What's Your Favourite Beach Boys Song?

The Beach Boys
Not so much for the intricacies of the songwriting or the whmisical yet contagious lyricisms - but more for the laid back, west coast feel that can transport you to another place and another time - far from the worries and stresses of modern day living.
Sadly - reality never really mirrored the magic - with only one of the original line-up ever able to actually surf - but none-the-less you don't have to physically climb Everest to achieve personal peaks in life.
From their iconic harmonies in songs such as Surfer Girl, Good Vibrations and Help Me Rhonda to my personal favourite California Girls right through to the classics such as Surfin USA and Little Deuce Coupe, the Beach Boys have left and indelible mark on music history.
In fact few groups have actually succeeded in having no.1's over four decades - with the last of these featuring in movie Cocktail with "Kokomo".
And so to fact that along with Mrs Nice Guy and the three Nice Guyettes - we've booked our seats for the February arrival of the band (be it that only two of the group are original members) at the Sydney Opera House as they perform with the Sydney Symphony in what promises to be a night of Fun Fun Fun . . .
Be it Barbara Ann, Heroes and Villians or even Hawaii - do you have a favourite Beach Boys song?
