This is a beloved cartoon. I watched it when new, and am close to 60 and still love it. The cartoon had several celebs on it. I always loved its bright colors, too.
I am a child from the 90s and I grew up watching the reruns on cartoon network and on VHS tapes. When I got older, I decided I was "Too Cool!" for Flintstones and watched other shows. I now have the complete Original Season on DVD and I have been watching them and loving it more than when I was a little kid. You have good taste in shows :)
I love "the Flintstones", I also grew up in the 60's, I enjoy the show in both, English and Spanish. I love that they had my favorite celebrities doing cameos. Ann Margaret, Tony Curtis, Elizabeth Montgomery. Great drawings. I wish they would still make cartoons for kids again, good, wholesome, traditional family oriented instead of the junk that is made these days.
My generation! We had the Flintstones-and the Addams Family and the Munsters. So many good shows. Shows we could watch as family-with no embarrassment. Even shows like the Brady Bunch-it was just the best time for television.
We had a red and white 1956 Chevy station wagon. I just learned a few years ago the the surfer boys loved that car b/c they could fit their surf boards inside. That impressed me more than the original car. I had just turned 16 and gotten my license. We drove from TN to AK to visit our grandmother. This was in the days of full service at the service stations. We had put some hot dogs in aluminum foil and had them heating up on the motor. I was driving when we pulled into the station. The guy asked what he could do for us. I asked him if he would check under the hood to see if the hotdogs were done and handed him a spatula. The look on his face was priceless! We didn't surf but we had a great time with that car.
From a cartoon to real life, l met James Darren in person at a Baltimore, Maryland Event in 2011...every September for a 3 day meet and greet with your favorite celebrity...Mr. Darren such a nice and handsome man!!!
It is Sharon, this has been an ongoing discussion since I first uploaded this almost 8 years ago ... Too bad they don't make cartoons like this anymore ...
Yes, it was. Their other hit in this episode was "Wax Up Your Board(s)", from their "Tell 'Em I'm Surfin' "(1964) album. The "Wrecking Crew" did most of the instrumentation.
Great cartoon! Surfin’ Craze had several reincarnations including Skateboard Craze. According to PF Sloan, producer Lou Adler was crazy about this song and loved it so much. And yes this is the original backing track to Surfin’ Craze with new vocals.
This is freaking awesome !! Remember watching this when i was only 5 when the Flintstones were on ABC every afternoon at 12pm here in my hometown in Canada.. I can now appreciate this tune even more now as a professional musician, observing the Beach Boys influence from the group who actually sang this tune, The Fantastic Baggys ..Great harmonies, with that distinct "surf vibe" which saturated the airwaves from the early to late 60's and had a whole slew of "surf bands" follow suit.. Dig what i'm sayin' Daddy--O ??
If I lived in Canada,I would be dreaming about surfing in California. I have visited all the Provinces in Canada! I have encountered too many wonderful Canadians; however, there is not enough Xanax, Prozac, mushrooms, marijuana, and alcohol to live in Canada, during the winter!
I just watched it on ME tv lol. I didn't know the Flintstones were from California, guess the hollyrock bowl was a clue. Based on Jackie Gleason and the honeymooners. I like Fred much better. 😁
@Barnyard100 i've made this correction before and i will tell you the whole situation..Jimmy Darren did the singing vocals for this episode, an actor by the name of Lennie Weinrib did the voice of "Jimmy Darrock" for this episode, the Fantastic Baggys wrote the original song, and the original tune heard on the radio was done by the Baggys with original lead vocalist,which is either P.F Sloan or Steve Barri...

No this is a real song! "Surfin' Craze" by the Fantastic Baggys. The group also had hits with "Tell Em I'm Surfin'" and "Summer Means Fun". They also wrote a lot of songs for Jan and Dean
Along with The Beach Boys, there were; "Jan And Dean," " Gary Lewis and The Playboys," and The Everly Brothers," just to name a Few. All them had at least one if not more than one super hit song. God Bless You.
lennie weinrib directed wil wild winter and other beach/surf/ski movies. i believe he did the talking part and james darren did the singing. good episode. stony curtis, tuesday wednesday,rock ganite,dickyork and liz montgomery also did gust shots on this metaphorically rich tv show.1960 to 1966 and forever in reruns
Hey pal , I'm sorry I didn't mean to steal your thunder. I sent a comment to someone that the Beach Boys had to share writer's credit with Chuck Berry because they used the guitar riffs from "Sweet Little 16". A bit of trivia from the Music Choice Golden Oldies Channel. I shoulda scrolled down and read all of the comments. You posted the info 2 years ago.😳😳
Would have been cool if a cartoon version of Mary was on this episode. They could have called her Mary Hughestone. And Fred and Barney would be drooling over her.
LandondeeL Ha! Very good! But let's change Mike Rock to Mike Loam because it sounds more like Mike Love (loam, btw, is a kind of sandy, silty soil with some clay - okay, it's not exactly a type of rock, but it's close). Or, better yet... "Mike Lava!" And later we can add "Bruce Johnstone."
From left to right, the guitarists must be Brian Wilstone, Al Shaledine and Carl Wilstone. No way that could be Mike (Lava). 1) He wasn't seen playing guitar at this point in his career and 2) he was already thinning out in the hair dept. by his early 20's. Another indicator giving the edge to Carl is that the guy on the right is a bit heavier than the other two.
hi out there 🙋♀️ I as well grew up watching the Flintstones as well other older cartoons in the late 60's and straight on through then the 80's I was a teenager and I still watched then as well the newer cartoons than I got bored with it and started to do teenager things then had kids got watching the cartoons again and so on but I'm a little older and I got the first season of the Flintstones I bought it from Walmart you can also buy them online probably from Amazon I bought a few old things just type in what it is your looking for in hopes that it might be there 😉👍 I did that's how I got a couple little older movies 😁
Somebody posted that there was no connection to the Beach Boys but at the end of this video there is this: www.beachboyssongs.com so there must be some sort of connection.

Love that story!
This is why these classic cartoons were the BEST and always will be!😉😁
You said it!
@@BeachBoysRemembered Yeah like in Flintstones there was always special musical guests like THEM eventually! lol

As much as I LOVE the Beach Boys, I think this is The Fantastic Baggies
It is Sharon, this has been an ongoing discussion since I first uploaded this almost 8 years ago ... Too bad they don't make cartoons like this anymore ...
@@BeachBoysRemembered Gotcha. Sorry I didn't even notice how long ago it was. Enjoyed the clip,Thanx for posting!
@@BeachBoysRemembered - There's a video on the rise and fall of Hannah Barbera. Sad story of what was once one of the greatest animation studios.
Yes, it was. Their other hit in this episode was "Wax Up Your Board(s)", from their "Tell 'Em I'm Surfin' "(1964) album. The "Wrecking Crew" did most of the instrumentation.
Our mom learned how to speak English by watching this classic cartoon with me and my brother.
When I watch the Flintstones i am 14 again! No worries,just care free living and fun!
One of my favorite Flinstone episodes ever! Great tunes too in it...like this one.
Everybody's going craaaa-aaaa-aaaazy with the surfin' craaaze! Love that part
The first time I saw this episode of The Flintstones I fell in love with this song and still am to this very day

Always love the fancy footwork on The Flintstones!

Such good childhood memories!!! Forever Bedrock!!
Yabba baa Doo.
that was really awesome.
it was fun to watch and sing along too.
Every time When I've Watched The Flintstones it's Definitely a Comical Animation Version of The Honeymooners ...
cool and awesome my Friend + Sonny Reid have a nice week and weekend.
I remember this song very well when The Flinstones would air.
This was when I was younger and this type of song was popular back then in time.

Please show me thumbs up if you have fond memories of this song,
Surfin' USA, by the Beach Boys.
July 1, 2020 @ 12:35 am
The Flintstones was never a kids show. It was a prime time animated series. It was a very clever, funny show.
Barney's really rocking to it...lol
Brings back memories
I really enjoyed these cartoons! what classics! RAJ
Like the old saying, "they don't make them like they used to."
I love The Flintstones since I was young and I still love it ❤
The Flinstones had lots of cameos like Cary Granite=Cary Grant, Stoney Curtis=Tony Curtis, Rock Pile-Rock Hudson, etc.
One of the first shows in US (and the world) that implemented the cameos
None got any screen credit.
July 22-23 when Catchy marathon weekend will have The Flinstones over 84 episodes
The Fantastic Baggies!
Summer means fun- The fantastic Baggys!
No this is a real song! "Surfin' Craze" by the Fantastic Baggys. The group also had hits with "Tell Em I'm Surfin'" and "Summer Means Fun". They also wrote a lot of songs for Jan and Dean
Phil Sloan and Steve Barri wrote this song, and most of "The Fantastic Baggys" material. Sloan just passed away......
Robert McArthur The Rip Chords I thought?
Robert McArthur And here I thought maybe it was set too early to call it Surfin' U.S.A.
Take care. God loves you.
Jimmy Darrock's version is much better.
@@gbtekk8966 The Rip Chords also covered it
Along with The Beach Boys, there were; "Jan And Dean," " Gary Lewis and The Playboys," and The Everly Brothers," just to name a Few. All them had at least one if not more than one super hit song. God Bless You.
Brings back many good times !!!!
dads generation had the coolest music...and tv...yea babi...love the flinstones

That's actually the song "Surfin' Craze" by the Fantastic Baggies (Sloan & Barri).
"Sweet Little Sixteen" + "Surfin' USA" = "Surfin' Craze"

One of my favorite cartoons yay
This is great
Wow! this is cool
I loved watching this episode with "Troy" Flintstone.
surfing USA sung by the beach boys
The Flintstones are great !!!
The song on the cap. of the flintstones is called "surfin' craze" (The Fantastic Baggys) that has to do The Beach Boys in this matter?
Beach Boys ✨✨
I love this song surfin Craze that drive me crazy and stuck in my mind
I Remember this part
From "Surfin' Fred" (1965).
I seen the rolling Stones on The Flintstones and I seen the Beau brummel s but I don't ever remember seeing this and I'm 65!
A great cartoon!
Jimmy Darock is really Jimmy Darin.
Awesome
As cartoon characters they can only hang eight
This may very well be the best joke I've read :)
Thanks! I noted in Zootopia Nick says, "She still has 10 hours..." and shows his fingers.All EIGHT of them
Brilliant line!
Great comment, and actually they can only hang _six._ Notice Barney dancing at 1:30. 😁 I see somebody above also mentioned this.
Lol cartoon have three fingers and a thumb because it was faster to draw
Had met a session musician who worked at H&B after his Pop
🌊🏄🏽♂️band broke up, making tunes for their shows we grew up on. Interesting conversation.
Cool tune! 👍
JUST A ROCK PICKIN' MINUTE......cool tune.
Saw every episode as a youngster!
This is not The Beach Boys, it's The Fantastic Baggies doing "Surfin' Craze".
With Jimmy Darren's vocal.
Love's IT!!!
First time I've heard this. Right away I thought of Mary Hughes the gorgeous blonde from the beach blanket movies.
Oh yes, I remember Mary!💓💓💓
Would have been cool if a cartoon version of Mary was on this episode. They could have called her Mary Hughestone. And Fred and Barney would be drooling over her.
The three guitarists with Jimmy Darrock are Brian Wilson, Mike Love and Al Jardine!
holzapfelstein You mean Brian Wilstone, Mike Rock, and Al Shaledine!
LandondeeL Ha! Very good! But let's change Mike Rock to Mike Loam because it sounds more like Mike Love (loam, btw, is a kind of sandy, silty soil with some clay - okay, it's not exactly a type of rock, but it's close). Or, better yet... "Mike Lava!" And later we can add "Bruce Johnstone."

and playing guitar with the feet!now that's talent!👣👏😃
@@jimwerkheiser2612 Totally agree! Surf's up, guys!
My second-favorite episode.
Don't leave us hangin' David ... #1?
Sorry! #1 is "Ann-Margrock Presents", of course.
@@davidlewis7267, for me, "Pebbles' Birthday Party" is #1.
Very cool!
COOL!!
"Surfin' Craze" is actually a real song (not just for The Flintstones) by The Fantastic Baggys.
Wooo redondo!
They never give the Flintstone's age but they are both about 35 or so.
Surf's up, Big Kahuna!
Song: Surfin' Craze and special guests on this was the Fantasic Baggies... :|
Yep,
This is the Fantastic Baggies
hi out there 🙋♀️ I as well grew up watching the Flintstones as well other older cartoons in the late 60's and straight on through then the 80's I was a teenager and I still watched then as well the newer cartoons than I got bored with it and started to do teenager things then had kids got watching the cartoons again and so on but I'm a little older and I got the first season of the Flintstones I bought it from Walmart you can also buy them online probably from Amazon I bought a few old things just type in what it is your looking for in hopes that it might be there 😉👍 I did that's how I got a couple little older movies 😁
You're just sure that the Beach Boys got royalties on this number.
Wow i loved both the songs from this episode his voice got some life in it unlike these days singer
Don't forget the dance steps and the instrumentation ...
go Flinstones
YES!!!
I see Brian Wilson.
2:14 with all the accidents Fred has on the show hopefully he has insurance
There wasn't any in that era.
Barney is so pumped that he actually pisses himself for a second.
😆 that's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment
Nicest couples I ever knowed.
There was a parody of this in the 1984 movie Top Secret!
the fantastic baggys
GRAND
Grand
Ooo so funny and so cool
Good stuff lonehorseman09 ... But wasn't it Gary Granite & Rock Quarry? lol.
Amazing how music in a cartoon is a million times better than what we have today.
You bet it is!
The cartoon really does look like Brian Wilson, even though it's "James Darren"
Doesn't remotely resemble Brian Wilson.
It's not the Beach Boys though I thought it was when I saw it as a kid.
Well from reading the comments...I can see that most don't know that Jimmy Darrock is a cameo for singer Jimmy Darren.
And Jimmy Darrock's voice was performed by Lennie Weinrib (1935-2006), later known for his role as H.R. Pufnstuf.
Fred Flintstone is a genius.
They should have rain this all the way to the end when Fred and Barney had a garage band with pebbles and Bam Bam with Dino and Hoppy
I beg to differ-I think that ending was unnecessary.
Just grab that boogie board and go!
Kevin Russell , Fred says "& I thought he was just a lifeguard oh boy do I feel like a dope" :-)
"It duh gives me great pleasure to award this prize to one of the nicest, warmest young at heart couples I ever knowed, Mr. and Mrs. Flinstone." 😂
Hahahaha I knew there was something Familiar about this song 😃😃😃😃😃😃
It does sound like it cool I sub and like
fantastic baggys sang back ground for jan and dean
Somebody posted that there was no connection to the Beach Boys but at the end of this video there is this: www.beachboyssongs.com so there must be some sort of connection.
Clancy plays some bad ass guitar with his toes...
I bet that the wrecking crew was the performing backup band !!
