The Song of the Day is Spirit of America. This song was written by Brian Wilson and Roger Christian. This is off their 1963 Album Little Deuce Coupe. The lyrics, written by Beach Boys collaborator Roger Christian, were written as a tribute to Craig Breedlove and his record-breaking Spirit of America car. Christian, who not only worked with The Beach Boys, but with other surf rock artists, had also written similar lyrics for Ballad of Bonneville, a song for Gary Ushers band, The Super Stocks. Usher later said, Roger would give Brian [Wilson], Jan [Dean] and I similar lyrics, and not tell us he was doing so! As it turned out, we wouldnt know this until the songs were released! The songs themselves, or the ideas, were much the same, even though they werent copied. That was just how Roger did things. The song also was used as the title track to the bands compilation album Spirit of America, the follow-up to their number one compilation album Endless Summer. https://youtube/watch?v=Gc0cvsSwvs0
