It fills my head with visions of mop-haired, bell-bottomed teenaged boys and longhaired, mini-dressed and -skirted teen girls wiggin’-out as they dance ‘The Frug’, ‘The Monkey’, and, of course, ‘The Swim’. Secret Surf’s got that hard-drivin’, guitar-ific sound that was so characteristic of the ‘surf’ music genre. Your use of the Real Tracks, however, adds the slightly-sinister-but-fun sound that evokes comically evil, but nonetheless dashing undercover spies with black patches over their eyes! It’s wild, man! It’s far-out! It’s ‘the most’! It’s wa-a-a-y out there, outta-sight, and everything’s gonna be all-right! Thanks for big helping of musical fun, Mr. Cadoret.

It's easy when it comes easy I wrote and recorded this over a weekend (with the help of Band in a Box of course). Getting the inspiration of a "Real Drummer and Real Bass player certainly helps.
