DON'T GET YOUR HOPES UP


This is a case where the sum is less than the parts. Dick Dale and Stevie Wonder together, sounds like a "fuck yeah", right? It blows. Well that's a little harsh, but there's little to get excited about other than the sight of the two of them together. But what do you expect from a beach party movie? This one, Muscle Beach Party, was one of the corniest of all.  I'd seen the clip before but was reminded of it after running into Wonder's "Beachstomp" which is way better. It's in no way surf music, but he does sing about bikinis and such.
