Saw Brian 2 years ago and his backing band actually got this sound right. Sorry, but Brian was standing there clicking his fingers and miming, although this actually didn't  matter to me, just closed my eyes and all was good.

Musically, a much better version, imo.

The lyrics take a little getting used to, but over time I prefer it.

It has been repeatedly rejected for the library.

Sunkist ALMOST ruined this song. I still think of the commercial whenever I hear it, but it's also got a life of it's own in my head. Whew.

Not true. It was released on the Smiley Smile album along with Heroes and Villains.

You know, this is a fantastic blend of sound and harmonies....pure genius by Brian {#Jump}, but why is Mike Love such an a**hole? {#Rolleyes}

Yeah, Pet Sounds is THE album of the 20th century, all the other albums have inferior potassium.

In a hundred years, I hope students in music theory class are listening to this as an example of what was right with music in the middle of the 20th century.

And I hope they are as blown away as I was one day in theory class, having Scott Joplin explained to me. And as blown away as I was the first time I heard this song.

Two days before Christmas. The sky is blue, the air is crystal-clear and cold, there's not a trace of snow on the ground, and for some reason, this song STILL makes it feel like Christmas here!  I love the Beach Boys.{#Daisy}

Love this song, but hey RP, it was *not* released on the album Pet Sounds.  This is from "Smiley Smile" — the first LP I ever purchased.
