A song off the brilliant "Beach Boys Today!" album from 1964 that really demonstrates Brian Wilson's genius, particular the chorus when he goes into the blistering falsetto and the amazing and unusual chord changes. A song with a very simple and silly concept is turned into a brilliant song. Another thing to note about this song is that Brian originally wrote this song for the Ronettes and, after submitting it to Phil Spector, Spector invited Brian back to his hotel room. Except when Brian got there, Spector played him the song on the piano, but with completely different words, called "Things Are Changing (For The Better)." So Brian eventually went to Gold Star Studios to play piano on the session and Spector kicked him out of the session because Brian couldn't play the song - his own - right. Eventually Spector did use it, but with a group called the Blossoms for a public service announcement on equal opportunity employment.
