The Rolling Stones - Under The Boardwalk

"Under the Boardwalk" is a hit pop song written by Kenny Young and Arthur Resnick and recorded by The Drifters in 1964. The lyric describes a tryst between a man and his beloved in a seaside town (Coney Island, New York), who plan to privately meet "out of the sun" and out of sight from everyone else under a boardwalk.

Rolling Stones version was released as a single in December 1964 with B –side Walking the Dog.

"Walking the Dog" (or "Walkin' the Dog") is a Rufus Thomas song. It was released on his 1963 album Walking the Dog. It was his signature hit and also his biggest, reaching number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in December 1963 and remaining on the Hot 100 for 14 weeks.The lyrics make frequent references to children's nursery rhymes.

The song was covered by The Rolling Stones in 1964. Unlike most Stones' recordings, the songs features backing vocals by Brian Jones (most early Stones songs feature either Keith Richards or Bill Wyman on backing vocals) making their recording of the song unique among their catalogue.
