Peace, Love and Freedom ... Live for the Surf, Live for the Sun

Sweet Sweet Song

The 'Sweet Sweet' Back Story...

Barrie wrote this for Annie, as one of her favourite bands is the Beach Boys.
He captures the vibe in the intro drumming of the Beach Boys 1964 version of the song
Papa Oom-Mow-Mow (originally by the Rivingtons in 1962). The sound of ‘old school’ surf music. Lovin’ it….

Sweet Sweet Lyrics

Chorus

Sweet sweet sittin’ on the beach in the summer
Sweet sweet like a juicy peach in the summer

Verse 1

We’ll be living in a sugar shack
Summer lovin’ and we won’t be back
We’re gonna live for the surf, live for the sun
Oo when Summertime comes

Chorus

Verse 2

We’ll be searching for the perfect wave
On an island where the palm trees sway
We’re gonna live for the surf, live for the sun
Oo when Summertime comes

Intro

Middle 8

All Summer long we’ll be in heaven
Walking on water, shooting the pipeline again ah….

Chorus

Verse 3

Me and Marley on my old guitar
By a fire underneath the stars
We’re gonna live for the surf, live for the sun
Oo when Summertime comes

Middle 8

Chorus repeats to fade out with ad libs

Out take - this verse was never used

We’ll be searching for the perfect wave
No one sayin’ how we should behave
We’re gonna do what we want
Won’t it be fun, when summertime comes
