Formed in 1961, The Beach Boys gained popularity for their close vocal harmonies and lyrics reflecting a California youth culture of surfing, girls, and cars.
The Beach Boys have often been called "America's Band" and have had thirty-six U.S. Top 40 hits (the most of any U.S. rock band) and 56 Hot 100 hits, including four number one singles.
The song is prominently featured in the 2006 thriller Déjà Vu.
