As a solo artist, a remake of the song was recorded – along with an accompanying video – by Brian Wilson for inclusion in the 1995 documentary ''[[Brian Wilson: I Just Wasn't Made for These Times|I Just Wasn't Made for These Times]]'' and it would later appear on the film's soundtrack. This version, produced by Brian and [[Don Was]], is much more sparse than the original. Brian's re-recording of the song was released as the second track on a relatively rare UK single in 1995. However, the single failed to make any impact on the charts.{{Citation needed|date=March 2010}} In 2000, over a period of two days on April 7 and 8, Brian and his band recorded a live version of the song—based on Desper's extended mix—for inclusion on Brian's 2000 live album ''[[Live at the Roxy Theatre]]''.
A sample of the song appears as part of the [[Music from Love & Mercy|soundtrack]] to the 2014 film ''[[Love & Mercy (film)|Love & Mercy]]'' on the track "The Bed Montage", composed by [[Atticus Ross]].
