Well you're still off by a factor of five (4.5 if you are using the nine
girls figure and the song lyrics).
Now I also thought that was a Beach Boys song - but then a number of
songs I thought were Beach Boys songs turn out to be Jan and Dean. In the
case of Surf City, the song was co-written by Brian Wilson, so the
confusion is understandable.
