Some time back, I plugged the vocals of God Only Knows into Microsoft Songsmith, and this is what I got:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsVZartVErc

Unless I'm mistaken or otherwise tonedeaf, the chords (at least the first four) are identical to the chords of the regular backing track. It's like Brian Wilson's songwriting aura is able to extend even into software so that it gets it right for him.

Wow! How does one spell "horrific?"

Brian got it "right" with one ear! And, without that computer program.

That was a "painful" listen.

And worse, even to see the album image simultaneously. 

Dissonance.  And not "cognitive dissonance" either.  Roll Eyes

I heard this one a while back and saved an MP3 of it because I kind of dug the weird Goth Club vibe on it. Totally different, but it sort of works in a weird way.

If you squint your eyes at the beginning, that guy with the beard and red bathrobe-looking jacket looks kind of like Brian in the Belushi surfing skit. All similarities in appearance are forgotten as soon as he opens his mouth.

Perhaps not...maybe my senses are numb from that guy's singing.

Someone should load the Black Eyed Peas Super Bowl show into that Microsoft contraption and see what comes out. Grin

God must’ve smiled the day Brian Wilson was born!

"ragegasm" - /rāj • ga-zəm/ : a logical mental response produced when your favorite band becomes remotely associated with the bro-country genre.

Ever want to hear some Beach Boys songs mashed up together like The Beatles' 'LOVE' album? Check out my mix!

Rule of thumb, think BEFORE you post. And THINK how it may affect someone else's feelings.

Check out the Beach Boys Starline website, the place for pictures of many countries Beach Boys releases on 45.

Listening to you I get the music; Gazing at you I get the heat; Following you I climb the mountain; I get excitement at your feet
Right behind you I see the millions; On you I see the glory; From you I get opinions; From you I get the story
