Title: "Teardrops On My Bed” (aka “Drip Drop”)
Post by: Mikie on July 24, 2010, 01:34:46 PM
Today I heard “Teardrops On My Bed” for the first time, which was supposedly recorded on Oct. 19, 1978 during the L.A. Light album sessions. The track sounds like it’s in demo form, and I’ve never seen it booted on any Beach Boys/Brian comp before. It sounds like Brian’s kinda going off the deep end, but he's really into it and having a good time here. The guy can really belt out a tune, eh? Has anybody else here heard it?

Ready to snort a couple more hog rails, Bri?    “C’mon, let’s go, Mofo’s!!”

4 words; garbage bags of blow. That's what BW must've been doing to get that, er, excited over this lame-o rocker. Still, it is AWESOME.

he does sound positively insane on this. and its crazy to think he  sounded how he did in like 1970 compared to this. Chapel of Love sounds glorious compared to this. I'm still awaiting the Lucy Jones voice to add to this list of odd voices Brian throws out there.

Hahahahaha

This is precisely why I love Brian Wilson. He is capable of stuff like Pet Sounds but is also... this kind of stuff!

edit: I wish the instruments were a little more rockin' and faster to match his excitement though, hooboy!

It looks like this comes from a CD called "75 Sessions," does anyone have a tracklisting for it?


Title: Re: \
Post by: Andrew G. Doe on July 25, 2010, 08:02:39 AM
Nope, but whomever titled that CD is no BB fan.


Title: Re: \
Post by: Mikie on July 25, 2010, 08:14:55 AM
It's logical that the guy who titled this song guessed that it was from a session in 1975 (there weren't many) or it's "Number 75" in a comp of Beach Boys/Brian session tracks. Nonetheless, it's either a standalone track floated out in the breeze or from a home-brew compilation compiled by a bootlegger/fan.

What a song! As basic as it is, it feels like I'm getting an undiluted BW experience. I would love an album of songs like this.

Anyone have a clue as to musician credits? AGD's Bellagio site says Oct 1978, so LA sessions? There are a few musicians credited on the album, but does anyone know for sure? Is that BW on keyboards?

Strong similarities to Clangin', to my ears.

I have the version on a 45rpm EP by Rocky Sharp and the Razors (70s UK doowop group) which is, aesthetically speaking, infinitely more pleasing.

Give it a blast:

I've been PM'ed by a few folk about that, and now I'm struggling to locate it in my collection though I can hear it in my head! Darn sure it's in there somewhere... maybe under a different name -  any other silver disc collectors help out here with the title? (Note to self: must organise/catalogue collection sometime....)

Possibly you're recalling that parts of "Bells Of Madness" sound something like "Clang".

Allegedly.  ::)

BTW, "Clangin'" is a different song entirely, derived from the Pied Piper fragment. "Clang", of course, belatedly saw the (re-recorded) light of day on TLOS.

Ah... I have it - track 13 on Disc Two of From the Vaults (Audition label). And everyone's right - the track I'm thinking of ain't Clangin', it's called Rollin' Up to Heaven. Big similarities with chunks of the Teardrops/Drip Drop backing track to my ears.  Suspect this might also be known as Hard Times.  If anyone has this, and can decipher ALL the vocal lines, I'd be gobsmacked!

Ok, let's recap. There's "Brian's Song", "Rollin' Up To Heaven/Hard Time",  and another totally different song called "Hard Times". Then there is a song called "Drip Drop" that's supposedly another early version of "Ding Dang"(I think?), as well as another song called "Drip Drop" that is a Dion cover and has nothing to do with "Ding Dang". Then there was Clangin', which I've heard was another early version of "Ding Dang", and finally the proper version of "Ding Dang" from the Love You album. Then there is "Clang", which apperantly has nothing to do with any of the songs just discussed. I'm surprised that Andrew can remember this stuff. I would have given up long ago, and had myself comitted.  ;D

I don't blame Brian at all for continually revisiting the "Ding Dang" (and variations) fragments to re-make into new compositions. They're totally awesome... "Rollin' Up to Heaven" should've been on Love You!

I think it actually goes like this, first there was "Ding Dang" recorded in '73, lyrics with Roger (Jim) McGuinn, this is the version on Love You.

Then we got "Brian's Tune" which most people know as "Rollin' Up To Heaven" (don't know where it got that name). That is the "hard time" song, not to be confused with Blondie/Ricky's song "Hard Times".

AGD already commented on "Drip Drop". Theres just one of those.

Then there is "Clangin" which is talked about in a 1976 article, maybe Rolling Stone. That has the "mow-mama-yama" deal in it.  Which is used in "Morning Beat". And theres apparently a part of "Clangin" in "Bells of Madness" which I think is recorded with Carnie and Wendy.

"Clang", I have no idea. I think that might just be "Clangin'", but maybe I'm wrong.

"Clang" and "Clangin'" are two entirely different tracks: one is based on the "Pied Piper" riff, the other is the "mow-mama-yama" chant.

I would have given up long ago, and had myself comitted.  ;D

I think it actually goes like this, first there was "Ding Dang" recorded in '73, lyrics with Roger (Jim) McGuinn, this is the version on Love You.

Then we got "Brian's Tune" which most people know as "Rollin' Up To Heaven" (don't know where it got that name). That is the "hard time" song, not to be confused with Blondie/Ricky's song "Hard Times".

AGD already commented on "Drip Drop". Theres just one of those.

Then there is "Clangin" which is talked about in a 1976 article, maybe Rolling Stone. That has the "mow-mama-yama" deal in it.  Which is used in "Morning Beat". And theres apparently a part of "Clangin" in "Bells of Madness" which I think is recorded with Carnie and Wendy.

"Clang", I have no idea. I think that might just be "Clangin'", but maybe I'm wrong.

"Clang" and "Clangin'" are two entirely different tracks: one is based on the "Pied Piper" riff, the other is the "mow-mama-yama" chant.

Actually, it's "Clang" that has the "Mow-mama-yama" bit, as described in the 1976 Rolling Stone cover story on Brian (not "Clangin'").  The group sings it during a press conference, and when asked what it's called, Brian replies "'Clang'".

Getting back to the subject of this thread for a minute, the AFM contract for the "Drip Drop" basic track session is interesting:  the artist is listed as "The Beach Boys (BW)", it was paid for by "CBS (Caribou)" and signed for by Bruce Johnston...all of which indicates it was clearly intended for the "Light Album", rather than some other Brian-produced artist or project.  The players were Scott Grusin (guitars, including one double), Earl Palmer (drums), and Ray Pohlman (bass).  It was recorded at Western with Chuck engineering.

If they would've included Brian's version of "Drip Drop" and the remade version of Dennis' "Time For Bed" *, it could have been a VERY different album than what it was!

* - "Time For Bed" was recut, especially for "L.A. Light", in a session at Cherokee Studios:  co-produced by Bruce & Guercio, with Chuck engineering, Russ Kunkel on drums, Phil Shenale on tack piano, Billy Joe Walker Jr. on slide guitar, Carl on guitar & bass, and presumably Dennis on piano.

You need to add "Clang" to the unreleased songs section. I also see you have a Wilson/Sandler session listed in '73 for "Baby I Need Your Lovin'"/"I'm A Man", but I'm pretty sure its actually "Baby I Need Your Lovin'"/"Gimme Some Lovin'". Although you also have a session listed for Wilson/Sandler doing "Gimme Some Lovin'" in '72 too. I don't know if they worked on it twice, or if I'm mixed up. Just trying to help ya.

It feels like full-on, unbridled and unrefined late 70s Brian in a way that no other recording that we've heard really has. That's one of the things I like about it, I suppose. Still, it's probably not for everyone.

We actually do but if we were to try and enforce that policy we'd be accused of being too rough on you poor, unfortunate souls. But at the same time, we can't tell members what to do off of the forum. What you do in PMs is your own business. I don't care if you trade porn in your PMs. As long as it's off the board, there's nothing that can be done.

Regarding Drip Drop, after about the third or fourth time listening to it, it kind of seems a bit "meh". I think that the legend of it was a little more interesting. I had read that it was "Brian screaming at the top of his lungs, shouting motherf*cker about 15 times". Not quite.  ;D

C'mon d00d. He loses his fuckin' mind in there near the end. He just gets more and more carried away as the track carries on. Imagine seeing that in person.

"Rollin' Up To Heaven" indeed evolved into "Ding Dang".

I've never really seen the connection between Rollin' Up To Heaven and Ding Dang. RUTH is more of a dirty jam roughly based on the chorus of "Alley Oop".

I hear a slight similarity to "Alley Oop". However, I think some legit connection between "Heaven" and "Ding Dang" has been confirmed by someone or other.

If not, then they're awfully similar. But then they're also a bit like "Shortenin' Bread" and the "maumamayama glory hallelujah" chant which was said to originate in this era.

It's hard to kind of pinpoint a definitive link between RUTH, Clangin'(or is it Clang?) and Ding Dang, because even the Love You version of Ding Dang is a fairly generic sounding boogie woogie.

True, but the overlapping vocals on "Ding Dang" or "Rollin' Up To Heaven" are ridiculously impressive imo. Kinda puts an almost hypnotic quality of sorts on them.

This would have been 96'ish? anyhow I've been around a long time and have never heard this even described, much less heard-heard it..  :'(

Agreed. It's the last of the old blend before the vocals went down.

This track is just gonzo brilliant. When listening to it, I don't know whether to feel how sad it is to hear the man in such a state, or just get into the feel of it, cos man it's a pretty soulful performance in its own demented way. As BW survived it all, I kind of lean toward the latter.

It's certainly funny if you listen to something like Caroline No, then follow it with this  :o. It certainly helps demonstrate Brian's, er, range as a performer.

Let's go, m-... !  ;D

I'd never heard of this until just now. Surely it's a case of Brian being terrible on purpose, by way of announcing he's is no state to take on production responsibilities as required by the CBS contract. Which reminds me of something I've often wondered about. Does anybody know what was on the demo tape which caused Walter Yetnikoff to say "gentlemen, I think I have been f**ked"?


Title: Re: \
Post by: lance on May 27, 2012, 11:02:10 AM
I like it. I think it's just Brian cutting loose in the studio and not meant to be a 'serious' track. I think as an outtake or 'bonus track' it's cool. It's not some brilliant piece but it was never meant to be.


Title: Re: \
Post by: runnersdialzero on May 27, 2012, 11:47:05 AM
It's clear Brian is trying to make the track fun or a bit loose, but there's no way he's being deliberately "terrible", nor do I think at the time it was intended to stay unreleased or anything of the sort. Can't imagine the guys recording anything without intent.

First time I heard this track it blew me away (and not in a good way)!  Out-of-control Brian...but strangely when I play it for people we end up laughing so hard we have tears in our eyes!  I cannot even imagine how much cocaine was ingested before this song was laid down.  If you have not heard it...find it and listen.  You owe it to yourself!


Title: Re: \
Post by: Jason on July 11, 2012, 11:19:40 AM
The only way I see this track ever being released is if the "let's go motherfucker" vocal is omitted. But still...it's a lot of fun. Brian certainly sounds enthused singing it.

You just never know what was up with BW.  He sounds whacked out of his skull.  It's both humorous...but deeply disturbing.  What is sad is that this was a man who clearly needed mental help...but was not getting it (or not getting what he needed).  I've struggled with my own battle with mental illness for many years (different from Brian's, but disabilitating in it's own way) and it's amazing what the right kind of help can accomplish.  For whatever reason...he simply did not receive the care he needed...and now who knows what kind of damage has been done.  It's such a shame.

Actually I'm pretty sure he said something if this nature after the group (including Brian) presented him recordings of "California Feelin'", "Brian's Back", "Calendar Girl", "Baby Blue", "Looking Down The Coast/Monterrey" and "Santa Ana Winds".* Honestly not a horrible set of songs. Definitely not their best, but "Baby Blue" is a classic and the 1978 "California Feelin'", while plodding, is a decent attempt at recording a good song. Apparently Brian's original "Calendar Girl" was quite original and interesting, too. As far as Al's songs, well...they're alright. And "Brian's Back" was schlocky, but Mike Love has done much worse.

So while I can see where the dude was coming from, if he was in tune with The Beach Boys as they currently were, I don't see why he would be so surprised. However, if he was expecting "I Get Around" or "California Girls" or Pet Sounds, I can see why he was so perturbed.
