The Beach Boys - 409 [MP4]

409 (song)
"409" is a song written by Brian Wilson, Mike Love and Gary Usher for the American rock and roll band the Beach Boys. The song features Love singing lead vocals. It was originally released as the B-side of the single "Surfin' Safari" (1962). It was later released on their 1962 album, Surfin' Safari and appeared again on their 1963 album, Little Deuce Coupe.
The song is credited for initiating the hot rod music craze of the 1960s. The "409" referenced in its lyric is the Chevrolet 409.
Composition
The song was inspired by Gary Usher's obsession with hot rods. The group's treatment of this, one of their first major releases recorded April 1962 (released June 4th), reflects their influence by black R&B acts popular on Los Angeles radio stations at the time and shows a more raw approach to rock and roll than their much more polished releases continuing in 1963. It stayed one week on the 'Billboard' Hot Hundred at number seventy-six in October 1962.

409
A 409-cubic-inch (6.7 L) version was Chevrolet's top regular production engine from 1961 to 1965, with a choice of single or dual four-barrel carburetors. Bore and stroke were both up from the 348 to 4.312 in (109.5 mm) by 3.50 in (88.9 mm). On December 17, 1960, the 409 engine was announced along with the Impala SS (Super Sport) model. The initial version of the engine produced 360 hp (268 kW), with a single four-barrel Carter AFB carburetor. The same engine was upped to 380 hp (283 kW) in 1962. A 409 hp (305 kW) version of this engine was also available, developing 1 hp per cubic inch with a dual four-barrel aluminum intake manifold and two Carter AFB carburetors. It had a forged steel crankshaft.
In the 1963 model year, output reached 425 hp (317 kW) at 6200 rpm with the 2X4 setup, 11.25:1 compression and a solid lifter camshaft. This engine was immortalized in the Beach Boys song titled "409". The engine was available through mid-1965, when it was replaced by the 396-cubic-inch 375 hp (280 kW) Mark IV big-block engine.
