Additional Infos | Brian: I started humming Chuck Berry's Sweet Little
Sixteen. And I Thought To Myself, 'God, what about trying to put surf lyrics
to the melody, like Chubby Checker's Twistin' USA. I was going with a girl
named Judy Bowles at the time. And her brother Jimmy was a surfer, and he
knew all the surfing spots. He made a list, and he didn't leave one out.
