On a related note:
The production to do you wanna dance has always bothered me.
The beginning especially sounds so flat. What exactly is going on with that track?

"Do You Wanna Dance" has my vote!

Someone tell me what's so special about that song? I don't think it has near the charm of "When I Grow Up" or "I'm So Young"...

I don't know about that, but something that does annoy me... On the out-takes, you hear that Brian does this amazing falsetto part on the chorus, it's utterly tremendous - but on the released version you can barely hear it, not unless you really, really make an effort to listen out for it. It's totally buried in the mix, and it shouldn't have been.

Don't know but agree the sonics aren't great. It sounds like it was recorded via a tin bucket.

Stereo remix not much better so will assume a prob during the actual recording. IMO.

Get an expert rundown here @ the 2nd best resource page on the web - http://www.beachboysarchives.com/page3 - dense track with lots of bounces.

Bitchin' track, tho - should see it's way safely through a many more rounds

It fills me with exultation, it makes me run on to the dancefloor and sing along. It starts well, gets better with the guitar solo, and finishes with a THUNDERING CLIMAX! The drums are astonishing, as are the backing vocals. Dennis's rough lead voacls make a nice change from Brian and Mike. It's one of my very favourites.

I'm going to vote for "Don't hurt my little sister".

Two tracks in, a novelty track and an inferior version, and this is already ridiculously hard. Sad

I begrudgingly vote for "Don't Hurt My Little Sister" Cry

Also, love "Do You Wanna Dance?" Great song, fantastic arrangement and take on the song, Brian at his most wall of sound-ish, and one of Dennis' best leads, possibly the best he did in the 60s.

This has just gotten much more difficult.  I will go with "In the Back of My Mind," which is a great BW production, but the songwriting pales in comparison to the other ballads on side 2.  The lead vocal from Dennis is also probably the weakest lead vocal on the album.

Do You Wanna Dance is a nice, rockin' number, one of my favourites from the pre-Pet Sounds era!
And In the Back of My Mind is a beautiful song, and I actually love Dennis's vocal on that!
