Trivia

The group's original lineup consisted of brothers Brian Wilson, Dennis Wilson, and Carl Wilson, their cousin Mike Love, and their friend Al Jardine.

After Brian Wilson decided to stop touring with the band to concentrate on his work as a songwriter, Glen Campbell filled in for him for about six months.

Two films were made surrounding the group's coming-to-be, Summer Dreams: The Story of the Beach Boys (1990) (TV) and The Beach Boys: An American Family (2000) (TV), which of the two films, is more wildly known and highly praised.

Their remake of The Regents' hit "Barbara Ann" was recorded live during a break in a recording session, and was never meant to be released; Brian Wilson later noted that "half the people in the room were singing while the other half were munching on potato chips." There are several points in the song where some of those singing can't remember the lyrics and just mumble something. Capitol Records released it as a single without the band's knowledge, which upset them greatly until they were told that it had reached #2 on the CashBox charts.
