- Due to the enormous succes of the first FB single in South Africa (Tell 'Em I'm Surfin' made it to #2), the local TEAL Record Company wanted to release a follow-up single. Problem was though that the 'original' group, a studio group formed by P. F. Sloan and Steve Barri, was not planning on continuing. Thus resulting in TEAL South Africa signing one of their own local bands called 'The Falling Leaves to release new music under the 'Fantastic Baggys'-moniker. Probably with permission of the main US-office, but it's doubted of Sloan/Barri approved of this. The 'new'  Baggys released two additional albums, both containing several new Sloan/Barri songs (and Beach Boys covers). The first single - this one - was also a succes, climbing to #10 in the local charts.
