In November 1969, the Wilson's father Murry Wilson, sold the copyrights to the band's songs to Irving Almo for approximately $700,000.[1] Many years later in April 1992, just after Brian Wilson had won a lawsuit which recovered many of the copyrights to his songs, Mike Love filed a lawsuit against Brian Wilson claiming that he had not been given credit, and therefore hadn't received royalties, on over thirty of the band's songs, many of them hit singles.[2] One of these songs was "I Get Around". The original credit only credited Wilson, but Love insisted that he had a hand in writing the lyrics. In an interview with Goldmine, published September 18, 1992, Love insisted that he and not Wilson "came up with 'round round get around'". Mike Love won the lawsuit and the song-writing credit was amended, therefore ensuring future royalties on all of the songs that he had claimed he had a hand in writing.

One of the best, most iconic songs ever created.

The harmonies by The Beach Boys are probably my favorite and the best ever. Back when singing actually took talent and skill. Now you have auto tune and all these things for shaping your sound. Don’t get me wrong I love it as a guitar player. There’s just something from these groups, musicians or singers that just hits different. Music is honestly my favorite thing about humanity ❤️

Very true, todays music is all computer generated and anyone can make their voice sounds good with technology
