AGD sez:  While "Beach Baby" does indeed have a definite BB influence, it owes exactly nothing to either Pet Sounds or Smile and precisely everything to All Summer Long and Summer Days. 

Gotta disagree--there's a french horn line near the end that is a very obvious ripoff of the one from "God Only Knows"--so that's a hair less than exactly nothing.  Otherwise, yeah, I agree.

Actually it's a riff from Sibelius' 5th symphony, the same one that Strawberry Switchblade used for their 1984 hit "Since Yesterday".  Grin

The horns at the ending of 'Beach Baby' are clearly playing a melody from 'Let's Go To San Francisco' by The Flower Pot Men - a song that lead singer Tony Burrows and songwriter John Carter had previously collaborated on.

That too.

Really, virtually the entire E6 qualifies, in that about a third to a half of it in the early years (say, '96-'02, before Elf Power hit its straightforward pattern and Of Montreal went funky) existed pretty much to praise Smile. (With the others in their Beatles-Kinks bag.) It's just a matter of which songs you want to pick.
