"Marcella" is a song by the American rock band the Beach Boys from their 1972 album Carl and the Passions – "So Tough".

[2] The verse melody of "Marcella" branched from an earlier track entitled "I Just Got My Pay" (recorded during sessions for Sunflower) which itself branched from another discarded song called "All Dressed Up for School" (recorded during the making of The Beach Boys Today!).

Both songs were released on the 1993 box set Good Vibrations: Thirty Years of The Beach Boys.

Music journalist Nick Kent explains that she "worked at a parlour just off the strip called Circus Maximus" and had allowed Wilson to "stay and talk to her even though she was aware most of what he said was crazy bullshit.

"[4] According to Jack Rieley: About that time Brian began talking in detail about a massage parlour in West Hollywood and one of the girls who worked there.

"[8] "Marcella" was recorded on February 17, 1972 during the same session for "Out in the Country" and "Body Talk" at the Beach Boys' Bel Air studio.
