In Brian Wilson/B. Boys

LA TIMES "In 1987 the Fat Boys remade the Surfaris' 'Wipe Out' song and they had the Beach Boys singing the background vocals. This is one of the most bizarre pairings in hip-hop history and it hardly ever gets talked about. In fact, I just had to revisit the video on YouTube to make sure this song actually existed and it wasn't a figment of my imagination. There it is...in all its amazingness. Not as amazing as Brian Wilson's short stint as a rapper (which lasted for at least one bizarre non-ironic song as far as I know) but it is peculiar, comical and catchy."
