"Shut Down" is a song written by Brian Wilson and Roger Christian for the American rock band the Beach Boys. The primary melody is a twelve-bar blues.[4] On March 4, 1963, it was released as the B-side of the single "Surfin' U.S.A.", three weeks ahead of the album of the same name on which both tracks appeared.[1] Capitol Records released it again later that year on the album Little Deuce Coupe. The single peaked at No. 23 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart (No. 7 on the United Press International chart published in newspapers), and No. 34 in the UK.
