SIP Could Have Sold Much Better As Is

Ya...I don't think it would have mattered much what they did with it. AND I am way more WILLING to enjoy this album than most because usually there'll be something they do in almost EVERY song that makes it work even if only for seconds. It's still magic to me.
But some TV guy taking a Dennis CLASSIC and harming it is not a good plan. Trying to make Surfin' work again? Whoever thought that was a good idea is a Bom Bom Dip Dip Di DIP. No reordering of single releases was ever going to make this anything other than ... oh how can I best describe this album without being a Dip myself??? ... a very well packaged failure not worthy of a group with such an impressive history, legacy, pedigree and body of work.
I never, EVER wanted to see MY group...the sand-pail sailors...get turned into Sha Na Na.
I still don't.

As bad as Surfin' is on this album, has anyone else at all heard that they remixed (or were going to remix) Surfin' into "a dance song" in the late 90's/early 00's? I swear I did not dream this...Mike and Bruce played Reading Municipal Stadium in 2001 I believe and the local radio station, Y-102 (102.5) was promoting the show. They were playing some Beach Boys songs during the day, including Getcha Back which I hadn't heard on the radio in well over a decade at that point, and the DJ mentioned that they were going to play a "new" Beach Boys' song around 5PM that day and then clarified it and said that it was a dance remix of Surfin'. My initial reaction was "Please don't" but although I was morbidly curious, I wasn't around a radio around that time and missed it. I did make it to the show that night though. Has anyone else heard about this?
I recall Bruce mentioning this on the BB Britain Board in the early 00's. He said that it would be in the style of Britney Spears, if I remember correctly.

You know, the non-release of this sounds like the band's image avoided a bit of nuclear fallout there. My active imagination makes me think it would have made Here Comes the Night 1979 sound like Pet Sounds.
