Totally useless fact, but of the 8 tracks that Tony Asher wrote lyrics for on Pet Sounds, he did not recieve a 50-50 writing credit. Instead he was given a one-off payment of around $20,000, with Brian simply saying that it was the music that was most important. In the case of The Beach Boys in general, I have to agree. I can only name around 15 other tracks which compare to the lyrics of the songs on Pet Sounds.
