Bought that LP when it came out, loved introducing customers to it in my "record shop assistant" days. Lovely Sunday record for me, along with follow-up "You Gotta Sin To Get Saved".

A-side, done in a late-70's yacht rock style. B-side, sounds like it's been arranged by Mike Love for a particularly bad late-period Beach Boys album.
On that level, amusing for about five minutes (I'm assuming tongues were firmly in cheek?)
