The Beach Boys are an American rock band, formed in 1961 in Hawthorne, California.

Ah ah ah ah ahhhhh

Now a young man's gone
But his legend lingers on
For so much had he to give

No one knows the reason why

Screaming tire, flashing fire

Oh how could they let him die

Still a young man is gone
Yet his legend lingers on
For he died without a cause

And they say that he'll
Be known for evermore
As the 'Rebel Without A Cause'
