This is the first song I learned to play on my drums in 1967 at the age of 13. I went on to fame and fortune playing in a rock band up and down the streets within walking distance. When I met my girlfriend in 1969, I knocked on her parents doors doing the drum solo with my knuckles. They thought I’d never amount to anything but I fooled them! I married their daughter and we’ve celebrated 51 years so far.

Sometimes my phone will make a list I have listened to frequently.Sometimes I just ask Google to find songs from a certain group. Keep on keeping on. I am 67 and I am reminded in the comment section how the record playing is natural raw talent and no auto tune. Good luck.

This song was quickly written in the recording studio to provide a B side to a 45 record. It took about 30 minutes to go from no idea for a song to what became a hit.
It was written by The Surfaris, not The Ventures, but it was a hit in a short time. Everyone, including The Ventures, couldn't help but love it.

The Surfaris were teenagers, still in high school when they got together and started playing. After some months, they wrote one song, Surfer Joe, and practiced playing it for a while before deciding they should record it. They got money to pay for the studio time from one of their mothers. It cost about $4000.00 in todays money, and she wasn't rich. After they got their one song on tape, the recording engineer told the boys he was ready to record their second song to put on the B side of the record. They said they didn't have one. He told them he could put Surfer Joe on both sides, or they could come up with another song right there.
The drummer, Ron Wilson, started pounding the rhythm we all know, and the other guys came up with the guitar and bass parts in about 10 minutes. They ran through it a couple more times and had it recorded.
The bass player, Pat Connolly, didn't own a bass at the time, and he'd only played guitar before that. He borrowed a bass just to use at the recording studio. He obviously picked it up very quickly.
They didn't have a name for it, so they brainstormed for a bit, and were headed another direction when the father of one of the kids brought in a piece of thin plywood and broke it next to a microphone. They realized that sounded like a breaking surfboard, and their manager gave the crazy yell, and hollered, "WIPE OUT!" The engineer spliced the tape to put the breaking board sound, and the yell, at the beginning of the song.

I had similar experiences with music throughout my childhood.

Of course, I be was listening to my dad's vinyl, in a "vacuum" devoid of outside influences. I didn't hear it on the radio, and mobody told me what to like. And yet, the songs and bands that captured me were also smash hits.

Wipeout and Walk don't Run birth fascinated me. Another one for me was BOC "Don't Fear the Reaper".

I only discovered that they were popular songs later. I think that says something about great music.

@punchinker

+adityakumardsv Quite correct. Pop in the 50s and 60s had form, originality,skilled musicianship, beginnings, endings, harmony, and (often) melody. Today's pop has all but seven of those features.

@Midnight_Metro

+Nick Hobart Originality? Harmony? Melody? This song is almost entirely the same melody being looped. I fail to see how it's "superior" to music today.

@FirstUsedBooks

8y↑48

+Omegis theunyielding You're right about the melody being looped, but that's the case for most songs then or now. What this one has, instead of a synthetic drum most usually found nowadays, is two very talented drummers riffing off each other and complementing rather than competing with each other. Can you think of any modern group that has that?
