Using the term "dinosaurs" and then throwing in some easy names to make your case : Beach Boys (what "Beach Boys" are you talking about-the Mike Love version or the Beach Boys Family version or maybe you're talking about Brian Wilson-who we should all be on our knees thanking the gods that he has returned to touring so that if you're lucky you might get to see some of the best musiuc of the 20th century performed by the writer) look-i know it sounds like I'm overeacting but this type of lazy "rock" writing just bothers me.

It's a pretty faithful rendition of the original, including the cocktail party sound effects at the start, and what sounds pretty much like Eno's original electronic squeaks and burps. Zev plays the James Bond theme rather than Day Tripper in his solo.
