''Shut Down Volume 2'' is the fifth album in Music/TheBeachBoys' discography. This LP would be the first release of the band after rhythm guitarist David Marks left the band and founding member Music/AlJardine came back to fill in David's role.

This album is home to two major hits in the band's career: ''Fun, Fun, Fun'' and ''Don't Worry Baby''. Many people were confused by the album's title (''Shut Down Volume 1'' is the name of a compilation of car songs released by Capitol records) but it didn't stop it from reaching the 13th place in the Billboard.

* AlbumFiller: '' 'Cassius' Love Vs. 'Sonny Wilson'' is a spoken-word track where Mike and Brian mock each other over their singing voice. It is also the longest track on the album.
* AlliterativeTitle: ''Fun, Fun, Fun'', ''Pom, Pom Play Girl'' and ''Louie Louie''.
* AnswerSong: ''Don't Worry Baby'' is undoubtedly a call-back to [[Music/RonnieSpector The Ronettes]]' ''Be My Baby'', whether it is the title or the drums on the intro.
* ArtifactTitle: The first volume of ''Shut Down'' is a compilation of hot-rod songs (which includes Beach Boys tracks).
* CarSong: ''This Car Of Mine''.
* CoverVersion: ''Why Do Fools Fall In Love'' (by Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers) and ''Louie Louie'' (by Richard Berry).
* DemotedToExtra: Although David Marks isn't credited on the album, he said that he is behind the bridge/guitar solo of ''Don't Worry Baby''. He recalled that Brian once brought him at a studio for the recording session of another track. David improvized with two chords without knowing that it would end up in the song.
