An update on the beach boys song "shutdown"
Don't Forget,
"The Little Old Lady From Pasadena"
Sitting in her rickety old garage,
A brand new shiny red Super Stock Dodge.
Coined by ........ Brian 'The Brain' Wilson
Brian never got writing credit for contributing to that 'Jan and Dean' song
because of contractual issues with their Record Company.
'The Beach Boys' recorded with Capitol Records. And they told Brian Wilson,
"no more contributing to other groups outside of Capitol Records".
'Jan and Dean' were the 'top' recording artists for Liberty Records.
In 1963 and 1964, they both were cutting 'West-Coast Surfer Music'.
But Brian Wilson was always the good and loyal 'bud', coming up with catchy lyrics for his friends.
How much did Brian contribute to > "The Little Old Lady From Pasadena".
Insiders at 'Liberty Records' said, Brian wrote about '4' verses for the song,
but only '1' was used.
