[edit] From article page
I moved this to the talk page:
(Could someone quote Brian's comments about this song from the anniversary edition of "Pet Sounds"? I don't have it available, but it would provide good background information to this article.)

[edit] SoundTracks
"God Only Knows" is the final song in the film Love Actually.
It was also used in episode 6 of Skins.
[edit] Citation Needed
"As a consequence, many radio stations at the time refused to play it."
I'd like a citation for that. It seems very unlikely in 1960s Cold War America, though not impossible.
[edit] Removed lyrics
I have removed the lyrics that were posted on this page in full as all the songs lyrics on 'Pet Sounds' are copyrighted in 1966 under Irving Music. And unless their is permission given to use the lyrics then it is breaching the copyright of the songs lyrics. --Sahafan 09:02, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Firstly" on Love Actually?
This is a SUPER nitpick, but shouldn't it read that the song was "firstly" on the Boogie Nights soundtrack and then on Love Actually? To me, it seems only fair to Mr. Anderson that he gets credit for sticking it on his movie first (especially considering that Love Actually is quite possibly influenced by the multi-narrative structure partially popularized by Anderson's movies)
- so anderson is a genius for being the first person to use god only knows in a movie? even if that point is arguable, i don't quite think you can make the leap from that to saying anderson's movies influenced love actually and therefore somehow connect the use of god only knows, as if love actually's use of the song is somehow aping anderson's. i wouldn't say the word "firstly" is in and of itself NPOV, but your explanation certainly is wayyy NPOV.
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Beach Boys - Wouldn't It Be Nice.jpg
Image:Beach Boys - Wouldn't It Be Nice.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 02:26, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Brian Wilson - cover??
It strikes me as odd that in the list of covers, Brian Wilson is mentioned twice, when in fact he co-wrote the song. Slightly demeaning to him! Just a thought. Beanrobot (talk) 17:12, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
