      Hey, just stumbled across your great blog looking for Knott's music. A minor correction but the version of Barbara Ann that Knott's played was the original by The Regents, not the Beach Boys. I used to work there and heard it all day. I wish they would go back to that soundtrack since it fit that part of the park more appropriately.

        Thank you! I didn't realize I had the wrong version. Song has been updated. I agree, that music did *sort of* fit better, although the 40s-60s music playing in a "20s themed" area never sat well with me. Still better than the current top 40s music they play. I used to work there as well.

      I love that when I would go I'd walk down the boardwalk and hear "All You Wanted" by Michelle Branch. Now every time I listen to it, it reminds me of the Knott's boardwalk.

      They used to play Do You Wanna Dance by Bobby Freeman too
