I think it is from 1989, and I am guessing it was Landy's idea for Brian to be a part of it, and yes it certainly does suck.

Doesn't ring any bells with me either... what's the tale? (before you answer that I'll do a search...)
Ah, having found it on YouTube, I remember the thing. Might even have a copy somewhere. Never mind...

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

Yeah for all the good intentions, someone forgot to write a halfway listenable tune. Even Sting's toes would curl at this garbage.

Gee, Makes me glad I got it and put it on the shelf, unheard, with most of the other similar pieces of my collection.
OH, to have good hearing that I could be as discerning a listener as the likes of all of you.

I like this song! It's uplifting! There's too many sound effects, but other than that, it rocks! Never comin' home from the tree of life!

Me either. When the chorus kicked in, it started to sound like a cheesy 80's parody of the GhostBusters theme song.

This just about sums up a lot of the crap that was in pop music in the 80s and early 90s.
