"In My Room" is a song written by Brian Wilson and Gary Usher for the American rock band the Beach Boys.
"In My Room" was ranked number 212 on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
In fact, Murry [the Wilson brothers' father] came in a couple of times and wanted me to leave.
[5]The 1993 CD box set, Good Vibrations: Thirty Years of The Beach Boys, contains an early version of "In My Room" with a number of differences from the eventual official release.
[6] The tune features six Beach Boys: both Al Jardine (on vocals) and David Marks (whose guitar strumming backs up Carl Wilson's picked solo notes) are present.
The demo begins with an intro that was later scrapped, and launches into the first verse with full group vocals, unlike the finished recording.
Then the final version adds, in the title/hook, Al Jardine, and Mike Love's bass voicing which both join in to complete the vocal mix.
[10] In the UPI (United Press International) weekly survey it was #17 nationally, upheld by its widespread success across the country wherever it was treated as an A-side: Rolling Stone named it #212 on its list of greatest songs of all-time.
