"Let's Go Surfing" is the debut single by American band the Drums, released from their self-titled debut album. The single was first released in the UK on 15 September 2009[1] as the lead single from the band's debut EP Summertime!, but was later re-released on 9 August 2010. On both releases, the track was released as a double A-side with the Summertime! EP exclusive track "Don't Be a Jerk, Johnny", although only the lead track received chart placement in the UK. An excerpt of the song was used in advertising for Volkswagen, and it featured frequently in the third series of the E4 coming-of-age sitcom The Inbetweeners.
In October 2011, NME placed it at number 60 on its list of the "150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years".[2]
