Shut Down" is a song written by Brian Wilson, Roger Christian and Mike Love for the American pop band The Beach Boys. It was released on their 1963 album Surfin' USA and was also released on their 1963 album Little Deuce Coupe. It was also released as the B-side of the "Surfin' USA" single. The single peaked at #3 in the U.S. and #34 in the U.K.
The song details a drag race between a Super-Stock 413 cu. in.-powered 1962 Dodge Dart and a fuel injected 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray.
The song was originally credited to just Wilson and Christian. Mike Love's name was added as a result of a lawsuit filed by him against Wilson in the 1990s.,"Shut Down, Part II" is an instrumental song written by Carl Wilson for the American pop band The Beach Boys as a reprise for the song Shut Down (released on the albums Surfin' USA and Little Deuce Coupe. It was released on their 1964 album Shut Down Volume 2.
It opens with Mike Love's count-in, then a fuzz part (from the Shut Down bridge) follows. The song itself is a 12-bar rock'n'roll, and each tenth bar instead of usual V or IV is changed to bVI.

Rock On Brian, Carl, & @ravansee!

The instrumental version that you've posted here really rocks !! A regular smokin little number .. very enjoyable. I know that Capitol issued some of these in-the-closet orig-unreleased pure gems, back in the 90s .. but, for my money, the more we can get of numbers like this one, the better .. I'll take all that I can hear ... many thanks, Amnon
