One last trip around the bases for the Beach Boys, as their first new hit in 20+ years, and their last Top 40 hit. Dropped as a single in 1988, and also part of the soundtrack for the Tom Cruise flick du jour, Cocktail, and despite critical disdain, the Beach Boys rode it all the way to platinum certification, and #1 on the charts that year.

It was the song America was ready for then . . . and very well done.
OT, how about replaying your lovely short story about dealing with rioters? Please?
I rather liked the Norwegian KFOR contingent's circa 2002 or 03 rendition of this one, appropriately named "Kosovo." Heard the troopies that performed it got in all sort of hot water for their music video. It was worth the trouble, the performance is over the top.
