Wavves - King of the Beach

Yeah, I just find this song really darn catchy. I'm a sucker for simple songs like this. I even learned it on guitar because I thought it would be funny to play this song while at the beach. I love how noisy the production is, and listening to this several days in a row has got me wanting to listen to more garage rock. I also dig how vague the lyrics are. Like, yeah, you're the king of the beach, so what? What does that mean? I'm never gonna stop you from doing... what, exactly? Fun fact: the drummer on this album also played on Jay Reatard's Blood Visions, another banger garage album.

Let the sun burn my eyes
Let it burn my back
Let it sear through my thighs
I'll feel wide wide open

Let the sun burn my eyes
Let it burn my back
At the beach
In my dreams
But you still

You're never gonna stop me
You're never gonna stop me
You're never gonna stop me
You're never gonna stop

King of the beach
King of the beach

Let the sun burn my eyes
Let it burn my back
Let it burn through my thighs
I'll feel wide wide open

At the beach I'm with jeans
And it's wide wide open
At the beach
In my dreams
But you still

You're never gonna stop me
You're never gonna stop me
You're never gonna stop me
You're never gonna stop

King of the beach

Never gonna stop me
You're never gonna stop me
You're never gonna stop me
You're never gonna stop

King of the beach
King of the beach
King of the beach
King of the beach
King of the beach
