who do you want whispering into your ear about an island getaway: Zooey or Mike?

 Now, that's a compelling argument! |

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

I know I'm likely in the minority here, but I like Kokomo. Which is probably why I like On the Island on NPP.
I'm actually kinda surprised how many fans liked On the Island. I'd be willing to bet if the song was written by Mike Love and appeared on a Beach Boys album, people would slam it.

I like Kokomo, too. And, Jimmy Buffet, which seems to be some kind of heresy around here. I'm all about that sunny escapism, whether it's the Southern California beaches or the tropics or Key West. Getting away in your mind can soothe the soul. That's why I don't mind the Boys' fun in the sun era as much as some people on here.

I'm a Buffett fan too. He actually does a pretty decent cover of Sail On Sailor that was included on his Meet Me In Margaritaville compilation in 2003.
It was the fun and sun era that initially drew me to The Beach Boys a few years back. Over time, I grew to appreciate their more mature material.

Brian's already taken his own stab at "Kokomo". It was called "South American". Remember that one? Hello...?

"On the island" is a really well written song in the bossa nova style as has already be said. I don't see any similaritier to "Kokomo" except the tropical island-theme. I like both songs very much but that's about it. "On the island" should have a caption though imo: "A day in the life of Bill and Sue".  |

Maybe the Island is where Bill and Sue disappeared to.  |

I can't really compare the two. Yeah, maybe similar subject matter but the vibes are very different. South American was Brian's Kokomo.

Or...really...was Kokomo Mike's 'Sunshine'? |

I'd agree with that, since Michael had about as much to do with Kokomo as Brian did with Sunshine! |

Wasn't Sunshine just a little loop of a Brian melody fragment that got repeated, and stretched (by other band members, after the fact) into a whole song? I wonder if there was a tape of that fragment somewhere. Maybe it's called something different too. |

Are we referring to Sunshine on Keepin' the Summer Alive or Sunshine on Imagination?

I was talking about the KTSA version. Of course the Imagination version was sourced from My Solution, so both Sunshines are recycled product  |

Yeah, Sunshine on Keepin' the Summer Alive was sourced from the band's cover of Little Girl and then expanded into its own song. However, it was actually Happy Days that was sourced from My Solution. Sunshine on Imagination apparently is mostly Joe Thomas' trip.
