Beach Boys, The - Surfin Safari flac album

The album peaked at No. 32 in its 37-week run on the US charts.

Surfin' Safari, originally released in 1962, was the second song ever released by The Beach Boys. Released as a single and backed by the song 409, the song peaked at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart, and would remain on the chart for 17 weeks.

In classic Beach Boys style, the song focuses on three subjects: surfing, women, and cars. In Surfin' Safari, the former takes precedence.
