Andy Paley later shared an anecdote related to the song that occurred during the filming of the 1995 documentary Brian Wilson: I Just Wasn't Made for These Times.
Don Was said, "Brian, I have recorded all these people talking about how important your work is to them, what is the heaviest work you've ever done?" Up until that point, Brian hadn't been giving them much ... I think they were hoping to get more of him interview-wise. Brian got really exctied by this quetion and said, "Okay, I'm gonna give you an honest answer to the best thing I ever did ... I'm gonna talk about 'Drive-In'." Brian started talking about "Drive-In" and vividly remembered cutting the track, being stoked about it, getting the guys around the microphone and getting the perfect blend. He said that was the best thing he had ever done.[3]
