The Trashmen tap straight into a democratic and transforming American spirit that celebrates the Universal Goof, a sort of holy fool spreading pure joy through music. There you have the entertainment recipe of the Trashmen: surf, doo-wop, blues, and rock &amp; roll motifs swirled together for either devastating hilarity or smooth, slow dancing ballads. 
This is their live cover of the classic show tune written by George an Ira Gershwin

The Rivieras were made up of teenagers from South Bend Central High School. The group was originally called the Playmates, but was forced to change their names as there was already a group playing under that name. As a result, the group decided to rename themselves after the Buick Riviera.

The Rivieras were one of the many groups in America that became part of the "frat rock" movement in the early 1960s. The group had their greatest hit in 1964 with "California Sun". It reached #5 in the main U.S. pop chart. In fact, "California Sun" was one of the last songs on the Billboard Hot 100 chart before the "British Invasion"

"Summer Babe" is a 1992 song by Pavement. It was the last single released on Chicago's Drag City label before the band moved to the New York-based Matador label. The songs on this single would later be included on the Drag City compilation Westing (By Musket & Sextant), and on Matador's Slanted & Enchanted: Luxe & Reduxe. The single was listed (and described as an EP) in a mid-90s Matador Records mail-order catalog as Exact Wording of Threat, a reference to the text featured in the single's cover art. 

A slightly different mix of "Summer Babe," known as "Summer Babe (Winter Version)," became the first track on the band's debut album Slanted and Enchanted. The song was also ranked by Rolling Stone magazine as #286 in their list of the 500 greatest songs of all time.
