Kind of an odd choice to preview the album off; I didn't even hear Brian on this track. I certainly hear Brian but he adeptly uses the Wondermints in the same fashion he used to use the Beach Boys. It's really genius - such a different take of the song. Course, I like crazy stuff. |

I wonder if his version of When You Wish Upon A Star will sound like Surfer Girl?  I'm not sure if it's Disney, but am I the only one here who thinks Brian and his band would do a great version of the Peter and The Wolf theme?  Talking with a mutual friend when the album was first announced, we made our preferred tracklists, and one of my wants was for "Wish..." with the "Surfer Girl" middle-eight: if that happens, you know who to thank. My #1 preferred track was "Little April Showers". Oh well... ITKOD Vol 2, anyone ? I gotta admit, I wasn't expecting this kind of creative interpretation. Really a delight! Yes, let's have a volume 2! God please, no more Disney after this one. I've already stated my preference for ending the cover albums in another thread, but if this trend were to continue I'd at least like to hear him tackle something more interesting. Where's Brian Wilson Reimagines Ennio Morricone when you need it? Yeah, I know there's zero chance of that happening but his take on Regan's Theme from Exorcist 2 would be epic. Ok, I'll shut up now. |

Blech, that's totally depressing. Toy Story? Toy Story 3?!!!1!11 I'm with AGD on April Showers. There are some things I would have imagined Brian wanting to do a lot more than some of the more recent things. I wonder who's suggestion some of those were? Stay Awake was on my wishlist - but - ugh. Not even Pink Elephants on Parade? Even friggin' Alice in Wonderland had some good tunes. But then, I'm a Disney purist - my house is full of animation art. We know or knew a lot of the original animators for WB and Disney (and their families). I guess that's what happens when you have expectations - Gershwin was less of a letdown by far. ITKOD2 indeed.  |

Toy Story? Toy Story 3?!!!1!11 They're Randy Newman songs. Brian loves Randy, and has for decades. He also loves Elton John, so there's two "Lion King" songs. Not that complicated, and I'd expect these were actually his suggestions. |

Not that complicated, and I'd expect these were actually his suggestions. I know they're Randy Newman and Elton compositions - but I was hoping since Norbit was Brian's favorite movie, maybe he hadn't seen any Pixar or Lion King.  I'm also aware that they need to play for more than just us curmudgeons, and while I consider Toy Story new, a lot of folks here grew up with TS and LK. It just seems a bit heavy handed to pull that much from those films with so many decades of material available. I guess I was imagining Brian doing stuff from films (or even Disneyland shows/rides) he loved as a kid. |

Awesomeman, I'm pretty sure he's the first "heigh, ho" you hear.
I gave this another listen but honestly don't find it to be all that interesting. Just seems to be a whole lot of nothing going on. Maybe the other tracks will fare better. |

Yeah, because I'm just sure this album was really Brian's idea... |

Brian's got young girls. They probably love Toy Story, so Brian does Toy Story songs. Not that hard to figure out. |

Puns are perfectly fine. They're like knock knock jokes. You tell like 50 of them and only 1's any good, but nobody gets pissed off.
Sarcasm everybody thinks you're an ass as soon as you open your mouth. LOL

Brian Wilson Reimagines Johnny Cash's American Recordings.
I would actually pay good money to hear that one, or better still, a Brian Wilson album produced by Rick Rubin with the same sound style as those albums and Neil Diamond's Home Before Dark album.

I kind of wished Rubin would`ve gone the Wilson/Spector "big" production route with Diamond.
