Hey All.  I am new here, but longtime fan!

I went to the San Diego Zoo yesterday for an anthropology project on primates - coincidently also the album cover location for Pet Sounds back in 1966. So, i had to stop by!!!

The Beach Boys visited the Children's petting zoo back in February 1966.     I used THIS website as a reference and studying while i was at the location. I got pretty close to where the actual band stood back in 1966.  Check it out!

Lime is food? Yep.

Mandarin and Clementine went to meet the entire citrus gang, nobody ate people.

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
