Brian's use of humour
Mitchell:
That's a good subject: Comical background vocals.
Also note the 'raspberry' in Busy Doin' Nothing.
I think Brian's "day to day" lyrics are funny, too. The first time I noticed the end of I'd Love Just Once to See You, I laughed aloud.

I love doing crap like that. I made some weird "bad on purpose" music (music is a relative term in this case) five years ago or so with my friends called Marty Tingles. On one of the CDs, for about four tracks, the music would get quieter from track to track, making the person turn up their radio listening. Then the most obnoxious sound would bring it back up to normal volume. We also did stuff like that within a song. Awesome!
I think most of my own music is based around that concept :lol:

I was listening to Summer Days (and Summer Nights!!) the other day for the first time in a while, and the end of the album is very obviously another example of Brian's juxtaposition humour. Going from the gentle, lush Summer Means New Love to the sloppy pounding of I'm Bugged at My Old Man (even the title is funny) is great! Then he follows the shouted lead vocals and comical backing vocals of Bugged with the gorgeous a cappella And Your Dream Comes True to turn the trick back on itself. It would make SENSE to follow Summer Means New Love with And Your Dream Comes True, so Brian just tosses in this awkward beast right in the middle!
