What is the story on this tune? I know Carl sings it but has it ever appeared anywhere? Did it form the basis of any released tune?

Wasn't this from the sessions from
The Beach Boys
?
Where did you hear Brian hated it? And why?

There's a brief mention of it in the Wilson Project book about Brian's feelings about the song, and IIRC there was a contemporary interview with Landy discussing songs Brian had been working on, and Brian was said to not like it.
If anyone can elaborate, please do so.

The song starts in a style which makes you think immediately of "I Just Called to Say I Love You" then goes into a Carl Wilson LP-esque feel. I honestly do not know wha Brian would dislike it. Compared to anything done in the 1980's by the band, it is very good. IIRC Tom Kelly co-wrote it. I was hoping someone would know if it ever formed the basis of another track.
