The Surfaris Perform Wipe Out!! at the 20th Rat Fink Reunion

- It was 1962 when several 15-year-olds formed a band they called "The Surfries" and recorded their hit single Surfer Joe. They were told they needed a "B" side for the 45rpm record at the recording session. So they took a few hours and jammed out a legendary surf hit, Wipe Out!
Well, it's now 2022 and at the 20th anniversary of the Rat Fink Reunion Bob Berryhill, surviving member of the Surfaris played the huge party that goes on for three days in the Roth home backyard in Manti Utah. The modern Surfaris are Bob Berryhill on lead (who co-wrote Wipe Out), his wife Gene Berryhill on bass, their son Deven on rhythm, and son Joel on drums. ENJOY!!
Never boring. Back in the 60’s I was a go go girl and the closing tune the group played was Wipeout!
Wipe out was not just a surfing music icon, it was one of the tunes that every drummer had to learn his part (that rhythm is dominate through out rock music) and every guitar player also had to learn. It is the second or third tune I learned, after Walk Don't Run.
At the beginning you showed a bucket T hot rod with clear valve covers. On the breather cap there is a logo, which I instantly recognized, that of Mr. Gasket Co. As I am sitting here i am looking at that logo on a very rare Mr. Gasket Collectable. It is a pocket manicure set (Knife) given to employees as a Christmas gift in 1974, I was at that time the guy (1of 3 ) that actually made the gaskets.
So todays video has 2 special places in my heart, thanks for making this day just a tiny bit better. ;)
Wonderful!! Mr gasket!!!! Man I lived by that stuff. From the auto parts department at K Mart. Had tons of it on my 67 Mustang. Sigh.
@@ToyManTelevision If you used gaskets from 1973 to about 1977 you have a good chance of having had them made by little old me. I don't remember the number series for the ford engines any more, (No. 253 seems to ring a bell) but the 300 series were for GM. At one time I made 90K No. 350 exhaust gaskets (small block Chevy) a month (4 at a time). It took almost a week.
@@robertweldon7909 I used a few of your gaskets myself. Thanks,they worked great.
@@robertweldon7909 I have a set of Mr gasket valve cover gaskets in the trunk of my 68 Charger that's in my garage 😀.
Awesome, the days of wearing Rat Fink T shirts to school, Big Daddy ruled! Real music, played on real instruments, by real people, it doesn't get any better than that!
I wish I coulda worn a rat fink shirt to school… damn. Button down with slacks. Or you were sent home.
@@ToyManTelevision 😂 Man, where did you (we!)go to school anyway? Lol! Did things ever change when you were in college and I was in high school (Logan)! Thanks as always for the memories and the time you two put into what I've come to think is one of,if not the best channel on Uboob. And thank you for the update on Dirt and DJ!😻😻
Totally Rad Man! Awesome snippet into a great time in my life. Cheer's John V
Thanks!!! What a time. What an amazing time to be a kid.
1962. I was just one year graduated from high school. Now, doesn't this revelation make me feel very old?
And these guys… between 9th and 10th grade. Summer in LA recording in studios for a major label. 15 years old. Had to be driven to three gigs a day.
So I went to bed after seeing your Rat Fink video. In the morning my wife said we'd lunch with her teacher friends both active and retired like her. Met them near our house and off to a restaurant near there. Arrived at a fantastic retro place we didn't know existed and had a fine lunch. Then next door to a coffee shop we also didn't know and standing at the front door was Rat Fink! A 58 GMC pickup in old patina next to him. VW's in various state of rebuild all over the place. I did my best to explain Rat Fink to our younger Thai friends and posted this video.
You guys just hit my time. I got my license jan 6 1961. Crused Hawthorne blvd, hung out at the Hawthorne A&W with the beach boys before they became famous,Huin out at the Witchstand in L.A. Went crusing all over socal including hollywood blvd. Those were the fun days I still have hot rods and never grew up..... Yes I was also a master of screwing around..... untill turning 77 it slowed me down but not out.
I cruised Van Nuys boulevard. When I was in town which was often.
These guys were just outa middle school!!! 15 years old! Playing three gigs a night on the weekends. On a major label. Had cool surf wagons. But NO DRIVERS LICENSE! Because they were 15 years old! And here we are in 2022 and only one is still alive, on the road playing car shows and other gigs. His whole life on the road playing gigs! Amazing.
I had a 67 mustang GT. Sold it to buy a Dodge Challenger. 440. I was an idiot. So in 1984 I found a replacement 1967 mustang GT. This time a GT500!! Which I rodded. Thing has about 500 HP. And gets 8 miles per gallon at $5.00 per gallon…. Oh well. I only put about three tank fulls through it every year so no big deal.
Found the video by virtue of "the algorithm", was def a good video to watch and not boring at all, just the right balance between history and brevity
Very cool .made my day . Have a great week
Thanks!! We love it. Love cars. And yes, trains.
This was such a fun night! My band got to warm up for The Surfaris, then I mixed their sound for them. They were a delight to work with.
@@ElfDude2112 so.. with Jon Grippe?
So the story was that the drumming part was actually the drum roll used by their high school's marching band's drum line. Iconic.
When I saw Rat Fink I just had to tune to it.
We are created in the image of God. Given our creativity comes from God as a result. We can believe God can rock!
Killer reverb 👍
Ah fine summer days out on the back porch building a amt Woody or Big Daddy's "Surfite."
Heaven on Earth.
I have a re release of the Surfite. AND! An original signed by Ed!
@@ToyManTelevision yeah!
Great music thanks
Awesome!
thanks
Awesome! Thanks.
I graduated in 1962 and they were really the good times. Drugs hadn't come to town yet and the police were much easier to work with.
I was 11 then. Good times. The music. The cars. The fun. Sigh.
Excellent sound recording.
I can't describe how fantastic this is . . .
amazing that Bob is still playing gigs after 60 years!
When I was into stock car racing Wipeoit was my signature tune that they use to play when my car was featured I would have the track to myself and would do all sorts of highspeed maneouvers with in the length of the tune as it was played over the loud speaker system I was a huge hit with the crowd and get them into the mood of the racing.
EEEEEEE. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
WIPEOUT!!!
Believe me as a drummer-this thang will wear you out!! 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
Good night from Bangkok
Wow. Sleep well. Love to see that place some day.
Sorry I missed you guys in Manti but I did look for you. RFR was a real treat this year (but I think I say that every year). Great video looking forward to followup video treats from you and Karyn.
Yea… this event always beats the crap outa us. So much to do… so much to see. We stay in mt pleasant too. So the drive as well. But hard to find a good place in Manti. A few places, but always booked by wedding parties.
@@ToyManTelevision Yes, always a lot associated with this event. I go down and back in one day but there are a couple of B&B's in Spring City that would be nice. One of them is in my grandmother's old home but, unfortunately I haven't stayed there. Ahh the "good old days".
Can't wait to see more great video thanks for sharing as always great clip.
Love the see through valve covers on the T bucket!
Always wondered how that looks running
Tooooooooo Coooooooool!
Super cool 😎
WOW Does that bring back memories.... trying to duplicate that drum beat on the steering wheel of my 56 Chevy while crusin' State! Surfaris, Beach Boys, Ventures, Jan & Dean.... Thank you. I had a plastic model of Ed's "The Outlaw" hot rod, really cool. D
id Big Daddy have a character named "Wade A Minut"? I remember a model for that "official drag race starter".
Don’t think so. Wade a minute. Hum… there were several people making these characters. One huge one was the “weird ohs”. Leaky Boat Louie. Ones like that. I cans see him making a wade a minute.
@@ToyManTelevision I'll bet that is what is was. "LB Louie sounds familiar. Wade was the same style as the drivers Ed put in his cars in his drawings.
My dad grew up in long Beach he had a 55 Ford wagon for his first car his other was a 1964 black on black goat 389 6 speed 2 double barrel carbs he used to do burnouts and stuff in the high school parking lot there at Long Beach Jordan high school lol dad and his cousin would ride around in it. Sadly he got rid of it before going overseas for Vietnam. Today it would be worth thousands $$$ he passed away at 67 in 2013.
Very Cool, Mr Toy Man!!!!!!!
I could not make it this year I went to it Last year I had A-blastIt was a shame I did not get to meet you last year
We are back out there. Two years on house arrest. So f this. Gas is $5? Well that sucks. But not as much as everything being closed.
@@ToyManTelevision Maybe in 4 more years After the rectal cranial inversion is fixed in Washington DC
@@detroitredneckdetroitredne6674 never happen though. Politics is political. And politicians want two things. In this order: your money. Your vote. Policy has nothing to do with it unless they can get one or two by faking policy.
A classic song. It's simple, just 12 bar blues in a surf style but still iconic.
I'd never heard Surfer Joe before so just checked it out. The chorus is also 12 bar blues, so it follows the same chord sequence as Wipe Out! Ha!
cool it tis!
Fun!!
Thanks again!!
I have never been a fan of what is in vogue. Looking back changes things. The Beach Boys played at Bellflower High School the year prior to my being there. Now, I wish I had heard that performance.
Do you like The Beach Boys?
Oh man yes. Surfing USA. Wow!!
Humm no Hi railer at rat fink? Mybe i should hi rail my trike! If only there was real 3rd rail track to Salt lake city... Thanks for the vidio
I see it in my mind… wow.
Na na nana nana nana na na nana nana nana…
Can you do a Tuesday show on your sport cars?
Yup!!
There was a guy in the band with long hair and a guitar and I thought he was you!!😄
That’s Bob Berryhill. His wife on bass. 74 years old. Been playing gigs now for 60 years straight. Last of the original band. But his kids on drums and rhythm gitfiddle. And he’s writing new stuff which is great.
Dale ... why didn't you dance???
I love to get down!!!! I just can’t get back up…

I's peeved at the discontinuance of Song legal cites by almost everybody in the record business - whereas most are concerned with the artist and producer(s), I'm after verification of Composer(s) (and Arranger(s) or Orchestrator(s) when applicable), Lyricist(s) (and Translator(s) when applicable), and Publisher(s) of Origin (with performance-right organization(s) of jurisdiction and out-of-country copyright administrator(s)).
Don’t you hate when people stand in front of others in chairs who were probably there before. No respect.
Love this I played Wipeout in a band we open for John k steppen wolf
Is there anyway I could talk to you iv been trying to get license to mfg. Neon Rat Fink signs and hand paint the framework the neon is mounted on I just can't seem to find the right person to talk with can you help I live in PA.
Ilean Roth. Go to ratfink.com. Ilean holds all of Ed’s copyrights. And licenses them. If you come to the Rat Fink Reunion in Manti Utah at the first of June every year you can sell at a table to as an official Rat Fink Artist. (We are both officially licensed). The agreement is you sign with Ed’s name and copyright. Then your own name. And Ilean gets a piece of the sale. Email her. She’s great. They call her Trixie as well. Rat Finks Girlfriend.

For a group to just "what the $%^& let's try this" it's VERY GOOD ❗❗❗
