the best songs ever

[Eric the Green]

I knew this hit from Jan-Feb 1964 when we went over to the beach-boardwalk in Santa Cruz 1964 and watched the kids have fun fun fun there. The guitar and organ riff is famous, and very cool I thought. Later it became the theme song for the beach-boardwalk itself, used in all their commercials. Maybe the song has helped raise the prices so that you have to be a multi-millionaire to move here now, as the video above relates. But I visited the boardwalk recently, and it's doing just fine with lots of young kids of all ethnicities that don't look like millionaires' kids to me. Not too many lusty teenagers dancing on the beach there now, though. Of course, there's lots of little old motels and hotels just up the street.
