Two girls for every boy! Oh, did this one by Jan and Dean from July 1963 ever popularize surfing as a way of Southern California life. They crossed paths with Brian Wilson, who wrote the first part of the song. Thinking he’d never finish, Brian had Jan Berry take over the writing. The Beach Boys’ manager (and the Wilson brothers’ dad) Murry was furious, thinking his son had given away a sure #1. Murry was right, but Brian was happy for his friends’ success. A total Wrecking Crew effort with Glen Campbell on guitar; Hal Blaine and Earl Palmer both played drums.
