Songs often mistaken for Beach Boys songs

- The First Class - Beach Baby
- The Surfers - Windsurfin'
- pretty much every Jan & Dean song

Any others?

[Summer_Days]

Little GTO.

Barbara Ann (I mean most people think the Beach Boys were the first to record this song)

Some of Brian's solo songs, from what I have seen on the web.

I work in a record store and these are some that have made customers ask "Isn't that the Beach boys?"
Shannon by Henry Gross
Wishing You Were Here by Chicago
Tell Someone You Love Them by Dino Desi & Billy

[PMcC]

.....on the Chicago song, tell em it's the Beach Boys on backround vocal...

[L Ransford]

I used to think that the gruffer lead vocal on "Wishing You Were Here" was Dennis.

Hey Little Cobra by the Rip Chords

[punkinhead]

Yeah, Mike Love doesn't help matters by performing these oldies in concert....Like Sherry, Duke Of Earl, Little GTO...doesn't defend our case well...It'd be cool if they performed Hey Little Cobra, they'd be slightly steller...I'm suprised Mike hasn't asked some of his friends in the past to join the bandwagon like Dean Torrence

[Fun Is In]

When I was a kid, one of my favorite "Beach Boys" songs was "She's Just My Style".

On AM radio, Gary Lewis sounded rather like Mike Love and "the Playboys" sounded like the Wrecking Crew. That surf guitar solo didn't hurt either (but it does nowadays)
