The Honeys were formed in 1963 by Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys as the world's first all girl surf music group consisting of his girlfriend (and future wife), Marilyn Rovell, her sister, Diane, and their cousin, Ginger Blake. They got their name from the 1962 Beach Boys hit, Surfin' Safari, which contained the lyric : "Early in the morning we'll be startin' out, some Honeys will be comin' along..."
