Here's the trailer

"Surf ridin', skin divin', sky jumpin', drag racin', beach bashin' boys and their bikini beauties...in a blast of a beach brawl!" Three aspiring rockers in a group called, "The Wigglers," attempt to raise enough money to get their instruments out of hock. Very cool Long Beach, California custom-car show featuring the Silhouette!

"Beach Ball" feels like the companion film to, "The Girls on the Beach." The music will knock your socks off! Edd Byrnes says stuff like,"Don't bug me, baby. I'm in orbit." Look for Sid Haig as the drummer for Righteous Brothers!

The Supremes sing "Come to the Beach Ball with Me" and "Surfer Boy"; the Four Seasons sing "Dawn"; the Hondells sing Brian Wilson's "My Buddy Seat"; the Righteous Brothers go ape on "Baby What You Want Me to Do"; and the Walker Brothers wail on "Doin' the Jerk".
