  Muscle Beach Party Recap - Movie Tome
Muscle Beach Party is some 94 minutes in length, naturally we shall forgo my usual structured scene by scene analysis (such an undertaking would be time consuming!) and instead focus on the essentials....
Malibu Beach is their's again, Frankie and Annette resume their relationship where it left off and all the guys and gals celebrate with a nightime fireside victory dance on the sands with Candy Johnson leading the gang doing her marvelous dancing.

 The Score of Muscle Beach Party Music of the Beach Party Movies
After we are introduced to a group of pompous bodybuilders (who immediately disrupt the beach) and a female millionaire desperate for romance (and her frantic business manager, played by Buddy Hackett in comparatively rare unamusing mode) we need a break, which is an excuse for some music.
Just to re-emphasize the core element of the Beach Party theme (which is “nice” kids having “wild” fun) as well to reinforce the storyline focus (the gang’s unwillingness to bend to the weightlifters next door), we are treated to a riotous dance number: Dick Dale and the Del-Tones are performing
However, during that snapshot she’s attractive and tuneful, to the degree that she got invited back for a solo number in the next film, which I guess is why the debut is seen as so important.

It's governance by brazen muscle power, by unfailing commitment to picking a target to destroy as an example of your ruthlessness, and your will to use any means necessary to establish and preserve your leadership.
It was supposed to be about a nation that used the ballot box to elect its officials, not partisan judicial appointments.
It was supposed to be a country with a thriving two party system -- and not a two party system where one party instills fear in the nation and the leaders of the other party just stand in fear.
