Here is my latest modular-vignette MOC:
Surfin’ USA
(Accessible when
moderated)
These are 12 vignettes which come together to form a swingin’ beach scene...
Now, here’s the twist: This is a ‘noprize’* contest called “Name That
Vig”!!
Each vignette is named after a song of the ‘Surf Rock’ genre. Be the first to
guess the correct name of the song that each vignette represents, and you will
receive the coveted noprize! The first person who replies to this post with the
12 correct song titles wins! (Extra props if you also get the correct
singer/group who recorded the song, or find references to them in these vigs. I
also have included several of my well-known figs in this MOC.)
(Hint: Examine the images for the actions/characters therein. They represent
the title of the song, a line from the song, or some other reference/scene where
the song was played. Some may be difficult, but most should be relatively easy.)
Enjoy!

contest!)

Awesome creations, Nelson! I think I have about half of them:
02 - something from Pulp Fiction, I’ll say “Girl, You’ll be a Woman Soon” by
Urge Overkill
03 - Surfin’ Safari by the Beach Boys
08 - Surfer Girl by the Beach Boys ?
09 - Surfin’ Bird by the Trashmen (or
Ezra) (I always assumed this was
called “Bird is the Word” ... live and learn)
10 - Surf Cowboy by Throwing Muses (or maybe Long Tall Texan?)
11 - Wipeout by the Surfaris
12 - Could be many things. I’ll say Catch a Wave by the Beach Boys.

Good catch, but I think that might be
vignette 05 (which isn’t moderated yet for some reason). I’m guessing that 04
would be something else by the Trashmen, given the worker fig.

You were close, saying pulp fiction (which I didn’t even think of) would suggest
it is Misirlou, which means Egyption girl.

Between the two of you, I think you’ve solved 7 or 8 or them... but I’m not
saying anything until I have your final answers. Keep trying! :)

Ooh, cool! When I first thought of Pulp Fiction, I figured Misirlou, as it’s
the song your really think of from that, but didn’t know what it meant. So I
went with the one that had “girl” in the soundtrack. I have to admit that I had
no idea why the Egyptian headress, but if that’s what Misirlou means, you’ve
obviously got it.

Maybe number one is something by the police..... maybe ‘every breath you
take’..... that might be taking a step out of the surf genre though.

Nope.
Here’s a hint: ALL of the songs are from the original ‘Surf Rock’ era
(50’s/60’s).

Is it going to be a little like ‘the price is right’ ;)..... you have 3 wrong,
which three would you like to change...... Unless we have none wrong, but I am
guessing my last guess is wrong.

Very good - you’ve got 10 of the 12. Only #6 and #10 remaining!
Who will be the first to name them all???

Well, after a hint from Nelson and some googling, #6 is Surfer Joe by the
Surfaris. I have to admit that I don’t know this song at all. Neil Young also
has a song named Surfer Joe and Moe the Sleaze, but that would be from the wrong
genre.

I thought #6 would be easy, since it features the ever-oblivious Joe Vig.
Also, for #10, I would have also accepted “Shoot the Curl” by The Honeys.
Thanks to all for playing!
You win the noprize! :D
