The title comes from a very terrible 80's 'B' Movie about ... well surfing nazis.
Again - no intention for it to sound like authentic '60s - I think trying to freeze a style of music at a moment in time is a boring exercise.
Nevertheless, nasty fuzz guitar was actually a surf thing - as in 'The 2,000 Pound Bee' by the Ventures, so I got a bit of that in there.
It makes a good ringtone - maybe that should be the next competition...

Big smile as always. Catchy, fun, unpretentious.

Perhaps a tad more throw away than some of the other songs I have heard from you estreet? I don't mean this in a bad way. It just seems a little "lighter" of tone. Cheekier.

And yes, plenty of high mid for a catchy ring tone. Although I set my phone to "ring ring". Can't stand the things myself!

It's one of the FX samples in Garageband

im a sucker for this kind of stuff in fact its the only instrumental music i want to listen to
it was good but a bit unspecial & i always think instrumentals have to be blindingly catchy to compete with songs......& this didnt have that magic ingredient......sorry :)
Tell me Im wonderful & I ll be nice to you :)

I kinda liked it in one way but then didn't really get anything from it if you know what I mean.

Just... an average feeling that made me not want to remember any of it at all. Tinam is right, there's no magic.

I mean it's all technically good and stuff.

Maybe it's just not my thing and am only just finding out  :)

It's a pleasure to listen to your skilful guitar playing.  This is a very polished recording.  It's great to hear you specialising in  a style of music that you're very passionate about.

Well done all 'round! :)

Best wishes

Paul

I can see this fitting in any 60's B-movie! No problem at all! Nice tune and catchy guitars!
