Although I should be crediting Carl most of all because he produced it (with some Brian assistance) and ultimately it's the production that wins me over.

I always wondered about the Brian Wilson/Mike Love songwriting partnership. It always seemed to me as if Brian would write the music and melodies, while Love would write the lyrics. I suppose there are exceptions, but I think it's safe to assume that 9/10 it's Brian "writing the song".
I love that track too btw, I've been listening to this track fairly regularly since I discovered it three or four years back.
So if it so happens that it's Mike Love who actually wrote it, well then,
