Never boring. Back in the 60’s I was a go go girl and the closing tune the group played was Wipeout!

Totally Rad Man! Awesome snippet into a great time in my life. Cheer's John V

Thanks!!! What a time. What an amazing time to be a kid.

Wipe out was not just a surfing music icon, it was one of the tunes that every drummer had to learn his part (that rhythm is dominate through out rock music) and every guitar player also had to learn. It is the second or third tune I learned, after Walk Don't Run. At the beginning you showed a bucket T hot rod with clear valve covers. On the breather cap there is a logo, which I instantly recognized, that of Mr. Gasket Co. As I am sitting here i am looking at that logo on a very rare Mr. Gasket Collectable. It is a pocket manicure set (Knife) given to employees as a Christmas gift in 1974, I was at that time the guy (1of 3 ) that actually made the gaskets. So todays video has 2 special places in my heart, thanks for making this day just a tiny bit better. ;)

@@ToyManTelevision If you used gaskets from 1973 to about 1977 you have a good chance of having had them made by little old me. I don't remember the number series for the ford engines any more, (No. 253 seems to ring a bell) but the 300 series were for GM. At one time I made 90K No. 350 exhaust gaskets (small block Chevy) a month (4 at a time). It took almost a week.

So I went to bed after seeing your Rat Fink video. In the morning my wife said we'd lunch with her teacher friends both active and retired like her. Met them near our house and off to a restaurant near there. Arrived at a fantastic retro place we didn't know existed and had a fine lunch. Then next door to a coffee shop we also didn't know and standing at the front door was Rat Fink! A 58 GMC pickup in old patina next to him. VW's in various state of rebuild all over the place. I did my best to explain Rat Fink to our younger Thai friends and posted this video.

1962. I was just one year graduated from high school. Now, doesn't this revelation make me feel very old?

Found the video by virtue of "the algorithm", was def a good video to watch and not boring at all, just the right balance between history and brevity

Awesome, the days of wearing Rat Fink T shirts to school, Big Daddy ruled! Real music, played on real instruments, by real people, it doesn't get any better than that!

Went crusing all over socal including hollywood blvd. Those were the fun days I still have hot rods and never grew up.....

I cruised Van Nuys boulevard. When I was in town which was often. These guys were just outa middle school!!! 15 years old! Playing three gigs a night on the weekends. On a major label. Had cool surf wagons. But NO DRIVERS LICENSE! Because they were 15 years old! And here we are in 2022 and only one is still alive, on the road playing car shows and other gigs. His whole life on the road playing gigs! Amazing. I had a 67 mustang GT. Sold it to buy a Dodge Challenger. 440. I was an idiot. So in 1984 I found a replacement 1967 mustang GT. This time a GT500!! Which I rodded. Thing has about 500 HP. And gets 8 miles per gallon at $5.00 per gallon…. Oh well. I only put about three tank fulls through it every year so no big deal.

Awesome!

My dad grew up in long Beach he had a 55 Ford wagon for his first car his other was a 1964 black on black goat 389 6 speed 2 double barrel carbs he used to do burnouts and stuff in the high school parking lot there at Long Beach Jordan high school lol dad and his cousin would ride around in it. Sadly he got rid of it before going overseas for Vietnam. Today it would be worth thousands $$$ he passed away at 67 in 2013.

cool it tis!

A classic song. It's simple, just 12 bar blues in a surf style but still iconic. I'd never heard Surfer Joe before so just checked it out. The chorus is also 12 bar blues, so it follows the same chord sequence as Wipe Out! Ha!
