The Beach Boys

== Info ==
Surf pop band whose popularity helped bring the surf rock sound to the mainstream. The song Kokomo is about a fictional place, although a resort off the Florida keys (where the "Kokomo" in the song is said to be) was named for the song. The song Don't Worry Baby is about a car. The song Little Honda is about a motorcycle. The song "Surfin' U.S.A." uses the same riff as Chuck Berry's "Sweet Little Sixteen". This caused controversy.
