Another interesting thing to note about this song is the fact that allegedly Brian hated writing in straight 4/4. ONE two THREE four ONE two THREE four - as this was the pattern for a lot of the songs in the charts at the time. This piece is actually written in compound 12/8. What this means is, four sets of quaver triplets in 4/4 equals four sets of three notes of the same length in 12/8.
