There's definitely some Beach Boys in there, but it's also influenced by the other big "surf" group, Jan and Dean. It might just be a matter of opinion, but I can hear more of them than I do the Beach Boys, so go figure.josheee @ Dec 6 2005, 05:14 PM wrote: I was listening to Trigger Happy last night, and it never occured to me that it had anything BUT the Beach Boys as far as a style it was parodying. It sounds very "Surfin Safari" to me.

That would require a whole slew of talents that I'm not sure they possess...weird user @ Apr 22 2007, 11:02 PM wrote: I was just thinking. If this song had been made as a music video, it would have been funny if Al and the band were holding and shooting guns while surfing at the beach.
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.

Sadly it seems that most of America shares the thought that Weird Al parodies in this song.
Anyway, I really like this song, probably because it was the song that got me intersted in Weird Al. It reminds me of Back In The U.S.S.R and Surfin' Safari.

I bought some batteries but they weren't included, so I bought them again.
