[QUOTE="DS, post: 860379, member: 556"] The lyrics are basically a guide to good surf locations, but the "Surfin' U.S.A." music was based on Chuck Berry's 1958 hit "[URL="http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=1771"]Sweet Little Sixteen[/URL]." The Beach Boys did it as a tribute to Berry, but didn't get his permission first - maybe because Berry was in jail for transporting a minor across state lines. When Berry threatened to sue, The Beach Boys agreed to give him most of the royalties and list him as the song's composer. The song also helped build Berry's legend while he served his time. And that's the truth [/QUOTE]
