"Chug-A-Lug" is a song written by Brian Wilson, Gary Usher and Mike Love for the American rock band The Beach Boys. It was released on their 1962 album Surfin' Safari.[1]

Contents

Composition

The lyrics of the song are about the members of the band hanging out at a root beer stand and drinking mugs of root beer while talking about girls, cars, and music.[2] The song was originally credited to just Wilson and Usher. Mike Love's name was added as a result of a lawsuit filed by him against Wilson in the 1990s.[3]

Recording

"Chug-A-Lug" was recorded at Capitol Records with two other songs for Surfin' Safari on August 8, 1962. The session was officially produced by Nik Venet, though many of the participants claim that Brian Wilson was just as responsible for the production as Venet.[4]
