KVR August - Beach

[offthewall]

 
Went a bit silly this month again.
Theme is: A Day at the Beach / Beachsongs Only
so I thought I would pick up on that 'surf' style that we had fun with here, a couple of years back.

Beach Party
I been working all week
In that office suit
The weekend’s come around now
And I just want a hoot
(chorus)
   Tell your friends to come with us
   Everything will be all right
   When we get that party started
   On the beach on Friday night

Pass the word around to all the
Guys and gals you know
Get on down to Pebble Beach
We’ll put on such a show
(chorus)
You guys can bring your sisters and
Your girlfriends and your wives
Cos the more you bring will guarantee
The best night of your lives
(chorus)
The guitar boys will be there
Cousin Joey’s got the drum
Be sure to bring some food and drink
To make that party hum.
(chorus)
(chorus)

...a HOOT, indeed...

Although I don't seem to have time to enter the KVR contests lately, I still keep an eye on what's there, and quite honestly this is the only entry that really says 'beach' to me

[offthewall]

 
Thanks for quick comments, both.

This was, indeed, another of those 'get it started - get it finished' pieces. I'm really struggling to find music time these days, but always up for a challenge 

Will ... you may not have time to enter but that doesn't stop you voting.  I came LAST last month

Definitely a period piece tune...circa 1960-ish...works for me!

The only thing missing here is a poster of Annette, Frankie and a surfboard!

Great song – Two thumbs up!

Thanks for the kind comments, Mario ...

goes right over the head of an old Brit like me.
Don't have a clue what you're on about, mate.

Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon stared in a few, well actually way to many, B-grade beach and surfing movies like this one, Beach Blanket Bingo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nk3ZN3dSeDk

If you either missed them or didn’t know about them well that’s a good thing!  You didn’t miss much, but that is just my opinion.
