Debated Song Titles

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

Been Way Too Long/Can't Wait Too Long

Sail Plane / Glide Plane song

[Bicyclerider]

Heroes and Villians or Heroes and Villains?

[Andrew G. Doe]

Or even Heroes & Villains (as per the pic sleeve).

[Jason Penick]

Dennis edition:

Morning Christmas or Holy Evening or Holy Holy?
Companion or Constant Companion?
Baby Blue (Eyes) or Baby Blue?

Also, previously stated in the thread but I would still love to know:

Sweet Sunday Kind of Love or Sweet Sunday?
Add Some Music or Add Some Music to Your Day?


First ones listed are my preferred names, fwiw.

[Eric Aniversario]

This thread has gotten interesting...there are far more debated titles than I thought.  I wonder what the best way to get definitive answers would be, if that is even possible.

[PaulTMA]

Fallin' In Love or Lady?

[joshferrell]

Help me rhonda or help me ronda.....maybe someone should do a mash up of "help me rhonda" and "Little Honda" so it'll be titled "Help me honda"

It's weird, and kind of a Beach Boys-centric sort of phenomenon. You don't see this happening with the Beatles, for example.

Probably because of how comparitively little unreleased material the Beatle have. Most of the songs in this topic were either unreleased or released after being drawn from another (solo) project, so names get shuffled about.

With a song like Morning Christmas, which was in the vaults for two decades, and rejected from two different projects, it probably was just being called three different names by three different people.

[Sheriff John Stone]

Smile or SMiLE?

[Quzi]

Surfin' USA or Surfin' U.S.A
and
Surfin' USA or Surdin' U.S.A

 

[I. Spaceman]

Holidays or Here Come De Honeydew Man

[Al Jardine: Pick Up Artist]

Holidays or Here Come De Honeydew Man

oh, you

[Andrew G. Doe]

Smile or SMiLE?

Both wrong - Dumb Angel.

[Andrew G. Doe]

"Karate" or "Karote".

Being serious for a moment, I'd go with the version on the first release.

[Phoenix]

Smile or SMiLE?

Smile  
No debate.  End of story unless one has some kind of fascination with the random guy who did the typography on the vintage slicks.  And if that's the case, those same people should be corrected EVERY time they post "Good Vibrations" instead of "Good VibrAtions".  Duh.

Ah yes, one of my all-time BB fan forum moments was to learn that, after folk waffling on about how the lower case i indicated how Brian saw his place in the universe and wow isn't that cosmically significant, the letter in question was a result of some dude in the Capitol art department thinking it looked nice. You couldn't make it up.
