The first song released as a Brian Wilson solo single is largely the result of a misheard lyric. Wilson told Asher about a girl he'd liked in high school named Carol, and Asher responded with the lyric "Oh, Carol, I know." But Wilson heard it as "Caroline, no" and dashed off this song while stoned.

Appears on: Pet Sounds (Capitol)
