That was the pilot episode before it was recast. "Featuring music legend Little Richard as the harried principal Mr. Belding"

I love how numerous BB collaborations could never even be bothered to get a shot of the band with the collaborator together. They were always awkward clip jobs:



And here's a super rare unreleased piece of cover art:

At least this tribute band has Don Goldberg, which I *think* is the "Sweet and Bitter" guy:



Meanwhile, this guy is trying with the circa-1984 Mike Love hat:



Even more ironically, when Google looks for "similar images" to pics of the BBs from the 80s, you also get this:



Back to "Happy Endings", it's even weirder they couldn't get a pic of them all together, because I recall that there was an interview with the band and Little Richard around the time the single was released. They were in the same room at some point.

Why on earth, when paired with Little Richard, did the guys decide to go for the slowest song possible? I would have loved to have heard Richard paired with the Boys on Rock 'N' Roll to the Rescue.

There was a TV-interview with Mike, Bruce and Little Richard. The other guys weren't there.

But Brian appeared in a Little Richard music video for a song he recorded in the late 80s or early 90s. Might be for "Itsy bitsy spider" but I don't remember

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

Apparently Brian's in here somewhere. The visual quality is truly abysmal:

I think I got a screengrab of what I'm *guessing* is Brian from that video (in the yellow shirt), although the quality on the video is super awful:

This may be the most recent footage we have of Bruce audibly playing any given keyboarded instrument he's seated (or standing) at.

Finally got around to watching this on my DVR. The music video for Kokomo was a version I had never seen before--it had all the footage from Cocktail replaced with generic beach/paradise looking scenes. The new scenes were all HD quality, which was a bit out of place when included with the shots of the band on the beach at the Grand Floridian at Walt Disney World.

I noticed that too, it was as you said all of the Cocktail imagery was edited out and replaced by what looked like modern stock footage of tropical/island scenery and activities. It didn't gel at all, but I think we can venture a guess as to why the Cocktail footage was cut out, beyond the obvious potential copyright/usage and licensing points.

Not to open up an old debate, but I remember seeing that video many, many times on MTV when it was new and later on VH-1 as a 'classic', and the film's success and Tom Cruise and all the tie-ins helped drive that song on the charts, video and radio/sales. IMO. It was cross-promotion just as Miami Vice did with any number of songs like Smugglers Blues or In The Air Tonight after they were linked to the show.

But yeah, this was unexpected and a little jarring too when they ran the clip and those modern images came on.

I wasn't really looking at this thread, and I needed some comedy today.  Now I have it before I wander off to sort-of entertain my husband and deal with other normal things in the physical world  It'still there, right?  How far we drift.

Was "Happy Endings" listed when PBS aired this special?

Mark Linett posted at the end of August that "Happy Endings" wasn't on the CD and provided the correct tracklisting.

The good news is that Mike recorded a new version of “Surfin’ USA” for the various-artist collection in addition to “Do It Again.”
