Fifty years ago..............................

The Marketts.........................................Out of Limits




Some fun wiki facts (not to be confused with real facts):  First pressings were issued as "Outer Limits", named after the television program of the same name. The song was a surf variation of that show's theme song. However,Rod Serling sued the Marketts for quoting the four note motif from his television show,The Twilight Zone, without his approval, which resulted in the change of the title to "Out of Limits".[3][4] The record has been described as "an intriguing up-beat disc with a galloping rhythm".[1]

Released in 1963, this song peaked at #3 in February of 1964.   It sits at #60 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles for 1964.
