Liner notes

Living in Santa Claus, IN in the mid-eighties, I was subjected to watching pictures of a cool waterpark, with a voice-over on TV. It was a commercial for Westlake Waterpark, and it drove me crazy because there was NO music. I kept thinking THIS commercial should have a cool Beach Boy song playing that would enhance the images. I finally had enough, and created this soundtrack. Westlake liked it, and sent it to their ad agency. The rest is history!

Lyrics

Weslake Means Summer!
by Bruce Bergh

Weslake means summer!

The spirit of summer comes alive
When your splashin' down Weslake waterslide
Slopin' and slippin'
Drenched and drippin'
Or relaxed and sippin' on the other side!

Weslake means summer!
Weslake means summer!
Come on out and ride
The Weslake water slide
(Weslake means summer!)
