Best Answer

A version of "The Locomotion" erroneously attributed to the Beach Boys was actually recorded in 1974 by Flint, Michigan rock band Grand Funk Railroad. One need only to listen to "Bad Time (to be in Love)" by Grand Funk [http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=_EFwZq6yrJA&feature=related] to realize that indeed, "Locomotion" was by them, and not the Beach Boys. Thanks for showing your musical taste :)
