The Beach Boys didn't invent car culture in pop, or even the notion of a musical drag race. But when they put auto-themed songs such as "409" and "Shut Down" on the flip sides of their surfing singles, they codified a genre.

Connors); Produced by Terry Melcher and Bruce Johnston; Terry Melcher, lead and background vocals; Bruce Johnston, background vocals; Tommy Tedesco or Jerry Cole, guitar; Larry Knechtel, keyboards; Joe Osborn, bass; Hal Blaine, drums; Rec. Los Angeles, October 15, 1963. Columbia single 4-42921 (mx. HCO 71578); Originally Released 1963  |
