Jan and Dean

Jan and Dean were a rock and roll duo best known as the rival of The Beach Boys. They were greatly successful, primarily in the sixties, with numerous hit singles. Like the Beach Boys, they helped popularize the new surf craze going on at the time and associated with California, Hawaii, and Florida. They did this through hits like Honolulu Lulu, Ride the Wild Surf, and Surf City. Their hit Little Old Lady from Pasadena mocks used car dealerships, where the sellers would always claim that the car was gently used because it had been previously owned by a "little old lady from Pasadena". They also had a hit as "Jan and Arnie" with the song Jennie Lee. They had four bestselling albums. Weird Al Yankovic parodied them with his song Trigger Happy.
