I'm surprised to see any of The Honey's music on here. Even better is seeing this very rare picture sleeve. Thank you for posting.

This was awfully cute, can't believe it didn't rate more attention - did it at least get air play on AM Radio in those days? What other songs did they do? Did they have any records out that charted?

@JohnnyGNV They didn't have any records that charted on any national Billboard chart.

A magnificent one of those lovable, & boundary-breaking 'quirky' adaptations by BW .. that he was probably more well-known for (as mainly unreleased-pure-gems) later in the 60s. He was a man who was not afraid to 'break barriers' & to 'flout existing norms' (like every other musical genius in histroy). This is a fabulous song by Brian, customised for his wife Marilyn's little group & their own style. Yes - the BBs did do the background support-harmonies / vocals.
V. rare BW song, V.G. post !!

Thanks for your very informative information!

I just asked on another video you posted for this group if they were the Honeys consisting of Marilyn Wilson and two others. Now I know that they are, because I had heard OF this song but hadn't heard it before just now, and I know it's the Honeys I was asking about. I'd always been curious about this song, so thanks for posting it.

You're welcome! I read on one website about the Honeys that the Beach Boys are backing them up on this record. I haven't confirmed this though, does anyone know?
