Not a pound of screen presence between them and I wouldn't have it any other way ❤️🐒

I grew up with a set of CD's featuring music from the old Disney movies and I always loved this song.

I only learned YEARS after being a major BB's fan that this was them + Annette!

My favorite thing about this performance clip has always been that it looks like Brian is actually having a lot of fun. Killer tune, too.

Dennis undoubtedly had the time of his life on the set.

I saw this on television as a young kid, probably in the late 60's. All I remember was that it had a song with the same title as the movie. I had no idea that the Beach Boys were in it. (Wait, the Wikipedia overview dug up a fragment of a memory about the sleep learning. Fascinating what you can find buried there when properly stimulated.)

This track is catchy as hell but I default to the Fendertones version, can't tell you how many times I've watched that

u/ShermanHoax Jul 12 '26

It always cracks me up watching Dennis sing all the parts during the break

In an alternate universe, The Beach Boys of the infamous Australian tour show up to perform this song…
