Speaking of AG , this song, from 1961, was used in the film .
The bogus BB version was released in 1965, so would have been too new for "Where were you in '62.." (More on this tomorrow)

In November 1965, the Beach Boys released the non-album single "The Little Girl I Once Knew" which repeatedly used a measure of silence in the arrangement and was reportedly disliked by radio programmers owing to their avoidance of having "dead air";[18] this has been cited as being partially responsible for the single stalling at US number 20. Still wanting to play new material by the band, radio disc jockeys around the United States began playing the last track of Party! straight off the LP, a cover of The Regents' "Barbara Ann." It received good listener response and was issued as a single by Capitol when they started hearing from radio programmers; it became a number 2 hit in early 1966.[6]

Even being a big BB fan in the mid-60's, I never did care for their version of Barbara - Ann, as it was originally named..It just sounded like a joke, and a white boys' version of a soul / doowop song. It turns out it was .The Party album was actually studio tracks and out- takes , with the banter and laughter added afterwards. Some of Brian Wilson's early experimentation and trickery..

Here's the song that was displaced...dead air and all>

This had GOT to be in my top 5 Albums I own. My favorite era of Supertramp.
