Ok, you know I'm obsessed with a band when even the most obscure tracks consume my consciousness for days, and this is one I've just discovered.
Basically, Brian Wilson's voice in this is the darkest I've ever heard. I would compare him most obviously here to The Animals lead man, Eric Burdon. Yes, House of the Rising Sun, Eric Burdon, perhaps the darkest and most disturbing voice ever heard by the mass in American or English Rock.
I'm not sure who's emulating who here, Brian-Eric or vice versa, but I definitely know this track proves that super-star Brian Wilson was Iggy Pop before Iggy Pop was Iggy Pop.
