[edit] Trivia
- The song later inspired a shortly lived indie-rock group of the same name which consisted of Thomas Bangalter, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, and Laurent Brancowitz. One of their songs was reviewed by Melody Maker as "a bunch of daft punk." Bangalter and Guy-Manuel would later continue making music under the name, Daft Punk.
- The song was later sampled for the song "Thinkin' bout you baby" on the 1972 album Spring by the pop band American Spring. American Spring had Brian Wilson's wife Marilyn as a singer.
