I didn't say they did a bad job. I said Hanson did a good job. I was happy that they'd take a Brian Wilson song from the '60s and perform a good rendition of it.

The original was recorded in Oct. 1963, so the ages of the Beach Boys would have been:

22 Mike Love

21 Brian Wilson

21 Al Jardine

19 Dennis Wilson

17 Carl Wilson

Also, Brian Wilson was on a roll at this point in arrangement and production which is the only reason I said it was better. I agree Hanson could do a great job now.

Oh, I'm not saying you said they did badly... but I think it's pretty great considering Zac was 12 and Taylor was 14. Having 12/14 year olds (ESPECIALLY a 12 year old) struggling to make notes in a song would definitely bring anyone down.

This is one of the poorer songs on the album, I have to say. The ones they wrote themselves seem much better suited for them than this song.

But to stick to the other fact... the beach boys had their own sound that cant be tampered with. Nothing can compare

The Beach Boy version is superior in production, harmony, and overall sound. Hanson did a good job with it and I'm glad that the genius Brian Wilson wrote is being covered 30 and 40 years later.

If what I looked up is correct the youngest beach boy was 23 when they performed this.

Hanson's oldest was 17 (the lead- Isaac) at the time they sang this- The other two being 14 (Taylor) and 12 (Zac)

With that said I think Hanson did a GREAT job.

It's unfair to compare 12-17 to 23+ year olds- voice maturity can skew the overall sound of course.

This was 1997. They could probably do this song much better justice now that they are past puberty since their harmonies got much stronger with age.

I played this CD so much when I got it. My parents were sick of it. Still love to play it. What can I say?

@xxshawnee3xx Zac, the youngest, was about 11 when they released this album.

@kellypeachesoffical What do you mean 11 to? Who else was 11?
