Eh....a Beach Boys cover deliberately minus the punch of the original melody OR harmonies. That would be like playing something by Miles Davis without any exploration of musical modes.
Interesting concept, but good music is more than just a concept.
This is a good cover, good for the girls. Kind of a punk version but with good atmosphere. This will also help introduce the original to new generations.
Cool song - I never knew this was a Beach Boys song! It's actually off the Summer Day's (and Summer Nights!!) album. Love the Smithereens cover of this. These Vivian Girls Rock!

too bad, I love the original, lazy cover. Fuzzy's cover is much better.

Beat Happening should get back together so Vivian Girls can open for them. What a great pair they'd make!

The vocals are buried a bit and there seem to be tempo issues ... but a great song and a worthwhile effort.

I could almost like this but why don't they change the key? I mean it's obviously uncomfortably low, if it was a little better it would be good.

The Smithereens take is cool. You should check out the version by "Fuzzy" -- female vocals and a great post-grunge rock feel

The Smithereens have several Brian worship points in their long career
