The Beach Boys demo of "In My Room" (Brian Wilson - Gary Usher) was released on the set "Good Vibrations: 30 Years of The Beach Boys" . According to the co-author of the lyric, Gary Usher the tune was written in less than an hour. This is a Brian Wilson quote from Wikipedia: "I also enjoyed producing 'In My Room'. There is a story behind this song. When Dennis, Carl and I lived in Hawthorne as kids, we all slept in the same room. One night I sang the song 'Ivory Tower' to them and they liked it. Then a couple of weeks later, I proceeded to teach them both how to sing the harmony parts to it. It took them a little while, but they finally learned it. We then sang this song night after night. It brought peace to us. When we recorded 'In My Room', there was just Dennis, Carl and me on the first verse...and we sounded just like we did in our bedroom all those nights. This story has more meaning than ever since Dennis' death."

The Beach Boys "In My Room" was the B side of "Be True To Your School" from the 1963 gold status LP "Surfer Girl" which featured a cover photo of Dennis Wilson, David Marks, Carl Wilson, Mike Love and Brian Wilson. The single reached number twenty-three on the Top One Hundred.
