So it's officially summer as of last week, and tonight we're going to just enjoy a fun summer song (see what I did there)? The Beach Boys were kings of summery tunes that embodied the spirit of American youth and adventure. Sometimes they sang about surfing, sometimes cars, sometimes girls... sometimes all three. This one's mostly about the latter two, and kicks off with a sweet little tribute to Chuck Berry and "Johnny B. Goode"...
(OK, so maybe Brian Wilson got a little lazy, rhyming "now" with "now" with "now" here, but I think we can forgive that in light of the awesome harmonies and fun story... woops, did it again!)
"Well the girls can't stand her 'Cause she walks looks and drives like an ace now She makes the Indy 500 look like a Roman chariot race now A lotta guys try to catch her But she leads them on a wild goose chase now..."
