    Notes:
      One of Brian's great lost gems; a truly underrated and underappreciated song.

      Quite simply, the best track on C&TP-ST;truly evokes the classic Beach Boys harmony sound without the wretched nostalgia that would plaugue their 80's output.

      The verses originally came from the pre-verse of an earlier Brian song called "I Just Got My Pay".

      Great bass vocals from Mike on the tag.
