Title: Re: Performing 'Good Vibrations' w/ Original Lyrics Post by: 37!ws on August 23, 2011, 02:02:49 PM Asher wrote the verses, Mike wrote the other words ("I don't know whether she's ten feet ten," "Gotta keep those hummingbird vibrations happenin' with he," etc.).
Title: Re: Performing 'Good Vibrations' w/ Original Lyrics Post by: Roger Ryan on August 23, 2011, 02:03:41 PM Just to clarify, the BWPS version of "Good Vibrations" is credited to "Wilson, Asher, Love".
I figure it was decided it would be nice to include the alternate set of lyrics as a way to present the song in a new context so that version could be associated with BWPS as a whole.

Just sounds to me like the "Asher" verses were just placeholder lyrics that never got polished up...

And that's the only way that sax would work too.

Just sounds to me like the "Asher" verses were just placeholder lyrics that never got polished up... From what I've read, that's exactly what they were, although Brian today clearly doesn't share that opinion - in a interview with David Leaf in 2005, he said something to the effect of them being better lyrics than the original. Of course, in the same interview he said the same thing about his current band over the Beach Boys. Roger is right though, the only logical explanation is that they wanted something to distinguish the new recording from the old one, transforming it from a huge hit single to the coda of an entirely new work. Trying to screw Mike makes no sense - if that was the intent, somebody sure botched it! |
