I always felt this version of the song was a bit too saccharine for my taste. In my opinion, the original manages to strike a tone that’s both sentimental and melancholic. Also, Sunflower is my favorite Beach Boys album so I’m a bit biased.

I unironically love this song.
Also, for several years running in the mid-2000s my fantasy football team was called Jesse and the Rippers.

Wow. I had it muted and yet instantly remembered all the words. I haven’t thought about this song in 20 years probably.

He’s still hot
“He really did a disservice to Charles Manson’s buddy” is a statement one rarely has the opportunity to make.
Oh lord, one cannot discuss this song without watching this video first.
