I've always understood that it means that he's "up" as well. Surf is up and so is he. And what this "up" means should be pretty obvious.
On Jim Steinman fans tribute album "Nothing But a Merciless Night" there ist a cover sung by a woman. She sings "Surf's wet and so am I." :)
I love this song, it's among my top five Steinsongs but I preger "Jim's" (Rory Dodd's) version of the song. I think his gentle beautiful voice suits better to this type of song, besides the whole production is so much _more_ than on the Meat's version. Other than that, I don't like the fact that Meat's version is faster than the original.
In my opinion the only Meat cover that's significantly better than the original is Out of the Frying Pan.
Meat: 8/10
Rory: 10/10
