Honey, while the stars are still shining
Wake up, would you like to go with me
Honey, take a run down to the beach
Oh momma, I wanna go surfin'
Oh momma, I don't care about nothing
Honey, he's moving into the big house
Remember when I was so very hopeless
Darling, he's gonna make it all better
Oh momma, I wanna go surfin'
Oh momma, I don't care about nothing
Down down baby down by the rollercoaster
Sweet sweet baby I'll never let you go

back as a freshman in high school, as I was discovering The Drums a whole 11 years ago, I was in a theater class and one of our projects was to choreograph and come up with a "music video". I chose this song and led the project with my classmates. It was a funny time, because no one would take theater back then, it was just for theater geeks and people who had left their electives for the last minute. I hated performing in that class, I wasn't even into theater. But when I was able to get all of my group coordinated with my idea, have them visualize everything I had envisioned, that was fascinating to me. We ended up getting the highest grade for the project, and everyone LOVED our little live music video and of course, they also loved the song.
