Actually, while Mike Love did raise the issue of the drug references inherent in the song's lyrics, it was Brian's decision to change the name. It's not like it was this great source of tension (although of course their relationship was tense), Brian just decided he didn't want to even raise the issue if it was going to be controversial within the band. Long story short: stop complaining about changes in the lyrics to a song from 50 years ago that make it 'slightly' less-obviously about acid.

Love isn't Satan. He's just a hack entertainer who didn't have the foresight in the mid-Sixties to realise that pop music was going to become a serious art form. Picture the scene: it's 1966, you're Mike Love, you're still in your superstar teen idol heyday and you've just come home from a world tour, singing medleys of your much-loved surfing 'n' hot rod hits for thousands of screaming chicks. And then, on the sidelines, there's your cousin Brian. Brian the leader. Brian the genius. And he's sitting at a piano in his indoor sand pit, munching his way through sheets of acid like it's rice paper and composing paeans to his favourite vegetables. Wouldn't you panic? [2] THIS. awesome. :D

I can't believe one of my favorite lines ever written, IKTAA's chorus, came as the result of Mike Love censoring a drug reference in a song. Huh.

I love when I realize a song I've loved forever was actually a cover by another band that I love. LOVE!
