Songs that may or may not exist....

Years ago on another message board I asked about Sweetie and Andrew said that it is a 1981 studio recording with a shared lead vocal between Mike, Brian and Al. Recorded without the participation of Carl, apparently.

Also, the other two Jasper Dailey Songs

  If those are like Teetertotterlove they should stay lost. 

Teeter Totter Love is good for a laugh if nothing else. It's a curiosity. A peace of the puzzle that is the SMiLE Sessions, for better or worse. Obviously they were never meant to be released, but they are significant if for no other reason than the fact they prove Brian's state of mind at the time: He knew time was running out...he missed the deadline he had given Capitol...and he's wasting precious time on these novelty songs that, frankly, nobody would ever want to hear. Either he needed a break from the, apparently, stressful task of remixing H&V or he was stoned, living in the moment, and wanted a laugh listening to these goofy songs. It just says a lot about his mind at the time, the fact that they exist. For whatever reason, Brian thought this was more important to record and take up valuable studio time then, say, finishing up the verses of CIFOTM, or the 'Sandwich Isles/Ribbon of Concrete' sections of Worms. It should be heard then, these songs...

Has anybody on the board ever heard this version?

[Mr. Wilson]

If you look at the 1981 concert at Long Beach Queen Mary before the show Charlie Tuna interviewed BB and Mike + Brian talk briefly about a new song they are writing called Sweetie.. No I haven't heard it..I also read Love Ya was  Sweetie revised..

Somebody on here once noted that "Love Ya" sounds like a rewritten version of "Why Don't You Tell Me" from the Cocaine Sessions.

Present, but I haven't anything to contribute. To quote Sgt. Schultz:

"I know nothing, nothing!"

I think I remember hearing that Carnie, Wendy and Brian cut a version of Sweetie for "The Wilsons" album but obviously it didn't make the album.
