Brian Wilson had nothing to do with this song. It was written by John Phillips (Mamas & Papas) and Scott McKenzie. It took Mike and company 20 years to get a #1 song, and they kept on trying to milk the formula until Phillips died, and McKenzie went away. Then Carl died, they kicked Al out, and they are now playing county fairs, while Brian plays to packed houses everywhere.
