"Sidewalk Surfin' " #25 12/5/1964

If this sounds like a Beach Boys song, you're 100% correct. Jan and Dean asked Brian Wilson to put new lyrics to the melody of "Catch A Wave" to capitalize on the new craze of skateboarding. Bet they never thought fifty years later the "fad" would still be here! Back then the boards were wooden and had metal wheels - and nobody wore helmets or padding. Trust me, my backside knows this firsthand.
