This is my favorite song ever. It might sound like a simple surf tune on the surface, but when you consider everything going on musically in terms of chord structure, instrument arrangement, and backing and lead vocals (I bet most of you didn't know that the vocal lead is actually "doubled" - two people singing simultaneously - by the song's two principal writers. This happens in the verses, but not the choruses), it's really pretty complex.
If you are impressed by the complexity of the arrangement, thank Brian Wilson, not Jan and Dean. Brian Wilson co-wrote this song, and others for Jan and Dean, and he provided the arrangement, harmony, and general music sophistication. I like this song, and I like Jan and Dean in general, but they benefited a lot from Brian Wilson's help.
