Fun facts: In 1964 when the song was released, Honda had become the world's largest manufacturer of motorcycles, and "thongs" were what are now called "flip flops" and not ass-revealing swimwear. I'm guessing that the inclusion of these items in the lyric were Mike Love's main contribution. Great song.
