While Hollywood is peddling surfing penguins to unsuspecting kids, we here at WFMU are all too aware of the dangers of surfing. And despite the success of shills of the surfboard industry like the Beach Boys, there were a few socially conscious musicians whose voices could not be suppressed. Here are two versions of the song "Little Dead Surfer Girl" which should have been a hit back in the day. But alas, we know who controls the media...
The Original: Incredible Broadside Brass Bed Band - Little Dead Surfer Girl [MP3]
The Much Louder And Therefore Superior Cover Version: King Uszniewicz and the Uszniewicztones - Little Dead Surfer Girl [MP3]
You can read more about the Incredible Broadside Brass Bed Band here, and about King Uszniewicz and the Uszniewicztones here.
Here is a link to me, Buzz Bomber, and the M-80s playing Little Dead Surfer Girl in Denver at The Cricket on the Hill in the Early 2000's. This was a real barn burner of a song, further fueled by Yours Truly stripping down to a pink tutu to finish the show. check it out
