I can relate to this song so much and it's so beautiful Smiley..The ending always gives me goosebumps it seemed like they put everything they had into that song unlike some of their early songs.
I never really heard any of you bring this song up :/ anyone else love it?

I love it and I think Today! would be a perfect album if Don't Hurt My Little Sister was about something else.

Of course, there are the alternate lyrics to this song, which are much more poetic!  The original lyrics were aimed "to "correct the inequality in employment opportunities between whites and minorities including blacks in the U.S."

What's wrong with Don't Hurt My Little Sister? I think it's a really cool song. I don't think it was meant to be taken too seriously- it always makes me smile. Come on! Who's with me?

Just the subject of the lyrics.  The backing track and the melody and harmonies are wonderful, but the words just don't do it for me.

I agree, I was just wondering if you had heard it. It is pure doo wop from the late '50s. I do prefer the overall sound of the one that ended up on Today!, especially the drums and guitar.

That's a good one to point at if you're trying to prove the theory that Brian Wilson sounds like Jesus Christ when he sings, lol.  That explains why i'm always going "GOOD LORD" everytime I hear him hit those high notes.

"I'm So Young" is a great example of a BB's studio classic that features the group playing on the session. Brian - organ, Dennis - drums, Carl - guitars, Al - bass.

I don't find them generally appealing because I can't relate to them whatsoever. That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with them, however.

The song has grown on me the last few years, but it's my least favorite song on Today.

God must’ve smiled the day Brian Wilson was born!

"ragegasm" - /rāj • ga-zəm/ : a logical mental response produced when your favorite band becomes remotely associated with the bro-country genre.

I don't think anything's wrong with them, I don't relate to the song though... it's a little bieberish to me, it's more about really young kids dating... so once I got past about 15 I couldn't really get into the song anymore.

There is a place for everything, though, so I don't blame them for writing it or think anything's wrong with it, it's just a younger subject than I can relate to anymore.

Me. Big brothers should  be protective.

What would you all prefer?

A song about incest?

I've never felt the need to be protective of my sister and I love Don't Hurt My Little Sister. Brian doesn't even have a sister! It's a really good song, stop paying attention to the words. I can't relate to ANYTHING on Smile (maybe Good Vibrations and Wonderful) but that doesn't mean I don't love it.

I love Don't Hurt My Little Sister! How can you not like this lyric, "she digs you and thinks that you're a real groovy guy, but yet I'm not sure that I feel the same?" That's a cool line to me. Maybe if I had a sister I would feel differently about the song?

I also prefer the flute version of "I'm So Young." Just adds a good punch to it. I wonder why they didn't use it?
