What do Beach Boys songs taste like?

[Don_Zabu]

I've found that a fun game is to take a song and describe what kind of food it would be if that song was a food. For example, Simon and Garfunkel taste like honey on bread, death metal tastes like seared sirloin, and according to my mother, country music tastes like spam.

In my eyes, The Beach Boys taste like walnut cake - sweet, but also uniquely savory.

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

Tastes like chicken.

[Jason]

T-bone steaks, birthday cake, Reddi-Whip, and a mountain of cocaine.

[SloopJohnB]

In my opinion, some Beach Boys songs DO taste like a juicy steak. Case in point: "Let Us Go On This Way".



Also, I have no idea why I'm posting in this thread.

[Dave in KC]

Sugar and spice and everything nice.

A New England clambake...

Maine Lobster, steamed clams, drawn butter and corn on the cob!

Cold draft beer!

What a alimentary metaphor - food for music!

"Like Water for Chocolate!" (the movie)   

Maybe it varies according to from whence you hail...

[Bicyclerider]

Many taste like a carrot.

[Emdeeh]

Carl Wilson vocals = dark chocolate 

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

Speed Turtle tastes like moldy ass.

[A Million Units In Jan!]

Shortnin' Bread.

Varies because, despite popular wisdom, the Beach Boys output consists of quite a varied canon.

Surfin' USA tastes like good quality candy.

Surf's Up more like a high quality sweet/savoury slice of cake.

Kokomo.......fake egg...but well made fake egg.

Pet Sounds tastes like warm summer rain during a chill winter snowfall.

Smiley Smile tastes like an everlasting gum-drop.

Wild Honey tastes like a near ice-cold beer after a hard-days work.

20-20 tastes like stale crackers with sharp-cheddar cheese whiz topping.

If you could taste the sensation of floating through a cloud, I think that is what Friends would taste like.

What do Wishbone Ash songs taste like?

[Mr. Cohen]

"Ding Dang" tastes like beef jerky.

[Magic Transistor Radio]

Apple red happiness, gum drop holidays, cinnamon singing inside, pepperment energy

[filledeplage]

Carl Wilson vocals = dark chocolate 

Yes they do! 

Each and every one of them!

They say that dark chocolate is good for your heart!  (If you have one!) 

Great comparison!

Spam

[The Madcap]

They taste like Mike Love's hair (in other words, nothing)

[Myk Luhv]

They taste like Mike Love's hair (in other words, nothing)

Well they are British!

[Dave in KC]

Other than the oldies, most people think it tastes like chicken.

Carl Wilson vocals = dark chocolate  

Carl = Dark chocolate and red wine.

Brian's - French hot chocolate
Dennis -Italian Expresso
Alan - Butterscotch - like chocolate, only blond - makes a great sundae!
Mike - a real Coca-Cola in a green glass bottle (not to be confused with the other) Tall,  effervescent and on stage quenches the audience's thirst for "rock and roll music." 

and Bruce's  Vanilla - according to the "Joy of Baking" was once so rare, that only royalty could afford it." and vanilla is used to flavor the chocolate (Carl)(as well as the astute "red wine" quality) second most expensive flavoring, and is the most widely used in pastry making.  Every have a cake without vanilla? It is subtle, indispensable, and gets the job done.  You must be correct.

I wasn't exactly trying to be derogatory when I say Bruce's voice is like vanilla. What I mean is that it's not very special on its own, but in with everything else, like you describe, it gives it a subtle edge.

"Wrinkles" tastes like... the smell of napalm in the morning.

[filledeplage]

Pet Sounds tastes like warm summer rain during a chill winter snowfall.

Smiley Smile tastes like an everlasting gum-drop.

Wild Honey tastes like a near ice-cold beer after a hard-days work.

20-20 tastes like stale crackers with sharp-cheddar cheese whiz topping.

If you could taste the sensation of floating through a cloud, I think  Friends would taste like "cotton candy..."

20/20 has a great cover "Bluebirds" and that Otis Redding stax/volt style trumpet (brass, I guess) thing going on...(I think...)

and that great eye chart...that became very useful...

And "Do It Again, I Can Hear Music, Cotton Fields (which one of my professors used to sing to help us remember a "wills" concept) and The Nearest Faraway Place" - it was a great summer with Do It Again as a single! 

a "taste" from that Summer of might be a Cape Codder...Stoli Vodka (although it was most likely Brand X rot-gut) and Ocean Spray cranberry with lime...with Wisconsin or (New York) extra sharp cheddar and Triscuit crackers!
