Not only did Paul later say he remembered this occasion, but he tells a completely different version of it, also making a piece of attire the focus of the conversation, except this time it's not his shoes, it's Brian's glasses.
JesseHOST
And also a record is played, but in Paul's version, it's Brian playing him Good Vibrations.

Maybe not the lead singer, because sometimes he's singing, like, bass, too.

People were feeding Brian Wilson acid, and he didn't even know it.
John BakerUNKNOWN
Well, good vibrations, for one thing.
John BakerUNKNOWN
A real critical listen to that song, it's a miracle.
John BakerUNKNOWN
He recorded that in four or five different studios, in four or five different sections, and then just knitted them all together.

The iconic song from the Beach Boys released six decades ago, Good Vibrations.
Mary GearinHOST
Regarded as a landmark in recording, it broke all the rules, all the norms at the time, called a pocket symphony.
Pat WalshHOST
That is almost eclipsed by this one.
Pat WalshHOST
This has one good song, and that's Good Vibrations, you know, one of the most popular Beach Boys songs of all time.
Pat WalshHOST
But did you know that Good Vibrations really, people think that, well, it was on Pet Sounds.
Pat WalshHOST
It was not on Pet Sounds, no.
Pat WalshHOST
Good Vibrations was a standalone song.
Pat WalshHOST
Brian Wilson began recording Good Vibrations during, during Pet Sounds, during the sessions in early 1966, but it took months of extra studio work to finish, which made it, at the time, the most expensive song ever to produce.
Pat WalshHOST
Then it was released as a separate standalone single in October of '66, rather than a track on the album.
Pat WalshHOST
So it was not on Pet Sounds, but it was on a lot of comp- compilation records.
