4 | ''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 Music/DavidMarks left the band and founding member Music/AlJardine came back to fill in David's role. |

6 | 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. |

35 | !!And she has fun fun fun 'til her father tropes the T-Bird away: |
36 | * 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. |
37 | * AlliterativeTitle: "Fun, Fun, Fun", "Pom, Pom Play Girl" and "Louie Louie". |
38 | * 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. |
39 | * ArtifactTitle: The first volume of "Shut Down" is a compilation of hot-rod songs (which includes Beach Boys tracks). |
40 | * CarSong: "This Car Of Mine". |
41 | * CoverVersion: "Why Do Fools Fall In Love" (by Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers) and "Louie Louie" (by Richard Berry). |
42 | * DemotedToExtra: Although Music/DavidMarks 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. |
43 | * DoubleDoubleTitle: "Fun, Fun, Fun" and "Louie Louie". |
44 | * FaceOnTheCover: Featuring the band's original lineup along with a Corvette Sting Ray and a Pontiac. |
45 | * {{Instrumentals}}: "Shut Down Part 2" and "Denny's Drums". |
46 | * LyricalColdOpen: "In The Parkin' Lot" and "The Warmth Of The Sun". |
47 | * OneWomanSong: "Pom Pom Play Girl". |
48 | * PomPomGirl: The premise of "Pom, Pom Play Girl". |
49 | * SelfDeprecation: ""Cassius" Love Vs. "Sonny" Wilson" showcases The Beach Boys mocking the voices of Brian and Mike. Brian's voice sounding like "Mickey Mouse with a sore throat" and Mike's voicing sounding like "his nose is on the critical list". |
50 | * ShoutOut: "Don't Worry Baby" references the famous drum intro of [[Music/RonnieSpector The Ronettes]]' "Be My Baby". |
51 | ** "Fun, Fun, Fun" has a guitar intro which is quite reminescent of Music/ChuckBerry's "Johnny B. Good". |
52 | ** ""Cassius" Love Vs. "Sonny" Wilson"'s title references boxing champions Cassius Clay (now known as UsefulNotes/MuhammadAli) and Sonny Liston. |
53 | * SpokenWordInMusic: ""Cassius" Love Vs. "Sonny Wilson" is the only track which has spoken passages, although samples of "Little Deuce Coupe", "In My Room" and "Fun, Fun, Fun" are played throughout. |
54 | * StepUpToTheMicrophone: Carl sings lead on ''Pom Pom Play Girl'' while Dennis only sings on "This Car Of Mine". |
55 | ** Even though Al Jardine sang his first vocal lead on ''Music/TheBeachBoysChristmasAlbum'', you can clearly hear him presenting himself on ""Cassius" Love Vs. Sonny Wilson" . |
56 | * TitleTrack: "Shut Down Part II" is probably a filler written just to reference the album's title. |
