Title: "Somewhere Near Japan" and "Kokomo" oringinal versions Post by: grapejuicesnake on December 10, 2016, 10:57:19 AM Both of those songs were written by John Phillips. I found his original versions of the songs. In my opinion they are both better then the Beach Boys versions.

"Somewhere Near Japan" original https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7AvvEDsakI "Kokomo" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAuqngA9CuM Agreed. Just more scathing evidence of what happens to a song when myKe luHv gets involved.

Actually I like the Beach Boys versions better too,,,,although his version of Kokomo is kind of cool,,,,IMO SNJ isn't even close,,,Title: Re: \ Post by: tpesky on December 10, 2016, 07:24:01 PM The BB SNJ is much better. Love their vocals.
I like the lyrics better on the original Kokomo. They have more meaning than the BB version. Totally different vibe to the song. Title: Re: \ Post by: The_Beach on December 11, 2016, 01:06:13 PM Disagree! BB did great and in my opinion are the better version!
