Music
The original score for this film, like Muscle Beach Party before it, was composed by Les Baxter.
Guy Hemric and Jerry Styner wrote several songs for the film: "Bikini Beach" performed by the cast; "Love's a Secret Weapon" sung by Donna Loren; "Gimmie Your Love" sung by Avalon; "This Time It's Love" sung by Funicello; "Because You're You" sung by Avalon and Funicello.
Hemric and Styner also wrote two songs that featured The Pyramids doing back up: "How About That?," sung as a duet by Avalon; and "Happy Feelin’ (Dance and Shout)" sung by Little Stevie Wonder.
The Pyramids performed two additional songs – both which were written by Gary Usher and Roger Christian for the film: “Record Run” and the instrumental "Bikini Drag."
Candy Johnson’s band, The Exciters, perform "Gotcha Where I Wantcha," written by Jack Merrill and Red Gilson.

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“Westminster Abbey is nature crystallized into a conventional form by man, with his sorrows, his joys, his failures, and his seeking for the Great Spirit. It is a frozen requiem, with a nation’s prayer ever in dumb music ascending.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
“The music in my heart I bore,
Long after it was heard no more.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
