Released March 4, 1963

Claude says:The opening track and title cut of their 1963 album, "Surfin' U.S.A." was a transparent rewrite of Chuck Berry's "Sweet Little Sixteen" — Brian Wilson borrowed the melody wholesale and swapped in a list of surf spots supplied by his girlfriend's brother Jimmy. The single hit #3 on Billboard and became the defining emblem of the California Sound, turning a beach fantasy into the year's biggest song. You've played it exactly three times since 2021, mostly that title track, treating it more like a historical marker than something you queue up for fun.
