Fun, Fun, fun
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) This song is about a girl who borrows her father's Ford Thunderbird. When is the last time you drove someone else's car? I don't remember--it's been a long time
7) This song was recorded on January 1, 1964. The Beach Boys had to work on the holiday because they were under pressure to meet a February release date. How did you spend New Year's Day 2026? I was contemplating my intentions for the year and deciding if I wanted to restructure my blog
8) 1964 was a great year for Capitol Records. They had chart-topping hits by the Beach Boys, Barbra Streisand and, most spectacularly, The Beatles. The Capitol Records Building in Los Angeles is considered iconic and it's a stop on tourist bus tours. Have you ever been to Southern California? If yes, what did you do? yes--I went to visit my sister on an air force base (I don't remember what it was called)
9) Random question: What's the last compliment you received? I was with my Breakfast Club friends this morning and we bumped into one of my students who gave me a big hug and a huge hello and my friends complimented that every time we're together and run into students or former students, the kids are always delighted to see me 😀

2) The teen in question is well known for ability to drive "like an ace." If we were to ask your high school classmates what they remember most about you, what do you think they'd say? that I was a drama nerd--performing and singing were my thing
3) She told her father she needed the car to go to the library but used it instead to meet friends. Can you recall a time your parents caught you in a fib? I do not remember
4) For this girl and her friends, fun centered on cars and fast food. What did you and your friends do for fun during your teen years? we drove around on Main Street or had movie parties
5) Legend has it songwriters Brian Wilson and Mike Love got the idea for this song from a Salt Lake City disc jockey. He told them he'd lent his T-bird to his daughter so she could go to class at the community college but discovered her deception when the car was ticketed in front of a fast food restaurant. Can you think of another song inspired by true events? "American Pie" comes to mind
6) As in the song, the disc jockey punished his daughter by taking her driving privileges away. Were your parents strict when you were growing up? oh no, they were lax
