BUT I ALWAYS THOUGHT "BAKER MAN" HAD THAT MIKE SOUND, YOU KNOW?

[jammer730]

Sorry if this has already been posted, but does anyone know the bg lyrics to "Slip on Through"?

I know it's something like:

Baby, baby, believe that I...I love you ahh ahhh

Am I overlistening, I dunno...

[Paulos]

No such thing as over listening to The Beach Boys my friend!

Who does the grunts in 'Bicycle Rider'? Mike?

I always thought Mike as well.

No, no NO !!! It's Brian !  Don't you understand ? Everything you think is Mike, is actually Brian - yes, even the lead on "Fun, Fun, Fun". Brian is a genius, he can imitate everyone's voice perfectly. Always remember this. It was even Brian pumping gas.

Hay, I'm not trying to give Brian too much credit in stating he sang "I Love to Say Da Da". I just think there's no way that's Michael.

And you ,sir, are correct

So, uh, what does Brian do for hobbies (excluding music, which is also his profession)? He must have stuff he does besides that which he enjoys thoroughly and can spend a day engaged in. Adopt kids, I guess?

According to the man himself, he enjoys sex twice a day, every day.

Ah, crap, I remember reading that back in the day - nearly choked on my Coke, typical Brian. 

[bossaroo]

there's an early take of "Back Home" on my copy of 'Landylocked'

sounds like a mid-60s production and vocal from Brian. when exactly was it recorded???
also, is there a better version of this take? mine sounds pretty bad.

[Andrew G. Doe]

According to this site - http://www.esquarterly.com/bellagio/gigs63.html - June 14th 1963, at Gold Star: at the same session the track for "Run Around Lover" was recorded (and labelled as "Black Wednesday"). That's as good as it gets, sadly - the original master tape is heat damaged.

[bossaroo]

thanks for the reply...
somehow knowing it's heat damage to the tape and not digital glitches makes it more listenable... not sure why.

Brian and Mike really had a similar vocal sound back in the day. There's parts here that sound just like Mike to me.

and why'd Bri get rid of the bridge when they recast this tune for '15 Big Ones'?
Well I'll miss bein' here with ya'all, but I won't regret it
I'll be workin' with Paw til we hear that "Come and get it!"

love it!

For what it's worth, the 1963 Back Home also goes around from an acetate dub, which is considerably clearer than the tape source with only a few clicks and pops.

I actually dreamed last night that BriMel had adopted another child.

[Paulos]

I don't think that was a dream....

[Wrightfan]

I actually dreamed last night that BriMel had adopted another child.

I dreamed a week ago a light fell on Al Jardine while he was performing with Brian and Brian was curled up around his immobile carcass crying

I win.

How did the loins of someone as nasty as Murry Wilson produce three of the most beautiful voices in history?

I had a dream a couple days ago that Al finally finished and released his album A Postcard From Chinesedemocracy. It was fucking crazy, to say the least.

Never gonna happen...

What are the words being sung right before "Thank you for the sweet inspiration/that you for the love that I found" in Wild Situation? It sounds to me like either "My Lord", "Oh no", or "Oh Lord". Or possible "My no/know", but this makes no sense at all. I know it's a weird question, but it's been bugging the hell out of me.

TWICE a day, EVERY day?  With who???

It'll have Al duetting with Kim Jong-Il on a remake of Barbara Ann, entitled Bomb Shanghai. These are the lyrics.

Bomb, bomb, bomb...bomb, bomb Shanghai!
Bomb, bomb, bomb...bomb, bomb Shanghai!
Bomb Shanghai
Out of the sky
Bomb Shanghai
You got me rockin' and a-rollin'
Now we're gonna go and just bomb Shanghai, bomb, bomb Shanghai!

That's what we all said.
