If It Isn't Scottish, It's Crap: Special "PowerPop's Traditional Beach Boys New Year's Eve" Edition

From November 1964, please enjoy the incomparable Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson, Al Jardine and the humongous dickitude that is Mike Love and an alternte take of their incomparable a cappella rendition (the original's on their Christmas album) of that Scottish New Year's Eve song whose title escapes me.

How they were able to do that without auto-tuning is beyond me. 😎

Coming tomorrow: We revisit a PowerPop New Years Day classic. Okay, perhaps "classic" is too strong a word. 😎😎

Coming Friday: A sure to be entertaining new Weekend Listomania. Okay, perhaps "sure to be" is... 😎😎😎

Pretty impressive imitation of a warped vinyl record there.
