“Sea Cruise” foi escrita e gravada originalmente por Huey “Piano” Smith e His Clowns em 1958, mas a gravação só saiu ao público em 1971.
A versão que fez sucesso foi lançada em dezembro de 1958, com a voz de Frankie Ford sobreposta à faixa instrumental original de Smith, que incluía sinos de navio, efeitos de buzina, piano boogie‑woogie e uma seção de metais marcante.
O ritmo e o shuffle da gravação influenciaram o desenvolvimento do ska, sendo citados como referência para o gênero nas décadas seguintes.
O single alcançou a posição 14 na Billboard Hot 100 e vendeu mais de um milhão de cópias, recebendo certificação de disco de ouro.
