With schools being let out and summer vacations about to begin, this is a time when amusement parks all across the U.S. are opening! And to honor this special time of year in our lives lets listen to a song that captures the thrills and excitement of speding a day at an amusement park: Amusement Parks U.S.A. by The Beach Boys.The guys mention the names of several cool amusement parks from the 60s. Too bad Brian and the boys never had a chance to visist Chain of Rocks Amusement Park. The song is a track from Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!), the ninth studio album by The Beach Boys, released on July 5, 1965 on Capitol. The release was their second in 1965. Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!) peaked at #2 in the US during a chart stay of 33 weeks. High scores for youtube user, metrofurs, who posted some great amusment ride photos that coincide perfectly with the songs lyrics. Amusement Park U.S.A. (Composer: Mike Love & Brian Wilson) Lets take your car and to amusement parks USA At Palisades in Salisbury Parks the rolly coasters are flyin At Euclid beach on the flying turns Ill bet you cant keep her smilin Buy your girl a cotton candy while youre down on the ground Then take her on the twirl-a-way and spin her around Lets take your car and mess around at the park all day The parachutes at Riverview Park will shake us up all day And Disneyland and p.o.p. is worth a trip to L.A. Watchin girls in the air can really get you bad And Ill bet the laughin lady makes you laugh like mad Lets pick up our friends and do amusement parks USA [spoken, supposedly by Beach Boys session drummer Hal Blaine] Hurry, hurry, hurry folks step right up to the Beach Boy Circus. The best little show in town. Hurry, hurry, hurry, its only a dime folks, one thin dime, just one tenth of a dollar. Come on in and see Stella the snake dancer (is it real? ) She walks, she talks, she wiggles on her belly like a snake. (she looks like a fake to me) (lets go see her) (it costs too much) Hurry, hurry, hurry folks, come on and see Stella. She shimmies, she shakes.... Youll crash and burn in the bumper cars at Jerseys Steel Pier Youll crack em up when you stand in front of all the crazy mirrors At first youll be a chicken at the jackhammer ride But youll do it with a girl sittin right by your side Lets take your car and mess around at the park all day https://youtube/watch?v=Gk6SR7laOGw
