And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

Again, a dumpster fire of autotune is hilarious after Mike's "interview" to David Beard talking about "autotune" the right time. LOL

The tune is ok; it has some cool chord/melody changes in places. Hard to not chuckle when I hear traces of autotune (which I absolutely hear) since Mike has belittled Brian for the same.

Are parts of this recording vintage from the 70s? Or is entirely a re-record?

Brilliant!  Way better than anything on that hack brYhan's awful No Pier Pressure.  This shows Mike was the true songwriting genius of the group.

It's better than his last one - I'll give him that. I don't mind it, but why enunciate every word of every line like he's a tourist speaking to a bunch of bemused locals who've never heard English in their lives? Perhaps we need a video of live Brian hand gestures to accompany it...

Sounds like a new recording to me.

It's definitely a new recording and I think it's way better than the original, which I thought had a very un-Beach Boys generic AM '70s feel to it, not in a good way.

Yeah, the -- are we allowed to say Autotune?  I forget -- the vocal processing is pretty apparent.  But I think overall it's a nice production, appropriately lush but with a touch of roughness around the edges and spatial depth to it.  The "Overnight Sensation" transistor radio effect at the tag is a nice touch.

"Why the sadness/When there should be gladness" - sez Mr. Positivity. What poetry!

Seriously, though, it's a bit too heavy on the vocal processing. Other than that, very pleasant! Smiley
