the Beach Boys were sort of the precursors of punk music.

[Strk321]

And still do. Mick can put guys half his age to shame.

[Strk321]

Paul McCartney can’t and the Bee Gees couldn’t and probably lots of others too.

“So John kept wanting to write songs that required two drummers and I’d protest ‘But we only have one drummer!’”

— Ringo Starr

“YES”

Kinda of amazing since one of the original band members came to several FR rallies.

[Absolutely Nobama]

They sure were. Lots of bass guitar, the hallmark of California punk/skate rock.

No AARP for Mick!
