Beach Boys for 60s?

I can hear 'em now: "60s yeah, but not the Beach Boys for cryin' out loud!." Oh well, too late.
Music Supervisor (who is screening all submissions herself) U-R-G-E-N-T-L-Y NEEDS AUTHENTIC sounding Mid-1960s sounding SONGS for FEATURE FILM Placements. The film needs "songs that sound AUTHENTICALLY from that era," reports the Supervisor. She adds, "Some examples I've been given are: Roger Miller's 'King of the Road,' Bobby Darrin's 'If I Were a Carpenter,' and anything by Elvis from that period." Doing some research, we found these nifty lists to give you some ideas:

Get your Wooly Bully on kids, but note that they're NOT LOOKING FOR COVERS! And we're not suggesting for a minute that you should rip any of those classics off. But, if you've got songs that sound like they could have AUTHENTICALLY come from that era, and would be believable in a scene where somebody is turning a car radio dial and flipping past songs, you probably have what they need! ALL TEMPOS will be considered, but ballads probably won't be best in our humble opinion - not enough time to register with listeners as the radio stations are being passed by.
This track christens the refinishing of my black strat in nitro, relic-ed fiesta red. Let's go surfin!
It's called "Summer Girl (Where You Walkin' To?)"
