Simple and sincere. A weekend of jamming condensed into a 3 minute snippet.
Lyrics
Lighten Up, Get Wet...............VMP, March 2011 Hey baby baby lighten up, Don't be uptight, Daddy-O's and Mama Hens, Lighten up and get wet. We dig the vibe on the east coast, We love the west coast too, We take it way down south, Down in Mexico. No guts, no glory, No storm, no fury, No money in our pockets, Let's fly like rockets. Already been said, That what you give is what you get, We dig shooting stars, Surfboards and guitars. No guts, no glory No storm, no fury, No money in our pockets, Let's fly like rockets, Daddy-O's and Mama Hens, Lighten up and get wet.

Great vibe! Definitely captured that retro surf sound - love the way it alternates between a dark "Doors" sound with the music and more upbeat light vibe when the vocals come in. Excellent stuff.

I hear some nice shades of The Doors in this one, Mike. :) Also, I hear shades of the musical intro for The Munsters; and I expect Herman to crash through the door anytime; and Lily to wring her hands. :) Sweet! Nice job, Mike! :) I enjoyed listening! :)

Oh man, I'm a real sucker for this kind of 'Surf' music. You do it so well. This is so totally riding a big Seventh Wave. Nice Dick Dale sound and a crunchy bass guitar. This is 'in the zone' alright. :) Right, lets see if I can still squeeze into my wet suit.
