abstract
  • %22Little Deuce Coupe%22 is a song written by Brian Wilson and Roger Christian. Its main melody is a Twelve-bar blues. The song first appeared as the b-side to The Beach Boys' 1963 single %22Surfer Girl%22. It was released on the Surfer Girl album and then again as the title track of the album Little Deuce Coupe.%22Surfer Girl%22 reached #7 on the Billboard Hot 100, while %22Little Deuce Coupe%22 became The Beach Boys' highest charting b-side, making it to #15. It was the first of the Beach Boys' b-sides to receive a million spins on US radio. Internationally, it was reported by a French internet publication to be the 20th biggest hit of 1963 in that country.According to author Jon Stebbins in his book The Lost Beach Boy, while the group was on tour in July 1963 Mike Love hit on the idea to use short instrumental segments of the song in the Beach Boys' live set as a way to introduce the bandmembers to the audience, starting with Dennis Wilson on drums, then adding David Marks (and later Al Jardine) on rhythm guitar, Carl Wilson on lead guitar, and finally Brian on the bass, before launching the song from the top.
