Thanks. I'm always surprised at how liked this cover is compared to some of my other stuff, since back when I did it I was a total newbie at music production.

I am fortunate to have a strong harmonic sense and this song's structure is relatively simple, so I was able to produce it mostly from memory, vocals included...though I did make a mistake with the 'words' in the chorus since I jumped into recording the parts without checking properly..nobody seems to mind though.

textDisplay: We're a family of musicians and lovers of music of all kinds. Often these covers are amateurish and I wonder why people think others would like to hear them. You really did a good job. My son just finished writing and recording his second album, all original material, albeit at home. He'll be a graduating senior at Queens College in NYC. Aaron Copland School. I should send him a link. Did you pick those harmonies off by ear?

textDisplay: love it!, this version has something over the original recording & I dig the sound even more.  This band was definetly the only answer we had to The Beatlemania.  I'm not sure how many singles the Beachboys threw on the music charts back in the sixties but I do know they were  throwing 'em on left and right, The Doors and Monkees didn't stack up, besides by the time the Doors were chartbound the Beatles had been in full control...and the Beatchboys were there all along, like it or not!

textDisplay: One question: How did you manage to get the "synthesized" drum sound?

textDisplay: I'm from new zealand, and I did sing all the parts. Thanks!


textDisplay: This is awesome. And thank you for putting cover in the title.  I hate when people don't do that and you are looking for originals and you get covers, or if like me I was looking for a cover, I found it.


textDisplay: A+ Excellant cover

textDisplay: Great job pal, Bravo.  On all fronts well done.Are the vocal harmonies yours too even if not you did a good job putting them together.?  Good voice.Where are you from. I've been a Beach Boys fan since they were beach boys. :)


textDisplay: Thanks for not making a sucky cover, do it straight and respect the music without going karaoke. Good job..

textDisplay: Wow.....Nice bloody job!.....I just posted a comment to a vid of Mike Love And Bruce Johnson performing this tune at some music fest......Said I thought they sounded like a "Decent Tribute Band"......Pretty sad really. THIS,however, breathes new life into one of my favourite songs EVER!....Keep up the Great Work! Cheers, Rat!
