Ties to Lagoon
Bombora audio
Three of Bombora's six audio tracks were performed by the Beach Boys. These songs are:
- Surfin Safari
- Surfin USA
- Catch a Wave
Performances
The Beach Boys performed at Lagoon at least seven times between 1963 and 1970. The band proved to be wildly popular with Utah teenagers and returned to hold more concerts in Salt Lake City just three months after their first performance at Lagoon.
Fun Fun Fun
On the night of September 7, 1963, after their first show at Lagoon, the Beach Boys wrote the song "Fun Fun Fun" in their hotel room. The song is about Shirley England, the daughter of the Utah radio station owner who promoted the show. The song became one of the band's greatest hits.
Reference to Lagoon
The Beach Boys song "Salt Lake City" on the 1965 album Summer Days (and Summer Nights!!) briefly references Lagoon. The specific lyrics are:
There's a park near the city, yeah all the kids dig the Lagoon now
It's full of all kinds of girls and rides and we'll be flyin' there soon now
