Meatball Flag

Band who's song “Soul Gidget,’’ is “one of the few known attempts at black surf music," in Thomas Pynchon’s 2009 novel, Inherent Vice.

Lyrics:

Who’s that strollin’ down the street,

Hi-heel flip-flops on her feet,

Always got a great big smile,

Never gets popped by Juv-o-nile

Who is it? [Minor-seventh guitar fill]

Soul Gidget!
