Notes About This Song
Wipe Out was a hit record from 1963 (although originally the B side) by the surf rock band The Surfaris. Recorded at the Pal Studio in 1962 it remains popular and is widely covered.
"All right, we'll play Wipe Out" (the nadir of early-'60s schlock). Which they proceed to do, in three tempos at once. The mindless riff of Wipe Out melts like plastic. - Larry Kart in Frank Zappa: The Mother of Us All
