Recording[edit]
Regarding the song's 'fuzzy' sound, Carl Wilson recalls:
[Brian] does exactly what he wants to do. I remember [sits back and laughs] — this is so funny — when we did 'Little Honda,' Brian wanted me to get this real distorted guitar sound, real fuzzy. 'This guitar sounds like shit,' I said. 'Brian, I hate this.' And he goes, 'Would you fucking do it? Just do it.' When I heard it, I felt like an asshole. It sounded really hot. That was before fuzz became a big deal.[5]
