Composition
In 1995, Brian said: "That was written inside Brother Studios in Santa Monica. At the end, where Dennis goes (sings) "Find a ride", we put two of his voices on there, and it sounded fan-tas-tic! Fuckin' fantastic from Dennis."[2]
Live performances
The Beach Boys played the song regularly on tour following its release in 1976, however the song was not played again live till the early 2000s.
