    Drive In

    Written by: Brian Wilson
    Produced by: Brian Wilson
    Recording date: April 1964
    Take Number:
    Master Number: 52130
    Time: 1:50
    Lead Vocal by: Mike
    Originally appeared on: All Summer Long
    Subsequently appeared on: Spirit of America

    Notes:
      Seemingly innocuous and lightweight, but it features a chord progression of F to D7 (as opposed to the stock F to Dm) and has two bars of silence during the break that was almost unheard of for a song of that period.

      Mike shows off his Smoky the Bear impersonation.

    Noises:
      0:21-0:25 The double tracking of Mike's voice is much farther off than it is in the rest of the song
      1:09 Someone is talking during the silence, sounds like a woman or a child

    Little Saint Nick (to the tune of Drive-In)
