They never reached that level of energy on other tracks as far as I'm aware.
I don't know if it's quite the same level of energy, but I've always been more partial to I'm Down for the same reasoning.



Might be that since it's not a cover I can appreciate it more, though! Kind of sound similar though.

Based on what I've heard of the Beach Boys, I will say that they do have some damn good harmonies and I can't think of many showcases of Beatles harmonies that quite matched the ones on Pet Sounds. I mean, what are the best examples of Beatles harmonies? I keep thinking Yes It Is because I like that song, but is it something like Because?
