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!
“Big Daddy” Nelson


(*‘noprize’ means “no prize”. Fame and Glory are yours for winning this 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.

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).

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.

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???

We have a Winner!! Congratulations, Ben!

The answers are:

  
  
   01: Walk Don’t Run - The Ventures

02: Misirlou - Dick Dale and The Del-Tones

03: Surfin’ Safari - The Beach Boys

04: Surf City - Jan and Dean

05: Girls on the Beach - The Beach Boys

06: Surfer Joe - Surfaris

07: Let’s Go Trippin’ - Dick Dale and The Del-Tones

10: Ride the Wild Surf by Jan and Dean.

11: Wipeout - The Surfaris

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!

   What do I not win? ;-)
You win the noprize! :D

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.
