That Sixties Music - The B-Side That Became The A-Side

- The recording business can be finicky. And surprising. You might think that you’re hit is going to be on the A side of the record. Sometimes, it just doesn’t turn off that way! 
Wipe Out was far and away the most played song on the jukebox for years, and all over the country. And the most finger drummed on school desks!
Absolutely! And dashboards 😂
Yep! Thanks for the view and comment!
I remember in the cafeteria, during lunch, guys trying to do it on the edge of their tables.
Finger drumming " Wipeout " in my Junior High School in the years of 1966 to 1967 , was a challenge , if not , a rite of passage , amongst non - musician males , as it was the only thing of that sort , that they could do ! I did NOT participate , as I was starting to really learn guitar playing !!!
@@MitchellMaichak-ze7mr I stuck to guitar starting at age 14 because it attracted GIRLS.
I remember in elementary school, 5th grade I believe, every guy in my class playing the Wipe Out drum roll before class. Someone one start us off with their best rendition of that manic laugh and then scream "wipe out". We let it rip. Most of us couldn't hold the beat. It didn't matter. We made a lot of noise.
Noise is what it’s all about! Our objective in the garage band was to be as loud as possible.
It's great to learn the back stories of the music we grew up with - even 60 years after the event!! I look forward to more tales.
That’s the idea, Thomas! Welcome aboard! Please help me spread the love and share the videos with your friends!!
I had no idea! 🤣 Everybody was playing the Wipeout Drum Part on our desktops at school! What a Boss Story! 🏄♂️ 😂
Thanks as always! Share this puppy!
I never knew it started as a B side!
I remember going to a wedding with my parents when I was really little, and getting all excited when the band did this song at the reception. 😄
I'm a year and a day younger than this song. 😄
Thank you for another great video! ♥️
(If you're ever wondering what songs to dive into.... I'd like to suggest Telstar, please. I love that song and that was always one of my dad's favorites. Just a suggestion! I'm happy hearing about all the music in my life! 😊♥️)
Hi and Thanks!
I will put Telstar in the research list. A lot of those songs that The Ventures ended up recording don’t have much background, but I investigate everything.
@@the_guitar_trooperThank you! I appreciate the effort!
And sorry that it sometimes takes me a bit to catch up. "Sane" and "peaceful" are not adjectives I would use to describe my life right now. However, "interesting", "ridiculous" and "busy" are definitely appropriate. 😄
Wow, great story!!
Glad you enjoyed it, Cindy! Good to see you on the channel again!
I used to dance to WIPEOUT when I was 14.... at s school dance they stared out my SHINDIG type dancing to the BEST SONG of that era...
Great story...thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching, Karen! Please help me spread the love 💕 by sharing the videos!!
Great video. Used to have wipeout as a ringtone.! ! Never knew about its origin. Thanks again for the fascinating story👍
Glad you enjoyed it, Ciara! Thank YOU for the view! Please share the videos for me!
I knew some of this story, but not all of it. Great stuff! Duane Eddy & the Rebels' 1958 recording , "Rebel Rouser", was a B-Side. Dick Clark ran out of things to play at a dance party, and flipped Duanes' A-Side, "Stalkin''", over....and a career was made!
I forgot all about that Duane Eddy track. I didn’t have one note about it. Thanks!
Fantastic story! At that time, a close friend of mine was one of the only drummers in our neck of the woods who could play that drum part! Great memories of a time long gone! 👍👍🥁🥁
We considered it to be the acid test for a drummer.
Great story! You really made it come alive! Surfer Joe was actually the hit in my home town.
Re Hung on You - Phil Spector was so annoyed with DJ's playing "Unchained Melody" over Hung On You, because it meant he, as a co-author, made less money from mechanical royalties, that he would ring up DJs and harrass and threaten them for not playing it.
It's impossible not to think that the conversation ended with the DJ saying "Yeah Phil? What are you gonna do about it? Shoot me?"
Your wit is timeless, Quince! Thanks a million for the view!
P.S. “Surfer Joe” made it to a dismal #62 in the U.S.
Worthy of a “bah-dah-bing,” @Foul_Quince. 🤣
Phil still made the royalties from sales; he just lost the radio royalties. Royalties for sales are paid for both sides of a record.
@@schuberttim Thanks for the post!
I loved dancing to this back in the day. Talk about being full of energy! I was very surprised when, year's later, the marching band my son was in at his high school played that during their half-time show at every home football game! No, I didn't embarrass him by getting up and dancing, LOL. I love the story and would have loved this video more if it also featured the music!
Ahhh. Dancing. Thanks for the view! Please help spread the love 💕 and share the videos!!
Thanks for thoroughly explaining the history of that song ~ I can remember picking up a pair of sticks back in 1964 (I was 14) and beating on our metal trash cans trying to play that drum solo and my mother yelling at me to knock it off ~ That was when I realized that I shouldn't become a drummer ~
Ha!
Thanks SO VERY MUCH for the view and comment! Please help me out and share the videos!!
I thought the drum solo was the greatest drum solo of all time.
@@larryambrose2660 ~ Yes ~ Back in the day ~ Me too ~
Wipe Out was my very first 45!! I’m not sure why but it had a beat and it stuck with you and I loved it and I was a huge Beach Boys fan as time went on, so it was kind of fitting that my first venture into the world of 45 records would be a surfer song! Thanks for the back story! I didn’t realize the whole history, but being not even 10 when I bought it, I had ventured into that brave new world of early 60’s music, never to look back! And I still have that 45!
Wow! What are ya gonna do with it? LOL
THANK YOU for the view! Please help spread the love 💕 and share the videos!!
I've been listening to that since I was a boy in the 60s and never knew any of that .Thanks.
Thank YOU for the view!
I wrote a time travel story where the main characters (from2022) attend a 1963 surf party. The music on the radio sets the mood throughout. Both of those songs were in the radio mix.
Yeah, baybeeee!
I watched this on my way out the door to the St. Paddy's day pub crawl. This was a fantastic way to get me in the party headspace. Thanks again, Guitar Trooper! I never knew any of this.
Hi Susan, good to see you again! Glad that you enjoyed it! Please help me out and share the videos!
Thanks for clearing up my understanding of back then…wife and I turn 80 very soon…I did digitalize a lot of back then.
Thanks for the view!!
Another great video! The band I was in in 1967 & '68, called The Ramrods, of course played Wipe Out too. We played AM Radio Top 40 hits and Wipe Out was a crowd favorite, but our drummer hated it LOL! Too much work! We also played Beach Boy songs and some Ventures tunes. When I became a Jimi Hendrix fan and listened to his first album "Are You Experienced", I chuckled when on the song "Third Stone From The Sun" the psychedelic Hendrix spoke the line, "...never hear surf music again...". But I was never too cool to appreciate that mostly cheerful & upbeat genre and I still do.
Great post! Thanks!
I remember so many cool band names back then. "Ramrods"😎...I love it!
If its any consolation, supposedly Dick Dale was a significant influence on Hendrix.
Thanks again for the view and the GREAT comment, Frank! Do me a favor and share this puppy!
The Horse by Cliff Nobles was originally supposed to be the “B” side of Love Is Alright. But when a Disc Jockey accidentally played The Horse, it became an instant hit and Love Is alright became the unplayed song.
How about THAT!
Link Wray recorded a song on his 1979 album Bullshot called “Switchblade” which was a Peter Gunn style instrumental. The intro as you described was reenacted with a menacing delivery by singer Robert Gordon whistling while walking with heavy heels before clicking open a switchblade and announcing “Switchblade”.
Wow. 1979 reconception
Wow, what a great story. Yes, I liked and also subscribed. What a great story. I remember this song well. Thank you for it's history... ✌
Thanks again for listening!!
On Edgar Winter's "Frankenstein" 45, "Free Ride" was on the B side.
I suppose it happened more often than we suspected! Thanks for the view, and the comment! Please share the videos if you can, it really helps the channel grow. Thanks again!
Everyone that played drums in the 60’s and 70’s played Wipeout!
Pretty much yeah
Interesting, I never knew the story behind the song. It's amazing country bands still play it especially when the crowd gets drunk enough and want to dance fast.
HA! That’s when you KNOW it’s good. LOL

I was in High School in mid sixties and like others in the comments, many school teachers were plagued by the Wipeout drum beat on the school desks. Had no idea of the back story, thanks for sharing that info.
Thanks for the view! Please share with your friends!!
I remember those times very well!! High School. I grew up in a surfing town (Ventura, CA) & we could sing all of the "surfing song"s of the day. Great memories! Thanks for the additional information about the Surfaris.

Very good story, well done..amazing that it was just made up in the studio,
Thanks for listening, David!
The DFS 45 runs almost 4 minutes! When DOT records picked it up two verses were cut for airplay. A shame since the uncut version is so much better.
Yeah. Cut to try for more airplay. Doggonnit
Surfer Joe was one of the reasons I went to Huntington beach. Thanks
How about that! Thanks for the view!!
Great story

A similar thing happened in England back in 1958, but a totally different out come. EMI signed a promising singer the 1st song (A side)to be recorded was a cover of an American song Schoolboy Crush. The producer asked the singer and his backing group, then called the Drifters if they had one of their own. Just so happened that Ian Samwell had written one on the bus, but only had the 1st verse done before they got to the studio . They liked it told them just to repeat the verse and poof wa la. Now, a guy who had a TV show called Oh Boy ( Jack Good) heard the record and wanted the singer on his show, but he wasn’t going to do the A side--He told EMI it had to be the B side. The song is called Move It and the singer is Cliff Richard. ( who at 83 is still recording and putting on concerts! He made it big everywhere in the world except here in the USA for some unknown reason other than he never wanted to spend 6 months here. His band the Drifters name was changed to the Shadows with various artists coming an and going until the final lineup. They had hits in Their own right. Cliff had got EMI to sign them eventually as well. When the band broke up in the sixties and Cliff went solo, they still got together for several reunion tours and special occasions. The band members had other things they wanted to do as well. Cliff and they guys made several memorable movies in the sixties as well. Cliff had several variety TV series and various west end London plays. So, the same kinda situation, but a whole different 7:38 outcome. Cliff was in his early years considered the British Elvis.
I’m a fan , if you couldn’t tell. I bought an album back in 82 was the 1st I ever saw of his over here and after that tried to find everything he ever recorded. Many a time I had to order from overseas. Now he has his own UA-cam channel.
Wow! GREAT POST!! Thanks!
I recall something similar with La Bamba and Donna.
Yep! Who would listen too a remake of an old folk song anyway? eh? eh? EH?
How about Cliff Nobles “Love Is Alright “and “The Horse. “ same song only one song has lyrics and the other song is an instrumental. A disc jock accidentally played The Horse which became the hit side unintentionally.
Excellent. Thank You.
Thanks for the view! I’m so glad that you enjoyed it! Please help spread the love and share with your friends!!
Great video. Very well presented. 👍
Thank you, Phil! 👍
That was a very interesting part of rock and roll history. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it, Wayne! Please share these for me!!
Very interesting story. I had never heard about that before. All those years I tapped on steering wheels, desktops, etc.…
One of my favourite songs from the 60s! (I was 6 when it was released). Oddly enough, I later played it in marching band (we did a whole program of 60s instrumental music).
How about THAT! Thanks SO VERY MUCH for the view and comment!
I'M A NEW SUBSCRIBER HERE AND LOVE YOUR INFO .. YOUR ONE HIT WONDER STORIES ARE GREAT ,, I LVE HERE IN CON AND ONE HIT WONDER CAUGHT MY ATTENTION ON A HIT AND A STORY OF A SUPER B SIDE YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW .. THE SONG WAS NA NANA NA NA NA NA NA ,, HEY HEY HEY GOODBYE ,,, THIS IS A REAL TWISTER STORY AND ITS SOMETHING YOU SHOULD REALLY LOOK INTO ,,, YOU MAY REALLY BE SUPRISED ,, THANKS AGAIN
Hi! There is already a short on Steam out there. Do a search on the channel. It is a One Hit Wonder short.
Now how that went was the band who recorded their song on side one didn’t want to be associated with that song which was on the flip side so they used a made up name for their band for that song. They called themselves Steam. I can see them thinking that song was not too good. Which it wasn’t. Yet it ended up being a smash hit. Who would’ve thought? I forget what the band was originally called.
@@donniekrahn8427 You are talking about Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye by Steam.
The band ‘Steam’ was entirely fictitious. I did a One Hit Wonder video on this. Find it on the channel Video tab
Very interesting and one of my favorite records. Every kid in a kids' band was trying to play it. It was the best instrumental of the '60s.
Yeah, one of those that just keeps bouncing around in your head.
Thanks SO MUCH for the view and comment! Please help share the love and share the video!!
Every kid my fourth grade class could play wipeout on our desks
Yes. And have contests for accuracy.
Great story! I was 11 when this happpened and I think I heard "Wipe Out" about a gazillion times over the years.
Hey, thanks for watching! Please help us spread the 💕 love and share the videos!
Cool intro! I really hooked me in :) I really never cared much for surf music, but I remember Wipe Out. It's one of those songs you can't escape, it's everywhere...or was back in the day. Until now I thought the Beach boys did it 🤭
Yeah. It antiquated almost overnight with the British Invasion, but enjoyed a great run for a few years.
Thank you, that was fascinating!
Glad you enjoyed it! Please share it for me!!!
Excellent thanks!!!!
You're most welcome! Please help spread the love 💕 by sharing the video!
That was really interesting! Thanks
So glad that you enjoyed it, Dave! Please help spread the love and share the videos for me!
Back in the late 60s and early 70s every garage band played Wipeout...and House ot the Rising Sun
And “House” is coming before long.
As always, well told and interesting. I thought of the Kingsmen first in your teaser intro, and wondered why you "mispronounced" Surfaris later on. Ha. Would love to hear your take and research on the greatest garage-band year of all, 1966, with the likes of The Leaves, Count Five, Syndicate of Sound, Electric Prunes, et al.
Funny that you would mention the Prunes, because I’ve had a video on them in the closet that I really didn’t like after I completed it, and so never published it.
One thing that I always have to evaluate is whether the time investment in production will yield a popular video.
I have investigated several one hit bands and found a few interesting stories. For those, if there is enough material to warrant production, then I’ll do a long form.
@@the_guitar_trooper One 1966 group that might have an interesting story behind it was the Swinging Medallions who did the tremendous Double Shot of My Baby’s Love. I heard or read the group consisted of college fraternity brothers and that one of the members was now-San Antonio area preacher Rick Godwin.
@@larrya7360 I’ll put them on the research list! Thanks!
Thank you, that was great!

Grest retrospective of that era. We were just kids and spent every spare moment at the beach or on skateboards surfing or sidewalk surfing😂😂😂wipeout OUCH!
Thanks A MILLION for the view!! Please help me to spread the love 💕 by sharing the videos!!
I never knew that story. I was 11 when that came out. It’s one of the greatest intros ever as it immediately whips your mind to that time and the surfer culture that was California. When all things “COOL” came from California.
One of the most unmistakable hooks in pop history! Thanks for watching!
If you could, please help me out and share the videos that you like!

Great story about a song we all love.

I had that album as a child. I remember loving the Fender Strat.
I observed a local band that started out as a surf sound but then abruptly switched to playing Hendrix the next year ( notably “Manic Depression”) including feedback effects. The 2 guitarists played Fender Mustangs through Bandmasters and it seemed really magical at the time. I had never heard feedback distortion effects before.
Cool... Really Cool...
Thanks A TON, James! Please help me out and share the video! I need a viral this month!
Great story…btw!👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Please share for me!!
The Doobie Brothers encountered the same thing in the early '70's. Warner Bros. released the single "Another Park, Another Sunday". The single wasn't performing well chart-wise, when DJ's started playing the B-side "Black Water". Black Water ended up becoming played more often, and being more popular, that Warner Bros. re-released the single, switching the A side and B side. The rest is history.
The DBs had a hard time getting started. It would appear that one of the best serendipity was the addition of Michael McDonald. It changed the entire sound cosmetic of the group, but also ushered in a long line of solid hits.
Oh those45’s they were the best❤
Thanks for watching!
What a really neat story.
Thanks A MILLION! Please share the video!
Another good example of a B-side that became a hit was Cast Your Fate To The Wind by the Vince Guaraldi Trio. It reached no. 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 9 on the Easy Listening chart. The A-Side, Samba de Orpheus, never charted at all.
Thanks for the view and comment, Larry!!
Please share the channel and videos!That trio had a catchy sound that was jazzy enough without being abstract. It’s too bad that the only thing most people know them for is the compositions done for the Charlie Brown Christmas.
Great story Trooper! Would you put "Last Kiss" by J Frank Wilson and the Cavalier on your list. It's a crowd pleaser for those of us of a certain age... 😊
You got it,Bade! Thanks for the view, Man!
Great radio voice!
Thanks for the view and kind words, Fred!

Loved Surfer Joe, great song
Wipe-out was pretty much the same song, just more straightforward without lyrics.
How interesting!
Well! Look at YOU! Thanks for the view, Aub!
Chubby Checker too got B-sided with "Toot" as the A side, when the B-side was the hit. What was it? THE TWIST.
Yeah. The stuff happens more often than we think!
song- Flower of the County, a spoof off of Cowered of the County by Kenny Rogers
I remember Wipeout, got played lots of times here in the UK. As soon as the name I knew it was the Surfaris and Wipeout.
Hey Frank! Hello from the USA! Thanks for the view, Man!
Interesting story. I'm not sure if I've ever heard Surfer Joe. I'll have to have a listen and see if it rings a bell. I wonder if Wipeout is the song you don't want to play in music stores when testing out drums, like they tell you not to play Smoke on the Water with guitars?
Passe’ piece for today’s drummers, so we’re safe.
You can find “Surfer Joe” on UA-cam. You’ll hear some similarities to wipeout in chord structure. It’s surf rap - in that aspect, it was a recording before its time. I guess.
The British Invasion didn't end my love for surfing music.
You're not alone!

We used to play this song in our High School band.
I think that there was a lot of that. Thanks SO MUCH for the view!!!
Growing up in Los Angeles I listened to three AM stations. KHJ, KFWB and KRLA in the 50's and 60's.
All three were good operations in their heyday before the merges and format changes.

Ronnie Wilson was a good friend. We played in a bagpipe band together. I used to always see him and his wife around Glendora. I was sorry to hear he died from a fall off his roof. I also went to school with Jim Pash who carried on the Sufaries name along with Bob Berryhill.
What a neat legacy! I should have interviewed you! Thanks for the view AND the comment!
I remember playing Wipe Out in the first band I played in. I did the opening laugh in the beginning. Those were the days.
Ha! We never even considered trying the cackle.
@@the_guitar_trooper Can't do it anymore. My voice has gotten lower over the last almost 60 years. LOL

I'm not sure the ad in Spanish before this video was very well-placed.
I have no control over specific ads, only categories. Ad language isn’t one of them. Doggonnit!
I graduated high school in '71 and Wipeout was as popular as ever in South Florida. My neighbor played drums and could really
play Wipeout well.
Ya. Any time a drummer auditioned for a group, “Hey - Play ‘Wipeout’ “ was in there somewhere!
A really great shoe!
So C’mon.. let’s have a fine, fine welcome for theze yungstirs!

I do remember "Surfer Joe" getting airplay in Miami.
Good to know, thanks!
You bet! Thanks for watching!
That Thing You Do has a lot of truth to it. In about two hours, it tells the story 10,000 bands-or more-experienced and still experience.I know cuz I did it. Best line is from Tom Hanks (“Mr. White,” the manager): “Well, Guy. Right now Jimmy, your singer, is in violation of his contract. But it’s all right. No one’s going to jail.” Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.
Yeah - Hanks nailed it with that exchange. The other bit in that flick that hits you in the face is when the “Wolfman” Scott Pell is plugged into the group by the record label manager after the original bass player goes AWOL.
Drummer Guy Patterson:
“No offense, but we’ve been playing together for a long time. Can he handle our song?”
Then Pell says “I think I can handle it, Junior”. And rattles off a 5 second bass solo that is a stratosphere above the group’s level .
Wow!! My buddies and myself had such a band. I thought we were pretty good. Had about 50 songs and played Wipeout. Of all the songs I’d sit behind my drums and kids would say, play Wipeout. Really the easiest song we did. Being a band in west Texas we heard Roy Orbison was in Odessa so we drove there trying to find and meet him. No luck. With all the music stars from out there we hoped to make our mark but parents stopped all that. It was still a great time in my life.
Ahhhh. Midland/Odessa. A great place to learn how to fly, as there was mostly nothing taller than mesquite trees between the cities.
I have bought a fair few singles just becasue of the B side. Def Leppard- ride into the sun.

Thanks for the view, Mark!
Huh, I remember hearing "Surfer Joe" all the time on the radio growing up. I always thought it was a big hit, but then again I grew up in California. I have always thought of the Surf Music genre as the most authentic sound of youth because they were mostly all kids themselves. Some of the more prominent bands that had High School age members included The Beach Boys, The Bel-Airs, The Chantays and the band featured here, The Surfaris
More recently The Linda Lindas from Southern California also capture that same spark of youth.
Thanks for the view AND the post!
Well, Hendrix said, 'You'll never hear surf music again'.
And yet…. It’s still out there. It’s just the old stuff.
I was told that BORN TO LOSE (THE B SIDE TO I CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU) by Ray Charles was the biggest selling 45 b side in history (at that time) It was written by Ted Daffen a.k.a. Frankie Brown. Any truth to that? I do know BORN TO LOSE (which was recorded by quite a few country artists) was Ray's biggest hit. I know it got Mr. Daffen a platinum record! great video! Thanks
“Born To Lose”
version by Ray Charles wasn’t a hit, but it was covered from the original 1943 version by many artists, and the aggregate sales may be the origin of the statement.
I love it lol lol

I miss the Wolfman
And I never heard of the guy until I saw American Graffiti
@@the_guitar_trooper I lived in Havasu in the mid Sixties and after sundown we would be able to pick up AM stations from LA and that is when I would get the Wolfman. Plus Vin Scully and Dodger baseball. Good times growing up.
