Wipe Out

"Wipe Out" is a 1962 song first recorded by the Surfaris, who were elevated to international status with the release of the "Surfer Joe" single, with "Wipe Out" as the B-side.
The song was performed by Animal, on the 1993 Muppet Beach Party album. Animal's version was also released as a single. In the UK the single reached number 39 in the UK charts. "The Muppet Show Theme" was the B-Side and the CD also included "Mah Na Mah Na." It was released on cassette and a Limited Edition 7" vinyl picture disc. BMG mailed out a postcard to advertise the release and a poster was also printed for in store advertising.
The image was also printed on a T-Shirt in the UK by Black Cat Communications.
A music video was produced and broadcast on VH1 and Nickelodeon, with Animal rocking out over stock surfing footage, 1960s beach party movie clips, and a shot from a The New 3 Stooges TV short. The video also featured Muppet lobsters (playing tambourines), octopus (on guitar), shark, and beach-goer penguins.
The song was also used in the Sesame Street Live show 1-2-3 Imagine!.
