Silly Surfers and Weird-ohs
A two-sided monsterpiece from Hairy Records (1964) this record is based on the hugely successful early sixties “Silly Surfer” and “Weird-ohs” model car assembly kits from The Hawk Model Co.. The Weird-ohs model kits were introduced in 1963. The initial three-kit batch of Weird-ohs consisted of Digger, a dragster; Daddy, a commuter; and Davey, a biker. These were soon joined by other releases that went on to become one of the most popular and successful series of model kits in plastic hot rod history. Similar to the drag monsters and toy model kits that Ed “Big Daddy” Roth and Stanley Mouse were creating the Weird-ohs were the creation of William Campbell. The Musical Director here was no less than surf maestro Gary Usher.

I still own & play this record to this day. I love the artwork and the corny music. The best part is at the beginning and end of each side you can hear the sound hair makes when it grows….boing boing biddle-oing…

Hey J-Dawg, any chance you’d be willing to make a copy for me on cd? I lost my album years ago and would love to listen to this music again. Please let me know.
