Today's Best Song Ever: "Tall Cool One" -- The Wailers

Starting out with a Mancini-like piano vamp over high-hat and launching into full-bore, saxed-up West Coast surfer stomp, this is one of the great instrumental tunes of the late 1950s.

Pre-dating both the Kingsmen and Paul Revere and the Raiders, Tacoma's Wailers are considered one of the earliest garage bands and were still in high school when they scored this hit.
