Come on let's cruise ya got nothin' to lose
So come on let's cruise ya got nothin' to lose
So come on let's cruise ya got nothin' to lose
So come on

Hey baby come on
Come on let's cruise ya got nothin' to lose
So come on let's cruise ya got nothin' to lose
Baby come on

Now get yourself in gear
Oh baby come on
Still cruisin' after all of these years
Hey girl let's go for a spin
Hop in my hot rod and do it again

You've got a greenhouse effect on me
I know a secret spot
Paradise by the sea
We'll find a place to park
That's kinda cool after dark

We'll take a trip on up to the lake
Down by the river
Where we can make out
On the island

Wake up on the cape
Punch up yor favorite staion
Toss in your favorite tape
When we go cruisin'
Well everything is all right

Come on let's cruise ya got nothin' to lose
Baby when we go cruisin' now

Baby put your top down
Parade around down town
People trying to cool down
Party all summer long

Come on let's cruise ya got nothin' to lose
So come on let's cruise ya got nothin' to lose
Baby come on

Now get yourself in gear
Baby baby come on
Still cruisin' after all of these years

Everybody got a favorite spot
Where they like to come a lot

When we go cruisin' well everything is all right
Come on let's cruise ya got nothin' to lose
Baby when we go crusin' now

People dancin' in the sand
Rockin' to a reggae band
Lovers walkin' hand in hand
Party all summer long

Come on let's cruise ya got nothin' to lose
So come on let's cruise ya got nothin' to lose
Baby come on

Now get yourself in gear
Baby baby come on
Still cruisin' after all of these years

Come on let's cruise ya got nothin' to lose
So come on let's cruise ya got nothin' to lose
Baby come on

Now get yourself in gear
Baby baby come on
Still cruisin' after all of these years

Come on let's cruise ya got nothin' to lose
So come on let's cruise ya got nothin' to lose
Baby come on

Now get yourself in gear
Baby baby come on
Still cruisin' after all of these years

@Erik T The Closest thing to the original was when they did the 50th. Anniversary Tour which included Brian Wilson and David Marks along with Al Jardine, Mike Love and Bruce Johnston. Still, without Carl and Dennis it just wasn’t the same.

When this and Kokomo came out, everyone was amazed the The Beach Boys were staging a modern comeback after 20 years. Now, that "modern comeback" is 30 years ago. Where does the time go?

Gumboot Zone Homestly, if the pop music stage was more varied today we could have easily seen That’s Why God Made the Radio make a sizeable dent in the chart just a couple years ago. The Beach Boys are timeless.

Carl's singing and 12 string guitar playing make this song. He also looks so cool. He wore a lot of black in the 80s when the others were wearing summer white until the end of his life. Boy I miss him and Dennis!

There were 36 Corvettes in the video, spanning each year from 1953 to the then-current 1989 model. There were all given away to one person as part of a publicity stunt for VH1, for which this music video was made. The same group of Corvettes were auctioned off just this year, having sat abandoned basically since the filming of this video.

@Kill Dem T 51 is not young, but it's too young to die. The AVERAGE lifespan of an American male is currently 73.4, which, coincidentally is almost exactly the age he would be now, had he lived. He could have had a lot of happiness and played a lot more great music in those 22 years.

Brian produced Pet sounds which almost destroyed the Band. While he was a genius he was to obsessed with trying to compete with the Beatles.

Mike wanted to stick with the original sound while Brian wanted to go down the route of experimental music. You cannot just blame Mike for what happened. Drugs had a big part in it as well.

In the Summer of '89, VH-1 was having a promotion. I forgot what it was for, but the winner would receive 36 Corvettes--from '53 to '89. That's why the cars have VH-1 front plates. I wonder who won.
