The song features lyrics that are a celebration of music and its ubiquitous presence in daily life.[3] In April, the single peaked at number 64 in the US[4] during a five-week stay.[2] Disc jockeys generally refused to play the song on the radio, with one DJ reportedly stating that the Beach Boys "aren't hip anymore".[5][6][4] According to band promoter Fred Vail, WFIL program director Jay Cook refused to play the song even after "telling me how great the Beach Boys are and how great Brian is."[4]
