Beach Boys "Car Crazy Cutie"

http://beachboyssongs.com

The Beach Boys song “Car Crazy Cutie,” could best be described as a nostalgic tune dedicated to the loyal following of ‘cuties’ & ‘dolls’ attracted to an atmosphere of speed, excitement and thrills of drag racing on the quarter mile. Where, in addition to the deafening roar of the engines, there’s the sweet intoxicating scent of burning rubber, cooked fuel and a lingering exhaust that would rival even the finest baked desserts.

Another of the songs co-written by Brian Wilson & fellow “poet” Roger Christian, it was first recorded on September 2, 1963 and appeared on the popular Beach Boys album “Little Deuce Coupe.”

Although Car Crazy Cutie flew somewhat under the radar of some of the band’s other successful hits, it still has that certain signature quality of Brian’s, with his unique arrangement of vocal harmonies; this tune still ranks as a favorite for a number of the Beach Boys faithful.

Run a-run a doo run run
Wo run a-run a doo run run
Wo run a-run a doo run run
Wo run a-run a doo run run

Well, my steady little doll is a real-live beauty
And everybody knows she’s a car crazy cutie
She’s hip to everything man from customs to rails
And axle grease imbedded ‘neath her fingernails

Wo yeah
(Run a-run a doo run run)
Wo oh oh oh
(Wo run a-run a doo run run)

Oh oh oh now, cutie
(Wo run a-run a doo run run)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(Wo run a-run a doo run run)

A power shift in second and a-ridin’ the clutch
My car crazy cutie, man, she’s just too much
I take her to the drags, man and everyone flips
For her big blue eyes and her candy apple lips

Car crazy cutie

Well, I guess you might say she’s the rodder’s dream gal
Always there to help, man, when you need a pal (pair)?
But when I talk of lovin’ man, some kisses and hugs
Says she’s like to take ’em better clean and gap the plugs

Wo yeah
