“My Little Deuce Coupe” by the Beach Boys
“My little deuce coupe” by the Beach Boys Little deuce Coupe You don`t know what I got Little deuce Coupe You don`t know what I got Well I`m not braggin` babe so don`t put me down• But I`ve got the fastest set of wheels in town When something comes up to me he don`t even try Cause if I had a set of wings man I know she could fly She`s my little deuce coupe You don`t know what I got (My little deuce coupe) (You don`t know what I got) Just a little deuce coupe with a flat head mill But she`ll walk a Thunderbird like (she`s) it`s standin` still She`s ported and relieved and she`s stroked and bored. She`ll do a hundred and forty with the top end floored She`s my little deuce coupe You don`t know what I got (My little deuce coupe) (You don`t know what I got) She`s got a competition clutch with the four on the floor And she purrs like a kitten till the lake pipes roar And if that aint enough to make you flip your lid There`s one more thing, I got the pink slip daddy And comin` off the line when the light turns green Well she blows `em outta the water like you never seen I get pushed out of shape and it`s hard to steer When I get rubber in all four gears She`s my little deuce coupe You don`t know what I got She`s ported and relieved and she`s stroked and bored.

Pet Sounds”—The Beach Boys (1966) Added to the National Registry: 2004 Essay by Tom Smucker (Guest Post)*
“Pet Sounds”—The Beach Boys (1966) Added to the National Registry: 2004 Essay by Tom Smucker (guest post)* Album cover Original label The Beach Boys Released in May of 1966, “Pet Sounds” was initially understood by some as a new pop music paradigm, for others as a rock betrayal, for a few as a source of personal solace. In the USA, it was also a financial disappointment, a potentially career collapsing abandonment of the Beach Boys surf, car, and summer songs. Across the Atlantic in the UK, the album received a crucially different debut. Keith Moon of The Who helped Bruce Johnston of the Beach Boys set up a publicized pre-release “Pet Sounds” enthusiastic listen in London for John Lennon and Paul McCartney. With that recognition established, the LP and the Beach Boys continued their overseas ascent in esteem and popularity while dropping out of favor, if not out of sight, in the United States. As had been his practice previously in the studio, Brian Wilson worked out the instrumental tracks with the cream of LA studio musicians, the so-called “Wrecking Crew,” while the rest of the group was on tour, returning to add their complex yet heartfelt vocal harmonies on the top. In “Pet Sounds,” these tracks were packed with found sounds, countermelodies, and an unpredictable variety of instrumentation that gave each cut a distinctive signature while still part of a coherent whole. Brian was composing using the modern mid-1960s recording studio as his instrument. It was this example that inspired George Martin and the Beatles to expand their exploration of the studio with their own sensibility for “Sgt.

SURF MUSIC by Geoffrey Himes
SURF MUSIC By Geoffrey Himes It often seems that the United States is a pool table that has been tilted so all its hopes and dreams roll to the west. Whenever Americans want a new and better life, they head toward the setting sun. Whether it was the white-canvas covered wagons of the 1850s, the rusty Okie jalopies of the 1930s or the painted hippie vans of the 1960s, the direction is always westward—and eventually they collect in the pool table’s corner pocket known as Southern California. When Chuck Berry went chasing after his imagined utopia in the song “Promised Land," where did he end up? Los Angeles. Thousands of Hollywood movies had advertised Southern California as a nirvana of palm trees, sunshine, beautiful girls and beautiful boys, convincing folks from Oklahoma, Kansas and Ohio to pack up and move to the coast. By the end of the 1950s, the area around L.A. was full of almost as many transplanted Midwesterners as native Californians. The natives knew the region was no utopia, but the first and second-generation immigrants, these strangers in paradise, still clung to the notion of America’s western edge as the place where their dreams might come true. The teens and twentysomethings in these families—too young and too new to the West Coast to be disillusioned— turned that utopian impulse into a new kind of rock'n'roll: surf music. Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson, whose father and mother had moved to California from Kansas and Minnesota respectively, formed the Beach Boys.
