"The Spirit of Rock n Roll" riff on the piano at the beginning of "The Like in I Love You" sounds cool.

the song Summertime from the album has some resemblance to Brian's production of the Honeys single: Summertime.  Grin Wink

Unless The Honeys did in fact record a version of this song, you must mean Sharon Marie.

oh cwap! good call.

my ipod is messed up on the pet projects album, and it says every song on that album is sung by Sharon Marie, so I assumed it wasn't her.

Touch of 'Surf City' falsetto on 'I Got Rhythm' chorus.

There's a riff in Someone to Watch Over Me that had me scratching my head for a week - couldn't place it in the BB/BW repertoire at all, and replaying the tune didn't help cos the rest of the song distracted me too much. Now I have it, and it's a not a BBs ref at all, it's from the Elton John song Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me.  It's not an actual lift, just a hint at it, an essence even.  But isn't that the Elton song that half the BBs did backing vocals for?

I believe it's just Carl and Bruce on there along with (I think) other familiar faces Toni Tennille and Billy Hinsche.

I love that George Michaels live version, where Elton comes out on stage and just completely DESTROYS the song (in a good way).  George Michaels sings the first verse, pretty good, then Elton comes out and it sounds like GOD is singing it.  I know a lot of people don't like his 'later' voice, but the thunder he's capable of is just amazing.  It sounds like the stadium is going to crumble or something, just awesome.

LOL great video of it.  'little trip back to 1991.  George looks like Ringo.  Elton looks like he's wearing an Osh Kosh B'Gosh jump suit.

I like the bit best when George says 'Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr Elton John...!'

In I Got Plenty Of Nothing there's a possible ref to Dennis's River Song in that wonderful descending riff which occurs at 0.29, 0.47 and 1.28. Tenuous but you never know...

"I got plenty of nothin'" has part of the bassline of the Beatles' "Something"


The vocals that come up in "Summertime" after the "rise up singing"-lyric remind me of "Country air" but that's probably just my imagination

a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.

- Lester Bangs on The Beach Boys


PRO SHOT BEACH BOYS CONCERTS - LIST


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.
