This song doesn't hold up well nowadays because no one's going to relate to it at all and they probably don't want to hear a rock-n-roll song about travelling salesmen/vagabond/etc. But, yeah it is actually really good and a catchy tune, good enough that most will listen to it a couple of times.
I agree that "Lana" and "Noble Surfer" on the album are not very good, but the instrumentals (all 5 of em) are listenable, especially "Misirlou" which is possibly the Beach Boys' best instrumental song ever.
