The 1966 folk rock adaptation by the Beach Boys was produced and arranged by bandleader Brian Wilson and served as the lead single off their 11th studio album, "Pet Sounds". The song peaked at number three in the US on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart, number two in the UK, and number one in several other countries. It remains one of the group's most successful recordings of their mid-1960s period, containing an elaborate a cappella vocal section not found in other pop music of the era.
