"Surfin' Safari"

I recently listened to the first three Beach Boys albums (and Shut Down Volume 2 because it's paired with Surfer Girl on the CD re-issue), and I noticed a bunch of minor points to note.

In "Surfin' Safari," the line "From Hawaii to the shores of Peru" (describing how surfing is "gettin' bigger ev'ry day") is a merism.
