What are you listening to in 2022

When I lived in the City a fellow that lived up our street was a DJ. We would have block parties every year. First, he would play songs with a girl's name in the title, then he would play a song that he knew was your favorite. He played Barbara Ann, and then this one for me as my favorite.

 
The version of Barbara Ann by the Beach Boys is one of my surf music favorites. Far as I know it was the only record where Dean Torrance (of Jan and Dean) did backups for the Beach Boys, just for fun. His voice in the recording stands out. The best of two surf supergroups...
It's funny when I was in grade school there were 6 girls named Barbara,so when the Nun would call Barbara all six of us would stand up. One day he Nun said I didn't have to stand up because my first name is Barbara Ann.
