1963年的今天Jan and Dean的Surf City在排行榜上開始連續二週獲得冠軍,這首歌是由The Beach Boys的主唱Brian Wilson作曲,而且The Beach Boys還替Jan and Dean擔任伴唱。
Jan and Dean是1960年代初期流行的Surf-pop-rock「衝浪搖滾」合唱團,除了這首Surf City之外,1966年The Beach Boys在排行榜上獲得第2名的Barbara Ann則由Jan and Dean的Dean Torrence擔任主唱,這個二重唱另一名團員Jan Berry已於2004年因中風猝死(62歲)。
Jan and Dean在歷年暢銷歌星排行榜獲第178名,與Beach Boys的第19名差很多,但也在流行歌壇歷史留名。
Surf City
Two girls for every boy
I bought a '30 Ford wagon and we call it a woody
(Surf City, here we come)
You know it's not very cherry, it's an oldie but a goody
(Surf City, here we come)
Well, it ain't got a back seat or a rear window
But it still gets me where I wanna go
And we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun
Ya, we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun, now
Two girls for every boy
You see they never roll the streets up 'cause there's always somethin' goin'
(Surf City, here we come)
You know they're either out surfin' or they got a party growin'
(Surf City, here we come)
Well, with two swingin' honeys for every guy
And all you gotta do is just wink your eye
Ya, we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun
Ya, we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
Ya, we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun, now
Two girls for every boy
And if my woody breaks down on me somewhere on the surf route
(Surf City, here we come)
I'll strap my board to my back and hitch a ride in my wetsuit
(Surf City, here we come)
And when I get to Surf City I'll be shootin' the curl
And checkin' out the parties for a surfer girl
And we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun
Ya, we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
Ya, we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun, now
Two girls for every
Two girls for every boy
