Great job on this classic tune; Carl Wilson was walkin' the dog and David Marks was not half-steppin' on this 'un. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for posting this! Lost the last one. Don't understand what the copyright cops gain since almost every song I lose is posted from another channel. I'v made over 800 playlists as my tribute to a century of pop music, including lists for every year since 1900. Glad to have this up & playing again for 1963! Thanks again - my channel only works because of people like you! chuck

Check-out the 4-cylinder blown Ford motor in the digger...

I hear 3 guitars and no bass...Brian, Carl, and David?...was Dennis allowed to play....don't like the fade out ending which seems to prevail on 99% of their songs

Very good to hear the Beach Boys play this. We don't often talk about how good the guitar players is in the band, but for sure they are great. Thanx for put out this on YouTube!

I enjoyed performing this tune with Tommy K and The Tube Sharks, circa 2000. This Beach Boys version was one of our references. Very cool version.
