I knew about Satie's furniture music, but I read somewhere else that he debuted it at an art gallery opening, where he posted signs instructing the patrons to ignore the music being played behind a screen, which of course they failed to do.
I guess tastes differ - I never liked Good Vibrations or the Beach Boys generally. But I liked this article.

Oo i haven’t heard this version! It turns out the whole episode is pretty legendary, so you can find a few different retellings other than Lanza’s
And lol to each their own. But i’ll gladly add “better than the beach boys” to my blog’s blurb, so ty for that
Thank you for all the work on this one! As a lover of music, this was such an amazing read.
