Talk:Pipeline (instrumental)

Cover versions
Is Pipeline one of the most covered "Surf" songs of all time? Maybe. In the "Pop" category, I hear that "Yesterday" by Paul McCartney has 3000 recorded versions. There are at least three different songs by the name "Pipeline". Beginnning in summer 2006, I have verified over 200 different artists covering the song Pipeline by Carman/Spickard. I have found another 70+ listings of songs that I have not yet verified to be the Pipeline by Carman/Spickard. I suspect that many versions have been lost in the sea of time. Does anyone know where I can find a comprehensive list of covers? Do royalty companies release this sort of information?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Article says it was recorded in 1963 but released December 1962. Elrox (talk) 15:50, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

renaming date
Article says that the tune was renamed *from* "Liberty's Whip" *after* the band members saw The Endless Summer. The tune was already named "Pipeline" before it reached the Hot 100 in March 1963. The Endless Summer wasn't released until 15 June 1966. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.51.124.13 (talk • contribs) 18:04, July 30, 2011(UTC)


 * Thank you for that observation. I found a reference about the change in the song's name.  Although it was changed after seeing a surfing movie, the timeline is such that it could not have been The Endless Summer.  I made some changes to reflect that.
