Music to Make Models By, by The Silly Surfers

In the mid-60s, Weird-Ohs were the cool toys for boys. These freaky monster men, with hanging tongues and bloodshot eyes, rode surfboards and drove cars with gearshifts that stuck way out of the car. You could buy Weird-Ohs as ready-made toys, or as glue-together models. I remember the older brothers of my friends having shelves full of assembled Weird-Oh models. I wonder how many of them had this album from 1964, called "Music to Make Models By." This collection of innocuous novelty surf and drag racing songs would certainly be good accompaniment to model making. It's also great for review writing. Free MP3s Link
