“Fun, Fun, Fun” is one in all The Beach Boys’ best-loved numbers, and a spotlight of their stay reveals for the previous 50 years. Released on February 3, 1964, it entered the Billboard Hot 100 on February 15 at No.69 and on the week of March 21, it climbed to No.5 on the charts.

I’d say, ‘Hey we’ll make the best record ever tonight.’ I had that kind of spirit – and goddamn if it didn’t work!”
