The Beach Boys were on the slide, turning into a nostalgia act and they couldn't get arrested by 1971. However, I could get lost inside this record (and the 'Surf's Up' album) for days.
'Disney Girls (1957)' barrels gently along, guided by the piano and bass. Bruce Johnston's vocal is pure yearning and love, setting off the languid backing perfectly.
Typically lush Beach Boys harmonies drift into the track, setting off the restrained drumming and the break into the second section at 2:07 is pure heaven. The drifting, almost free-forming harmonies from 3:35 to end are simply beautiful.
Genius.
