Information
The song features sexual noises in the background on the fade-out, a woman in the throes of passion, screaming and calling out "oh boy". Dennis Wilson can also be heard in the fade-out.[1][2]
A live version of the song was recorded in 1968 for Live in London but not included on the 1970 album. The version was, however, released on Rarities in 1983.
Multiple alternate versions, including two alternate takes with Dennis Wilson on lead vocals, were released in 2018 on I Can Hear Music: The 20/20 Sessions.
