The Beach Boys - Fun, Fun, Fun (1964) 4K

The Beach Boys performing "Fun, Fun, Fun", released originally in February, 1964.

It reached #6 on the Australian Singles Chart, #8 on the New Zealand (Lever Hit Parade), #5 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and #49 on the West Germany (Official German Charts).

The song was written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love. The lyrics are partly inspired by events from Dennis Wilson's life. Russ Titelman recalled that he visited Brian while he was working on the song, and that its original lyric was "Run, Run, Run".

According to Salt Lake City radio manager Bill "Daddy-O" Hesterman of KNAK, an early promoter of the Beach Boys who brought them to Utah for appearances and concerts, the song was inspired by an incident involving Shirley Johnson, the station owner's daughter.

Johnson had borrowed her father's 1963 Thunderbird, which had a University of Utah parking sticker, ostensibly to go study at the University library. Instead, she went to Shore's Drive In, a hamburger shop on the corner of 33rd South and 27th East.

When the deception came to light, her driving privileges were revoked. In 2007, Johnson told KSL News that she was complaining loudly about the incident at the radio station, where she worked as a part-time secretary, when the Beach Boys happened to be there for an interview. Hesterman said that Wilson and Love, amused by the incident, jotted down the beginnings of the song as he took them to the airport that afternoon

The opening electric guitar introduction of the song was based on Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode", and the track's punctuated drum fills were inspired by the work of Phil Spector. Musicologist Philip Lambert noted that the initial two phrases of the song are based on almost the same chord progression as the first two phrases of "Da Doo Ron Ron", and are melodically similar.

Stereo version mixed and mastered in collaboration with @radiowollaton8521
