This is fun thread. With new albums by Brian/ Mike, here's new additions:
"Ram Raj" - anagram to the real title
"On The Island" - Brian is city dweller
"Our Special Love" - contrary to popular belief, it's not dedicated to Mike.
"Pisces Brothers" - there's no such famous brother name. Warner Brothers, Everly Brothers, Walker Brothers - yes. But not Pisces.
"Too Cruel" - Mike is vegetarian
"Runaway Dancer" - Sebu likes to dance but he didn't run away from stage, going by youtube vids.
"Half Moon Bay" - wait, is it
half moon
bay or half
moon bay
?
-------------------------------
"Mexican Girl" - what if she's Tex-Mex?
"Nearest Faraway Place" - wha'?
"The Wanderer" - Dennis stays put playing drums, doesn't walk around beating march band drums
"East Meets West" - when it's west's turn to meet east?
"Hey Everybody" - apparently everybody listens to American Spring & they greet, well, everybody.
"Mrs. O'Leary's Cow" - is it really?
Logged
Lime is food? Yep.
Mandarin and Clementine went to meet the entire citrus gang, nobody ate people.

Good to revive the thread, RR.
Let's Go Trippin' - Were the Beach Boys "trippin'" that early?

"No White Flags." - Team Gleason
"(Brian) got into this really touching music with songs like 'In My Room', and 'Good Vibrations' was amazing. The melodies are so beautiful, almost perfect. I began to realize he was one of the most gifted writers of our generation." - Paul Simon

Surfin, Surfin Safari, etc - everyone knows Dennis was the only one who surfed
Warmth of the Sun - the sun is actually extremely HOT, not merely warm
Catch a Wave - good luck with that. once you do it's just seawater, not a wave
All Summer Long - you can't have fun ALL summer long. you've got to sleep sometime
The Man With All the Toys - ALL the toys? what about the ones from last year. and the year before that?
Good To My Baby - that's not what I heard, Mike.
When I Grow Up - they were basically all of legal age at the time
Let Him Run Wild - seems dangerous. I say let's call the cops
The Little Girl I Once Knew - technically she is indeed the same girl
Hang On To Your Ego - your ego is an intangible thing
Good Vibrations - we know that tensions were high around this time, with Brian even cancelling sessions due to "bad vibes"
Wake the World - good luck with that as well. some people are very heavy sleepers
It's About Time - seems to be about other things really
Only With You - come on, Dennis.
It's Over Now - no the song is still playing

Spring Vacation - "summer weather, we're back together" Spring or summer, which is it?
The Man With All the Toys - If he gives them out every Christmas, then he can't possibly have ALL the toys, can he?
Santa's Beard - Silly me, I thought that was about Mrs. Claus and a secret sexual preference for the big man
Kokomo - Hard to get a tropical contact high in Indiana.
Wake the World - You can't wake the whole world to a brand new morning because it's not morning everywhere.
Busy Doin Nothin - That's a lot of effort to make a phone call. Not exactly nothin'
