The Beach Boys are an American rock band formed in Hawthorne, California in 1961. The group's original lineup consisted of brothers Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson, their cousin Mike Love, and their friend Al Jardine. Distinguished by their vocal harmonies and early surf songs, they are one of the most influential acts of the rock era. The band drew on the music of jazz-based vocal groups, 1950s rock and roll, and black R&B to create their unique sound, and with Brian as composer, arranger, producer, and de facto leader, they often incorporated classical elements and unconventional recording techniques in innovative ways.

If this would have been promoted properly, it would have been a hit, I'm sure. But maybe someone at Capitol saw Mike in his monk outfit and quietly closed the door.

It's because they overlayed the actual studio recording over the live performance, so of course it won't match up.

These old TV performances! The wobbly mics, the wireless (unplugged) electric guitars (no kids, these were not a real thing until the 1980s), the often not-quite-right miming and slightly embarassed looks of the artists, it all looks kind of odd now. But, sadly for a lot of this old stuff, these are the best quality surviving visual "performances" of these classic hits. So much concert footage from those days was done on the cheap and looks very poor now. "Breakaway" is a BB classic and - as I recall - it was their last single for Capitol (which fed into the song's sentiment no doubt). That might also explain why it was not a success in the US, as I doubt Capitol were much inclined to put much marketing and plugging into it. Nonetheless - as noted elsewhere in these comments - it was a big hit in several European geographies - and in many other places - so, clearly, most of Capitol's overseas affiliates (EMI in the UK for example) did work hard on it.
