The song "Surfin' Safari" by The Beach Boys, written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love, is an ode to the burgeoning surf culture of the 1960s. It captures the excitement and adventure of going on a surfing safari with friends, exploring different beaches and experiencing the thrill of riding the waves. The lyrics depict a group of surfers loading up their woody (a classic station wagon) with their surfboards early in the morning and setting off on their surf adventure.
The song celebrates popular surf spots such as Huntington Beach, Malibu, Rincon, and the islands. It mentions the activities that take place at these sites, like shooting the pier (riding a wave through the space between two supporting pilings of a pier) and walking the nose (balancing on the front of the surfboard). The lyrics evoke a sense of camaraderie and excitement among surfers, inviting the listener to join in the fun and adventure.
The repetitive chorus of "Come on baby wait and see, yes, I'm gonna take you surfin' with me, Come along baby wait and see, yes, I'm gonna take you surfin' with me" emphasizes the singer's enthusiasm to share the joy of surfing with their loved one. It suggests that surfing is not just a sport or hobby but also a way of life, something to be experienced and shared with others.
