"Little Deuce Coupe" is a song written by Brian Wilson and Roger Christian. The song first appeared on the Surfer Girl album. It was later featured as the title track of the album Little Deuce Coupe, by American band The Beach Boys.
The music was written by Brian Wilson with the lyrics by local radio station DJ Roger Christian, it typified the Beach Boys' "car songs" which along with "surfing", glamourised the teenage 1960s Californian lifestyle. Lead vocals were performed by Mike Love.
The car referred to is the Ford Model B; the 1932 model was referred to as a "deuce coupe". Model Bs were readily available and easily modified, as auto enthusiasts (or "hot rodders") removed spare weight and improved the engine.
On their 1996 album Stars & Stripes, Vol. 1, the Beach Boys re-recorded this song with country music artist James House.
