Sidewalk Surfing

Jan and Dean had a top 40 hit in October 1964 with "Sidewalk Surfing", a song about skateboarding.  The song is actually the Beach Boys' song "Catch A Wave" with different lyrics.  Although not a huge hit for Jan and Dean, the song emphasized the new skateboarding craze, at a time when American artists were struggling to stay afloat during the British Invasion.
