By the latter part of 1963 surf music dominated the Australian Charts, particularly in Sydney and Brisbane. The Delltones were quick to release the tongue in cheek composition, "Hangin' Five", written by Ben Acton who was a police officer and also a lifesaver with Manly Surf Club and a member of the police band. This release was almost as successful as "Come A Little Bit Closer" – reaching number 3. "Hangin' Five" became a cult classic in California along with The Atlantics instrumental "Bombora".[15] "Hangin' Five" also featured in Mel Gibson's first movie, a 1977 release called Summer City. In 1963, The Delltones picked up four radio awards including "Gold and Silver Baton Award," "Golden Microphone Award", and "The Best Australian Record Award".
Once again an album was quickly issued and consisted mainly of current surf hit covers. Since the surf craze showed little signs of waning, the next single "Out the Back" was also written by Ben Acton, but it failed to capture the light hearted spirit of "Hangin' Five".
