Surfin' USA

The song "Surfin' U.S.A." by the Beach Boys was released as a single on March 4, 1963, and later became the opening track on their album of the same name. It was credited to Chuck Berry and Brian Wilson, but was actually a rewritten version of Berry's "Sweet Little Sixteen" with new lyrics written by Wilson and Mike Love. The song was a huge success, peaking at number two on the Music Vendor chart and number three on the Billboard and Cash Box charts, and was ranked the number 1 song of 1963 by Billboard. It has since become an iconic representation of the California Sound and a staple of American rock music. The song's lyrics depict a stereotypical vision of California as a paradise of freedom and security, where everyone can enjoy the material benefits of surfing and other beach activities. The song's composition features a recognizable steady, upbeat drum tempo and lyrics that compare California to the rest of the United States.learn more on wikipedia
