[1976]
By this stage, the Brian's Back era, The Beach Boys were post-modern whether they knew it or not. Everything about this is fan-fucking-tastic: The melody, the words, the sentiments, the impeccable Brian production, the expansive harmonies, the hand claps, Brian on the fucking Moog!
You don't hear this ever on golden oldies radio here but it's an undeniable feel good hit of the summer.
The fuckin' best!
In the sum-sum-summertime
It's OK
It's OK
it's alright
Dennis on the outro... two Dennis' in fact!
Dennis

*Roy Wood guests on drums
**The sound and vibe here are a precursor to Brian's great 00s solo LP That Lucky Old Sun.
***Also surely this is the inspiration for several sunny tunes on Ariel Pink's Before Today.
