All the instruments together give it a jazz effect.

The Tempo of the piece is quite fast all the way through the song. Although in the Bridge it speeds up a little bit more.
 * Tempo: **

They start off the song loud (f), and then when they get into the Chorus' they became louder (ff), mainly due to the extra vocals. When it gets to the end of the song they start to fade away (m/mp)(get softer).
 * Dynamics:**

The back up vocals have a distinct voice when they come in at the chorus. They stand out above the main vocals. The back up vocals only come in most of the chorus'.
 * Singers:**

There are no instrumental solos or vocal solos in Surfin USA.
 * Solos:**

The time signature of Surfin USA is 4/4.
 * Beats Per Bar:**

I think that the feel of the music is happy and jazzy all the way through.
 * Feeling:**

The texture is fuller in the chorus because there are extra vocals. In the bridge the texture is less than the chorus' and verses because there are no vocals at all, although the Bridge is still strong.
 * Texture:**

The instruments play the same thing in Verses 1 and 2. They also play the same thing in each chorus. In the bridge and the coda the instruments repeat the music.
 * Repeated Patterns:**

The chords in the Verses, Bridges and Chorus are different. Although all the chorus' have the same chords, all the verses have the same chords and both of the bridges have the same chords. All the chords are the same in each section they are just in a different order.
 * Chord Patterns:**

The High Point of the song is at the chorus. Where the back up vocals come in and sing the high part.
