Cheesy surf movies and Offsets

Post by RumorsOFsurF » Mon May 21, 2007 10:35 pm

Anyone watch cheesy 60's surf films?  I was watching Beach Blanket Bingo, and spotted a pair of offsets.  White Jaguar and Jazz Bass with matching headstocks during this tune!

So campy, but I love it!

I loved the guitars. The music was a little silly, and the dance  - well looks like they all have hemhoroids or some kind of ass itch.
The clip was, for me a sequence of joy and yuck, as we pan from guitars to some stupid pasty white guy's ass doing the twist.
Too bad the girls didnt wear the tight skirts of the day, which, as I remember fondly were very tight and wonderful.
I bet those guitars are in better shape now than any of those people!
