Note: The above list of performers is assumed from the fact that this track was recorded on the same day as The Man With All The Toys, Santa's Beard, and Christmas Day, and that the former two tracks (and possibly the third as well) featured the Beach Boys playing the instruments themselves instead of hiring The Wrecking Crew. However, according to the liner notes for The Beach Boys Ultimate Christmas, Ray Pohlman may have played the bass guitar on this track instead of Jardine.
