We decided to ask the Liles, Dudas, and Adams to all get together and "Camp Out" in the bad lands of Seal Beach. We are so happy to have the "kids" get together and get the grand kids to know one another.

Beep Beep - My cart goes Beep Beep Beep

Do You Remember? - "Beep Beep" is a song by The Playmates. The song describes a duel between the drivers of a Cadillac and a Nash Rambler on the road.

The song is an example of accelerando, in which the tempo of the song gradually increases throughout the song.

The song was on the Billboard Top 40 charts for twelve weeks, and peaked at #20. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. Concurrently with this song, American Motors (AMC) was setting production and sales records for the Rambler models.

Because of a directive by the BBC that songs not include brand names in their lyrics, a version of "Beep Beep" was recorded for the European market replacing the Cadillac and Nash Rambler with the generic terms limousine and bubble car.
