lyrics

VERSE 1: Plastic circles, black groove spin
One way out and one way in
Transistors carry sounds of love and sin

VERSE 2: Ain’t talkin’ bout the underground
Want to groove again to that AM sound
When the styles went spinning round and round and
Round

CHORUS 1: KRLA Beat!
It’s the sound of summer, baby!
Pounding rhythms in the street

VERSE 3: Talkin’ bout the sound of ‘66
From the urban streets to the rural sticks
Motown horns and fuzztone guitar licks

CHORUS 2: KRLA Beat!
It’s the sound of summer, baby!
Pounding rhythms…

BRIDGE 1: Sing the body electric guitars
With songs beamed in from distant stars
A million radios, a million cars

BRIDGE 2: We were strangers in the night
Feeling lost and so uptight
Transistors made it seem alright, yes they did now
When we were tuning in

VERSE 3: From Altadena to Huntington Beach
The ear candy’s never out of reach
Got to learn the lessons that the DJs teach
Hear ‘em preach!

CHORUS 1: KRLA Beat!
It’s the sound of summer, baby!
Pounding rhythms in the street

Thirty years later, the current lineup features original members Hank Hoffman and Richard Brown—now playing guitar and flute as well as sax—along with drummer Tom Smith and bassist Randy Stone. Pop meets psych freakout. ... more
