Also an ideal song to use for practising vocal accompaniment due to its simplicity, the workload permitting focus on vocals.

An unlikable song by America? Never!!

Funny side note about Bunnell and Beckley about their songwriting: In an interview, they said that Beckley wrote the 'indoor' songs (Sister Golden Hair) and Bunnell wrote the 'outdoor' songs (Ventura Highway). Funny insight in to their own writing.
