When I was in high school listening to the radio, I believed the chorus of this song went "Give me the Beach Boys and free my soul/I want to get lost in your rock & roll..." etc. This summer I was told that the lyrics are actually "Give me the beat boys and free my soul... " etc. But what's the difference really? It's like the difference between purple and lavender... (then again, I'm no painter...)
