My Diane

[RONDEMON]

Song woulda been better if Bruce sang it through a vocoder.
Fact.

the chorus if you can call it a chorus

Yes, it's a chorus. As for the best Brian's song with Dennis's vocals, I dig This Car of Mine, The Wanderer, Do You Wanna Dance, In The Back of My Mind (my favorite slow number on the 2nd side of Today), I Wanna Pick You Up (mostly because of the melody, not his vocals, though) & some others.

Brian didn't write The Wanderer and Do You Wanna Dance. But I'm sure you know that and are quite familiar with the classic original versions.

Yes, my mistake. Someone should be careful reader of questions. Saying that, the originals of these 2 songs are deathly pale in comparison with The BBs' covers. Specially, Do You Wanna Dance. Imo The Boys' v-n is the definitive of any others', full stop.

I wouldn't call them definitive. Especially as The Beach Boys' The Wanderer doesn't even begin to approach the greatness of Dion's.

Fact.

And then with the "I love you Diane, I miss you Diane" part have the harmonies put through a phaser like the sound at the beginning and end of It's Over Now.
