What is surf guitar song?

Surf guitar is a style of music that emerged in the early 1960s and is characterized by the use of electric guitars. Surf guitar songs typically have a fast-paced rhythm and are heavily influenced by rock-and-roll and 1950s doo-wop music. The genre is often associated with the Southern California surf culture of the era, and many of the songs feature lyrics about surfing, beaches, and the ocean.

Some of the most famous surf guitar songs include "Pipeline" by The Chantays, "Surfin' U.S.A." by The Beach Boys, "Wipe Out" by The Surfaris, and "Miserlou" by Dick Dale and His Del-Tones (which was also famously used in the opening credits of the 1994 film Pulp Fiction).

While the popularity of surf music waned in the late 1960s, it has had a lasting influence on rock-and-roll and other genres of music. Today, there are still many bands and musicians who continue to play and celebrate the surf guitar sound.
