  • I'm listening to the stereo version from the 40th anniversary edition and it sounds like the banjo player jumped the gun a measure early after the second chorus. Do you know why Brian left this in?

  • @fantacist Because it sounds awesome?

  • This is great! Where did you find the old films that the music plays over near the end?

  • @ycdtotv2001 "Mondo Mod", a 1967 documentary that chronicles the youth culture in Hollywood and the greater Los Angeles area.

  • Perfectionism personified. I have to hand it to him; BW could have just sung every verse himself, but he had the patience to coach Al and Love to get the vocalization effect he needed.

  • What a great video. Your videos have gotten better and better over the years and I've been excitedly following them since they were first posted. That was actually shortly after I got into Pet Sounds in 2006 and subsequently most of the BB's catalogue. I've shown your videos in an American Popular Music class I took in university and the prof was very impressed. I really appreciate your attention to detail and the inclusion of some many of the different over dubs and "pieces" of the song.

  • @fantacist I've always assumed it was deliberate actually. Like a bit of foreshadowing or anticipation or something. I think it was sounds awesome too, it's one of my favourite parts on the album =}

  • FANTASTIC!!

  • The sounds that Brian got form this song is out of this world

  • Ray Pohlman call dial Faye after you're through

  • "I'll bring it up and I'll run off some monos for you next time we have a date" - Home Taping Is Killing Music! :)

  • I just checked out 'How to Speak Hip.' Brian was right it is hilarious!
