That said, Wilson Phillips' version of "Daniel" comes from that album, and is pretty decent. Ironic that the kids could do it properly while the older family members just seemed like the crazy uncles who want to be hip (which I suppose they were).

Totally agree.  That cut is the best one on the album.

Carl doesn't look like himself in this video, wearing that hat. David Marks wears shades a lot, too, so maybe their fondness for shades is a Beach Boys lead guitarist thing. Razz

Stamos' intention was to make the "Croc Rock" video look as cheesy as possible in a "camp" (deliberately tongue-in-cheek) manner. In that regard, I don't think he quite achieved the "camp" element.

Well, if a key component to something being camp is for the audience to be aware that it's camp...no, I think he didn't. That's a tricky balancing act, though, even with people who have experience directing camp successfully.

This song , once again, has the band splitting the lead vocals between Al and Carl (the bridge).. I think this song would have worked better if Al had sung the whole thing.

IMHO I hated  the bands habit of splitting up the leads in the 80's and 90's 

Well, and the 60s and 70s. Right back in the beginning it was often Mike on verses and Brian on chorus. Pet Sounds certainly has tracks where the lead singer changes every verse or so.

Isn't it awful? This is part of what makes me sad for Carl, that his last few projects with his band were so...well, not anything that's going to end up in their career highlights.
