[edit] From article page

I moved this to the talk page:

(Could someone quote Brian's comments about this song from the anniversary edition of "Pet Sounds"? I don't have it available, but it would provide good background information to this article.)

[edit] Citation Needed

"As a consequence, many radio stations at the time refused to play it."

I'd like a citation for that. It seems very unlikely in 1960s Cold War America, though not impossible.

[edit] Removed lyrics

I have removed the lyrics that were posted on this page in full as all the songs lyrics on 'Pet Sounds' are copyrighted in 1966 under Irving Music. And unless their is permission given to use the lyrics then it is breaching the copyright of the songs lyrics. --Sahafan 09:02, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA Failing

[edit] "Firstly" on Love Actually?

This is a SUPER nitpick, but shouldn't it read that the song was "firstly" on the Boogie Nights soundtrack and then on Love Actually? To me, it seems only fair to Mr. Anderson that he gets credit for sticking it on his movie first (especially considering that Love Actually is quite possibly influenced by the multi-narrative structure partially popularized by Anderson's movies)
