When 10,000 biceps go around 5,000 bikinis...you know what's gonna happen! A Muscle Beach party!
Brian Wilson and his songwriting partners Roger Christian and Gary Usher contributed to the 1964 film soundtrack, writing "Surfer's Holiday" among others. "Surfer's Holiday" sounds like something The Beach Boys might have recorded for Shut Down, Volume 2. The recently passed ex Mouseketeer, Annette Funicello , may have had a thin voice but as Tom Hibbert wrote in his book, The Perfect Collection, "when it came to a corny beach party anthem the beauty's tones were unbeatable".
Annette's Muscle Beach Party remains THE classic summer soundtrack for the beach and dune buggy set.
