This is probably one of my favorite Jan & Dean records. "When It's Over" is my all time favorite Jan & Dean song. It has a marvelous arrangement and heartfelt vocals. The title track is also a brilliant pop song, with crazy lyrics. "Anaheim" is one of Jan's most ambitious songs, and it really blew my mind when I heard it. The verse reminds me a little bit of "I Get Around". "Summer Means Fun" is great too. I love "Girls are two to one" part. "Move Out Little Mustang" is bizarre because it is quintessential Jan Berry/Brian Wilson, but it's sung by The Fantastic Baggies. For some reason I also love "Old Ladies Seldom Power Shift"! I guess I'm a sucker for the surf guitar
