Surfin' Fun Quiz

Quiz Time

Actually it is remarkable how many surf songs do not have lyrics. Many of the best are pure instrumentals. Fortunately some do. Can you tame this montage of wild surf songs? (and yes, I’m pretty sure I got it right this time J.H.!)

Well don't you know about the bird? Well, everybody knows that the bird is the word!
We're loading up our Woody with our boards inside and headin' out singing our song. We'll all be gone for the summer.  We're on safari to stay. Tell the teacher we're surfin' and baby go catch some rays on the sunny surf and when you catch a wave you'll be sittin’ on top of the world. You can do the tricks the surfers do, just try a "Quasimodo" or "The Coffin" too (why don't you).

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-a, wipeout!
He woke up screaming here, he needs more oxygen to breathe. Help him up hold him down
like a freight train it's bearing down again he's got holy water in his lungs help him up. Hung velvet overtaken me. Dim chandelier awaken me to a song dissolved in the dawn - Little surfer little one, made my heart come all undone. You know they never roll the streets up 'cause there's always somethin' goin'.

Can you figure out the Songs and Artists in this surf montage?

I always like a good challenge Dave - let me dust off my surf board and get my thinking cap on!

Excellent! I had to throw something in totally obscure to see if you could do it cause I liked the lyrics fit. You still found it. I am impressed.
