Sneakin' In To The USA: Remake of Surfin' USA: Remake of Sweet Little Sixteen

For those looking for yet another lighter weekend moment, I can oblige with a trilogy of musical videos to compare.

Rusty Humphries made an entertaining (some may say "politically incorrect" or insensitive) remake of the 1963 Beach Boys hit tune Surfin' USA, which in turn was actually a remake of Chuck Berry's 1958 hit Sweet Little Sixteen.

Here are three versions to compare.

Some of those who did not know the true origin of Surfin' USA, do now.
