Surfer Billy is the 4th video release of Crushed Out's 2014 TEETH album. Order 12"/CD/DL at http://crushedoutmusic.bandcamp.com/album/teeth

Surfer Billy is a song written from the perspective of a character in present day territorial, macho and violent So Cal beach culture. Wealth lives next to poverty, below the surface are tensions between generations, cultures and races.

Guitarist and vocalist Franklin Hoier grew up in the South Bay of Los Angeles, amongst surfers, skaters, graffiti artists, millionaires and beach bum drifters. Surfer Billy is a bit of all of these, though not quite any one.

Surfer Billy keeps all his fears at bay by finding any chance to show his teeth.

The final verse of the song finds him at a beach bonfire with a question in mind, "is it ego or boredom that is stoking my violent mind?"

LYRICS

When I comb back my hair I make the surfer chicks go wild

My six pack is known to make all the middle school girls sigh

I love a new one each day and I don't care when they cry

I'm too good looking to let anything shake up my good time

Oh, when you see Surfer Billy

In just a moment you will feel the sinking in of my teeth

In Redondo I make all the kooks go run and hide

Me and the homies is dangerous crazy and will fight

Our spot is only for locals, they know that they can't ride

Go ahead and drop in on my wave and you will find

Oh, that when you see Surfer Billy

In just a moment you will feel the sinking in of my teeth

The sun sets into the ocean, I'm on the beach until night time

I skate the strand but what I'm looking for I never do find

These nights reflective I wonder as I gaze into the bonfire

Is it ego or boredom that's stoking my violent mind?

Oh, when you see Surfer Billy

In just a moment you will feel the sinking in of my teeth
