The song of the afternoon in honor of Carls birthday tomorrow is Trader. Trader was written by Carl and Jack Rieley. It was first released as a single in May 1971, and did not chart. It was then released on their 1971 album Surfs Up, and was re released as a single, with a different b-side, Til I Die, in October of the same year. This time it made it to #89 on the Billboard Hot 100. Aside from a few guitar parts written in the early days of the band, the song is Carl Wilsons first composition, he plays all of the instruments and handles the lead vocal on the track. https://youtube/watch?v=OeainNE22LE
