Girls On The Beach Film Question

[Alan Smith]

Here's the record http://www.45cat.com/record/nc268037us

Wow. I've neither seen nor heard of this one before. I assume it's real, but is it really one of a kind? Can't believe more weren't pressed.

More info: http://www.beachboys45.nl/USA-Regular-Capitol%20Promo%20EP.htm

Totally fascinating and a little bit 

Mind blowing that 3 releases of the band's indie-label debut has been tracked via lived-it recollections (as per Stephen McParland's writings) across three pressings, but a major label EP tied in with a major studio (Paramount) is a head scratcher.

[Lonely Summer]

Was this movie supposed to be a parody mocking the Beatles and their fans or was this just a horrible script thrown together to jump on the bandwagon of the American International Pictures Beach Movies?  Because why would you need the Beatles with the Beach Boys there? 

When this film showed up on AMC around 2000, a friend and I puzzled over the same thing. The kids are going crazy about getting the Beatles there, and they've already got the Beach Boys. WTF? 

[Tricycle Rider]

Poor Brian. Paramount enlists The Beach Boys to help give their awful film a boost, (even naming it after one of their songs) only to have them play second banana to The Beatles.

After the boys play Little Honda:

Selma: That group is pretty good, don't you think Duke?
Duke: Mmm...not bad.
Cynthia: We were thinking of hiring them for a show our sorority's gonna give.
Georgia: I think they're almost as good as The Beatles.
Duke: You must be kidding (laughs)...the boys would sure get a kick out of that.
Cynthia: What boys?
Duke: Huh?..oh nothing...you know, Paul, John, Ringo...The Beatles. (poor George...2nd class Beatle already!)

I love both groups, so please, no Beach Boys vs. Beatles stuff. It's just something I couldn't help noting.

[Rocky Raccoon]

Geez, that's actual dialogue from the movie?  I didn't bother watching any scenes the boys weren't in.  I wish the Beach Boys had gotten to make their own Hard Days Night.  Surely they must have considered it given the success of that movie.  It might not have been great but it would mean there would be more to the Beach Boys on film than crap like The Girls On the Beach and The Monkey's Uncle.  Well, at least there is The TAMI Show which is awesome.

"Little Honda" was the BEST part of the whole movie.  the rest of it is just stupid and pointless and has HORRIBLE acting in it. And remember the part with Arlene and Stew after "Lonely Sea"?

Arlene: Hey, wasn't that group nutting?
Stew: Well rhythmically speaking I'd say they were adequate, of course their choral structure could never be compared to that used by Beethoven or Bach.  When those men wrote symphonies they really...Arlene, what's the matter?
Arlene: Oh, nothing Stew I a...I was just looking at the moon.

if it had been me
Stew:...Jess what's the matter?
Me: Brian Wilson is a freakin genius that's what's the matter, and those stupid girls in the sorority don't recognize a good group when they see one! 

[Mikie]

Speaking of the Beatles and Lennon singing Lonely Sea. Anybody here heard it?

[Mr. Cohen]

Arlene: Hey, wasn't that group nutting?
Stew: Well rhythmically speaking I'd say they were adequate, of course their choral structure could never be compared to that used by Beethoven or Bach.  When those men wrote symphonies they really...Arlene, what's the matter?
Arlene: Oh, nothing Stew I... was staring at Mike and Dennis. They're way cuter than you and more beautiful than the moon. And that Brian guy is a genius.

I haven't, but sounds interesting.  Any good?

That makes more sense than what was in the movie!

[Tricycle Rider]

Oh man. I've watched a little bit more of it tonight. It's TERRIBLE. The scene where Duke is in the phone booth pretending he's Ringo is the WORST English accent I've ever heard. Not London, Not Manchester, Not Liverpool. More like, Australian, Southern United States, and the worst Terry Thomas impression you can imagine all rolled into one and alternating every few words. I thought of Andrew (G. Doe) IMMEDIATELY and felt embarrassed to be American and "I" wasn't even there!

This thing is a train wreck I just can't look away from.

Good Lord....

Yea I know right!  Those scenes made me so mad.  It's not even worth watching after Little Honda, and that's just half of the movie right there.

Duke: "I'll prove I'm Ringo.  Yea yea yea yea"
Girls: AHAHAHAAAH
Me:  ...Seriously?

The longer this movie went on, the worst it got.  Yet, I can't look away either.

That proves he's Ringo alright! The only Beatle NOT singing on "She Loves You"!....hahahaha

I Wanna Marry A Beatle

Yeah, Yeah Yeah YEAH!

We want to marry a Beatle Oooh!
We want a hold of their hand, yeah yeah yeah YEAH!
John, Paul, George or Ringo too,
We love em all and any one will do,
One is good, but we'd rather have two.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

We want to marry a Beatle Oooh!
We want one of Ringo's rings, yeah yeah yeah YEAH!
Just like the gold one on his drummer hand,
We hope some day it'll be a wedding band,
Then he's sure to know we're his biggest fan.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Solo! (scream!)

We want to marry a Beatle Oooh!
We want him please to sing, yeah yeah yeah YEAH!

And when he sings to us we'll be-a floatin' on air,
We're gonna run our fingers through his mop-top hair.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

We want to marry a Beatle Oooh!
Since we saw him standing there, yeah yeah yeah YEAH!
We'll never forget when he touched our glove,
To get it to him we had to push and shove,
and when he said to us "I Say, Don't Do That Luv".

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

We want to marry a Beatle Oooh!
We want to marry a Beatle Oooh!
We want to marry a Beatle Oooh!

We want to marry a Beatle Oooh! (Fade to screams)

Nope, and no-one has heard it here or anywhere else, ever, in the entire history of the universe, nor ever will. Because it never happened. Total myth.

  one of the worst songs I ever heard!  And the girls in the audience were still screaming as if they were actually the Beatles 

[Mikie]

I have it. Get Back/Let It Be Sessions, Nagra Reel, and others. Some say Lennon's playing/singing it; some say no. Sulpy and Schweighardt say it is but that's neither here nor there. I'll have to go home tonight and listen to it again to see which side of the fence I'm leaning today.

It's there if you want it to be!
