Frank Zappa famously praised The Beach Boys' song "Little Deuce Coupe" for its specific V-II chord progression. He lauded it in his autobiography as an exciting moment in "white-person music" and "an important step forward by going backward". Zappa later quoted it in his track "Brown Shoes Don't Make It".

In his 1989 autobiography, The Real Frank Zappa Book, Zappa singled out the song because of Brian Wilson's clever harmonic choices. Zappa appreciated the inversion of standard chord theory, which injected complex, jazz-style substitutions into mainstream pop and rock.

Zappa didn't just talk about it; he actively incorporated elements of the track into his own work. For example, in the song "Brown Shoes Don't Make It" (featured on The Mothers of Invention's 1967 album Absolutely Free), Zappa referenced and parodied the "Little Deuce Coupe" melody, using it in a satirical context.
