Added DiffLines:

* DolledUpInstallment: This album is closer to a Mike Love solo album (produced by Adrian Baker, in a similar way to ''Music/CatchAWave''). While Bruce Johnston and David Marks are featured on the album's cover, they did not contribute much on it. Bruce can be heard on the introduction of the album and David did a few guitar overdubs.


Added DiffLines:

** The car featured on "Fun, Fun, Fun" is a Ford Thunderbird
** Other vehicles such as Chevrolet's "409", "Little GTO" or "Little Honda" are promoted through songs.

Produced by touring member Music/AdrianBaker, this album features covers of [[CarSong hot-rod songs]], including Beach Boys hit songs. Contrary to what the cover says, only Mike Love is present on the entire album (David Marks said he did a few guitar overdubs and Bruce Johnston is nowhere to be heard except on the intro track).
