It's no coincidence. The Beach Boys were big admirers of Chuck Berry, and "Surfin' USA" was a cover of "Sweet Little 16" with different lyrics. Check out the opening to some Beach Boys songs like "Fun, Fun, Fun". It's the classic Chuck Berry riff that opens many of Berry's songs, such as "Roll Over Beethoven" and "Johnny B Good."
