An homage to Toyota by Manu Dibango.  I’ve never seen the Toyota Starlet before (but I bet it was high maintenance).

Rad to the bone

“I Get Around”  TeeVee Records  Released in 1978, this is actually a cheesey, exploito compilation of early 1960’s AM hits from the first wave of skate boarding (or “sidewalk surfing” as they used to say).  Willie & The Wheels “Skateboard Craze” is probably the most curious thing on this album: It’s a complete rip-off of the Beach Boys’ “Surfin’ U.S.A.” (which is itself a ripoff of Chuck Berry’s “Sweet Little Sixteen”), but with lyrics about the joys of skateboarding.  Listen Up:   “Skateboard Craze” Check out the glossary terms!  Priceless.  (Courtesy of lp cover lover, Kilwag at SkateAndAnnoy.com)
