The Beach Boys-"Surfin" Acoustic Demo 1961

Thank you my audiophile friend SGT (Join to see) for posting the the Beach Boys-"Surfin" Acoustic Demo from 1961 in honor of the fact that on September 15, 1961, a group from Hawthorne, California called The Pendletones attend their first real recording session at Hite Morgan's studio in Los Angeles.

Background " In the early 1960s, a group called The Pendletones adopted their name in honor of the surf uniform of the day: Pendleton shirts worn over tee shirts with khakis. The original lineup included brothers Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson, their cousin Mike Love, and friend Al Jardine. The Pendletones soon changed their name to the Beach Boys'

Lyrics
"Surfin' is the only life
The only way for me.
Now surf, surf with me

Bom Bom Dit Di Dit Dip
Bom Bom Dit Di Dit Dip
I got up this mornin' turned on my radio
I was checkin' on the surfin' scene
To see if I would go
And when the DJ tells me that the surfin' is fine
That's when I know my baby and I will have a good time

We're going surfin'
Bom bom dip di dit
Surfin'
Bom bom dip di dit
Surfin'
Bom bom dip di dit
Surfin'
Bom bom dip di dit
Surfin'
Bom bom dip di dit
Surfin'
Bom bom dip di dit
Surfin'
Bom bom dip di dit
Surfin'
Bom bom dip di dit

Surfin' is the only life the only way for me
Now surf
Surf with me
Bom bom dip di dit
Bom bom dip di dit

From the early morning to the middle of the night
Any time the surf is up the time is right
And when the surf is down to take its place
We'll do the Surfer's Stomp it's the latest dance craze

We're going surfin'
Bom bom dip di dit
Surfin'
Bom bom dip di dit
Surfin'
Bom bom dip di dit
Surfin'
Bom bom dip di dit
Surfin'
Bom bom dip di dit
Surfin'
Bom bom dip di dit
Surfin'
Bom bom dip di dit
Surfin'

Surfin'
Bom bom dip di dit
Surfin'
Bom bom dip di dit

Surfin' is the only life the only way for me
Now surf
Surf with me
Bom bom dip di dit
Bom bom dip di dit

Now the dawn is breaking and we really gotta go
But we'll be back here very soon that you better know
Yeah my surfer knots are rising and my board is losing wax
But that won't stop me baby cause you know I'm coming back

We're going surfin'
Bom bom dip di dit
Surfin'
Bom bom dip di dit
Surfin'
Bom bom dip di dit
Surfin'
Bom bom dip di dit
Surfin'
Bom bom dip di dit
Surfin'
Bom bom dip di dit

Surfin' is the only life the only way for me
Now come on pretty baby and surf with me

Bom bom dip di dit
Bom bom dip di dit
Bom bom dip di dit
Bom bom dip di dit
Bom bom dip di dit
Bom bom dip di dit"
