The Beach Boys ~ Catch A Wave

Album: The Beach Boys
Composer: Brian Wilson, Mike Love
Song: " Catch A Wave"
~ LYRICS ~
"Catch A Wave"
Catch a wave and you're sitting on top of the world
Don't be afraid to try the greatest sport around
Everybody tries it once
Those who don't just have to put it down
You paddle out turn around and raise
And baby that's all there is to the coastline craze
You gotta catch a wave and you're sittin' on top of the world
Not just a fad cause it's been going on so long
All the surfers going strong
They said it wouldn't last too long
They'll eat their words with a fork and spoon
And watch 'em they'll hit the road and all be surfin' soon
And when they catch a wave they'll be sittin' on top of the world
Catch a wave and your sittin' on top of the world
So take a lesson from a top-notch surfer boy
Every Saturday boy
But don't treat it like a toy
Just get away from the shady turf
And baby go catch some rays on the sunny surf
And when you catch a wave you'll be sittin on top of the world
Catch a wave and you'll be sittin' on top of the world
Catch a wave and you'll be sittin' on top of the world
Catch a wave and you'll be sittin' on top of the worlt

[@tincat2173]

me too, me to

[@douglashott9843]

There are no flaws in this song. It is perfect.

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

Back in the 1960s, the Beach Boys became a part of my life. I have been riding the wave ever since.

[@socalpal8416]

Same with me. (Oceanside, CA) My oldest boy surfs the Tressels (South San Clemente) every week. Ride on dude.

[@davidjensen4702]

Way to go Gabrielle! Most excellent choices in group, and song!

[@benjaminbancroft7247]

Anyone listening in 2021 this hits never gets old this original song sounds so good

[@Jeffari1]

Hahaha a dog on a surf board out there surfing, man that never gets old

This vid is pure fun, just like the spirit of the band back in the early to mid 60's. Bravo!

[@SUPERGENKI]

A great all time classic - thumbs up (1) Many regards... Thomas

[@jameshaney3701]

Most positive music ever.

[@josiahquincy2744]

This catches the incredible harmonies . Thanks for posting.

[@rjwintl]

Virginia Beach still had it going back in the day when the surfer girls were on their boards instead of their iphones !!!

[@romanmoonstone934]

Just seen them live.... Great show

[@vetterburns1048]

My first album purchase when I was 8 years old. (I saved my allowance for weeks.) The Beach Boys - High Water

[@johnschick97]

Me, too, George. I grew up "Down South", and surfed from San Diego to Santa Barbara. The 60's rocked! I feel sorry for kids today. They just don't know what they missed! Can you believe they tore down the home of the greatest garage band on earth to put a frekkin freeway through? Even the memorial gets vandalized. Fuck the 21st century!

[@jorgerojas4764]

Hermoso video !!! Muy buen trabajo.

[@axiomist4488]

What a great video. Perfect for the song . Love the end when Brian sings "Way up HIGH, on top of the world" as he hits that high note on "high" .

[@TopNotchSkateboards]

get a lesson from a TopNotch surfer guy... awesome tune yaa!

[@alanestlin312]

Great track must have been great early sixties Southern California even though we had merseybeat Beatles here in Liverpool England but thus music gets me every time

[@josiespringfield4808]

Great song, one of my favorites by the Beach Boys awesome video.

Nailed it, you do some great work :-)

[@cecilturner9930]

Absolutely brilliant! Much appreciation . . . this is genius, and only wish I'd found it earlier. Hope whatever you're doing now is rewarding. Cheers!

[@bassclef41]

A very nice effort and classy with the surfer girl theym . The top notch surfer boy segment was great with the dogs ...... this is a keeper on my playlist. Thanks

[@ddust102]

Good Gawd, look at all these lovelies!!

[@jesvramone]

My fave beach boys song ever. Thanx for the video :)

[@MarcoLunaMan]

Yeah yeah yeah, I am so glad I am back home to SD NC Enchanting Encinitas to be at Swamis Beach with all my brothers. Just had to listen and post this video of how it feels to be here in the epic endless summer of end times, catch the wave back to our heavenly father, for he is coming soon to redeem us.

Soul Surfer There ! 🌞❤

[@onazram1]

Wow nicely done .Gabi..

[@Gumshrud1]

"Catch that Wave and Surf it" was coined by Dr. Timothy Leary, of 'Tune in, Turn on, Drop out' fame in the '60's. In 1991 Tim was showing primitive animations, moving triangles, you know, simple stuff. He said to the young audience... this is the future so, "Catch that Wave and Surf it". Interesting.

[@static-remission27]

Sometimes it seems like Mike Love is singing the verses, but other times it seems like Dennis Wilson (and I'm not talking about the obvious Brian Wilson falsetto parts).

[@georgiethumbs2438]

I always wondered, if the Beach boys were into skateboarding would they have called themselves the Skateboarding boys and sang about skateboarding? Or what about skiing? The Skiing boys? "Catch the snow, and a hill" Or what if they were into Bowling? The Bowling Boys? "Catch a strike and you'll be sitting on top of the world!"

[@John-pm1hk]

+Georgie Thumbs Actually, they wrote surfing songs because their drummer, Dennis Wilson was a surfer...he was the only one who surfed. But Jan & Dean were into both surfing and skateboarding, and they recorded "Catch A Wave" with lyrics about skateboarding-it's called :"Sidewalk Surfin'".

[@TooCooFoYou]

Also, their original names were the Pendletones, named after the shirt brand. They only got the _Beach Boys_ name when the record label that released their first single, _Surfin'_, changed the band name to that.

[@kathleen3177]

[@johnjarou2357]

from what i understand, jan and dean given permission to use melody for "sidewalk surfin'".

[@2degreewca]

Surfin' dogs and thong bikinis. It doesn't get any better than this.

[@velvetwoods9399]

It's almost perfect... Only correction is the line,"Every Saturday boy" is actually, "Get yourself a big board."

[@Maximus-hq1cz]

Those dogs are better than some of the surfers here in Virginia beach. lol

[@JR-ic2fr]

and their better looking then the girls there too

[@static-remission27]

They are in love with snoopdog

[@silat13]

I am pretty sure the writing and composing credits belong to Brian and Mike.

[@rbbain2589]

Mike said they'll eat their words with a fork and spoon was the worst line he ever wrote

And please do one for "Surfin' Bird."

[@MarcoLunaMan]

Marco LunaMan"'The Ultimate Cosmic Tai Chi Surfer" invites you to catch the Ultimate Cosmic wave to the Moon and infinity so we may praise God and play with the Stars.

[@drakewheeler8698]

Did 'Sidewalk Surfin' come from this, or the other way?

[@tracymiller1149]

Catch a Wave came first. Jan and Dean later recorded Sidewalk Surfin' to the same tune (with The Beach Boys' blessing). Brian Wilson actually helped them rewrite it, with lyrics by Roger Chastain.

Does anybody have the HBTV version of this song?

[@chocolatewheelchair]

I’m scared to try surfing. It seems easy enough. Paddle out. Catch a wave. Sit on top of the world. Not bad actually.

ANY ONE WHO PUTS DOWN SURFING, HAS NEVER TRIED IT OR GIVIN UP TOO SOON!
