Wasted Al Jardine vocals on a dumb song.

This was a great song from this era and highly underrated. I was just reading an interesting back story about the origin of this song. 24 years I've been listening to this song and never knew the true meaning behind it. From wiki: The bulk of the song was written by John Philips and concerns his daughter Mackenzie's honeymoon experiences. She and her new husband, both serious substance abusers, flew to Guam, and both the money and the drugs soon ran out. This was when her father received a late night phone call from Phillips begging him send money or drugs, preferably both: when he asked where she was, the reply was "somewhere near Japan". The original version of the song, titled "Fairy Tale Girl", allegedly ran to over 25 verses, and the story goes that when The Beach Boys started performing it in concert, Alan Jardine was unaware of the many drug references until someone told him about them, at which point he refused to sing it live (in later years, his stance apparently eased somewhat).

One of the Beach Boys' best efforts and sadly overlooked. Mike and Carl are terrific at capturing the desperation of the lyrics.
