Shut Down (The Beach Boys song)

"Shut Down" is a song written by Brian Wilson and Roger Christian for the American rock band the Beach Boys. The primary melody is a twelve-bar blues. On March 4, 1963, it was released as the B-side of the single "Surfin' U.S.A.", three weeks ahead of the album of the same name on which both tracks appeared. Capitol Records released it again later that year on the album Little Deuce Coupe. The single peaked at No. 23 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart (No. 7 on the United Press International chart published in newspapers), and No. 34 in the UK.
