AND, seein' as how I'm "setting the record straight" here(pun intended), it was stated earlier by the OP that "the Ventures biggest hit was 'Wipe Out'", but actually that would the biggest hit for another of the "surf rock" groups of that era, The Surfaris.

The Ventures biggest hits would in fact be "Walk, Don't Run" and their recording of the theme music for the popular television program of the late-'60s, "Hawaii Five-O".

(...yeah yeah, I know I know...don't ya just HATE a guy who corrects others and makes it seem as if he thinks he knows everything about everything?!...and ESPECIALLY when said guy ONLY possesses a mere CURSORY knowledge.....about everything)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
