I always skipped over Pitter Patter. Every time. It's a good example of what Dennis Wilson was alluding to:
"That album (MIU) is an embarrassment to my life. It should self-destruct."
Now, what was this thread about again?
I would say Dennis was more on the money with Kona Coast, Wontcha Come Out Tonight, Belles of Paris and Winds Of Change. Now those are embarrassments. Pitter Patter might have childish lyrics, but the melody is great and the production is clear and nicely done.
