Nice One, Brian.

This is from my "era", a bit later than my teens, it takes me back to being a young wife and mum. I think it's a lovely song and I love the Beach Boys' voices. Brian Wilson was a fantastic song-writer and this is one of his best.

Don't they look uncomfortable and embarrassed just standing there and singing (I suspect miming)?

saw em live in 69 west ender at crystal palace, would be surprised if they were miming, cos ya couldn't tell the difference they were that good.

Oh you lucky thing, Cashy, I'd have loved to have seen them. In 1969 I was living in Whitby, N. Yorks, with a husband working shifts at Fylingdales Early Warning Centre, a 5 year old daughter and a 4 year old son. Thankfully I had a record player and a tape machine.

I'm still playing Beach Boys tracks - now on CD - and, usually, when I'm doing the ironing.

You should see how quickly I get through it to "Barbara Anne".

Can't see any talent in that...must have been an off day?
