Is this song proof that "real" surf music CAN have vocals? You be the judge!

NW-based trio with a twangy Western flavor, tight arrangements and unique tonality!
Fronted by the infamous "Captain Reverb", The Surfonics have been treating their audiences to their own brand of twangy, reverb-tinged, western-flavored instrumental surf music since 1993.

Story behind the song
One of the first songs I ever wrote, it was recorded in 1993 before anyone told me that "real" surf music couldn't have vocals...
Lyrics
Let me tell ya' 'bout a beach I know... Where even the locals are scared to go. Well there's ten-foot waves that maim and kill... If the sharks don't get you, then the undertow will! Better learn to hold your breath, if you wanna survive- The Beach of Death The water's black, and cold as ice... Listen kid, take my advice. If ya' wanna live past twenty-one... Don't be a fool, stay away my son! Better learn to hold your breath, if you wanna survive- The Beach of Death The beach of death, the beach of death, there's no return from the beach of death. Ya' better learn to hold your breath if ya' wanna surf- The Beach of Death Let me tell ya' 'bout my friend Jeff... He went surfin' at the Beach of Death. Now his body's bent, and his hair is gray... It was the Beach of Death that made him that way! Better learn to hold your breath, if you wanna survive- The Beach of Death. The beach of death, the beach of death, there's no return from the beach of death. Ya' better learn to hold your breath if ya' wanna surf- The Beach of Death... The Beach of Death... The Beach of Death...
