Beach Boys - Little Deuce Coupe (Stars & Stripes, Vol. 1)
Little deuce Coupe
You don't know what I got
Little deuce Coupe
You don't know what I got
Well I'm not braggin' babe so don't put me down
But I've got the fastest set of wheels in town
When something comes up to me he don't even try
Cause if I had a set of wings man I know she could fly
She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
(My little deuce coupe)
(You don't know what I got)
Just a little deuce coupe with a flat head mill
But she'll walk a Thunderbird like (she's) it's standin' still
She's ported and relieved and she's stroked and bored.
She'll do a hundred and forty with the top end floored
She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
(My little deuce coupe)
(You don't know what I got)
She's got a competition clutch with the four on the floor
And she purrs like a kitten till the lake pipes roar
And if that aint enough to make you flip your lid
There's one more thing, I got the pink slip daddy
And comin' off the line when the light turns green
Well she blows 'em outta the water like you never seen
I get pushed out of shape and it's hard to steer
When I get rubber in all four gears
She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
(My little deuce coupe)
(You don't know what I got)
She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
(My little deuce coupe)
(You don't know what I got)
She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got

pink slips were basically the titles to the car.
in the 1950s and such when teens would race, it became popular to race for pink slips. this carries over to today in modern street racing.

it is just me or does mike love always look like he's about to take a shit? what a talentless hanger-on.

Remember, too, that the Beatles had great respect for these guys, including as they did a homage to them on the White Album; in particular, Brian Wilson's harmonic command could give even George Martin pause. It's often the most casual looking artists that conceal real artistry behind the apparently facile facade.

Totally true. And the studio harmonies on a song like LDC are positively magical.

He wrote a lot of the Beach Boys lyrics over the years and was probably second only to Brian Wilson in creative input. He's kept the Beach Boys alive for decades including the death of two original members and the decades that Brian Wilson was completely out of it. Like him or not as you see fit but he was far from a hanger-on.

If you've purchased a car in the US in the last 70 years you will be given a pink copy of the sales receipt still. That shows you have title and possession of said vehicle. Ironically I still walk around with the pink slip for my car just because I can. I blame this song. Tommy explained it earlier, but every state in the US still issues the buyer a pink copy of the sales receipt if they use private finance or buy the car outright from a dealer.
