Jan and Dean / Sidewalk surfin I get but what is up with the Hondells. Did they have to ask Brian Wilson to cover that. Why did they want to do that as their song so bad?

They were assembled and produced by Brian's writing partner Gary Usher. Gary probably heard Little Honda and thought there was hit potential there for a motorcycle themed group. Pretty dumb, but surf and cars had worked for others so I'm sure it seemed worth a try.
I doubt the plan was for the Hondells to be a group that would continue recording - Gary was probably just looking for a one-off novelty hit. He wouldn't have needed Brian and Mike's permission to produce a cover but I'm sure they were aware and doubt they took issue - just more potential income for them as songwriters.
