First Number One

I occasionally get asked by oldie fans if I know the first #1 song their favorite band had back in the day.  Yesterday someone asked the question about the Beach Boys... I replied "I Get Around".  They couldn't believe me but it is true.  The Beach Boys song "I Get Around" went to #1 on the Hot 100 in May of 1964 and stayed for two weeks.  And yes, the first song that took the Beach Boys to the top is a forgotten oldie.  Another great song... ignored today.
