The Smiley Smile Message Board

Anybody got a funny Beach Boys lyric?

How bout "Had To Phone Ya"
"Feels so good when you come on the line" ;D

In "I'd Love Once To See You"
Brian Says "I'd Love Once To See You In The Nude"
It Was So Random and Strange lol

Vega-tables: "I love you most of all my favorite vege-table" "when you send us your letter and tell us the name of your favorite"
You still believe in me: "I wanna cry" (just comes out of nowhere)

"If Mars had life on it, I might find my wife on it…"

Love the inference that he'd bump into Marilyn on Mars.

I did like the random-ness of "i wanna cry" lol

"...in the nude".

"Let the Bees make honey
Let the poor find money"

That makes you LAUGH? You heartless gits! It's the most heartbreaking part of the song!

The chorus of Noble Surfer where Mike sings "Noble surfer" and the rest of the guys sing "Ain't joshin'" and it sounds like they were singing "No bullsh*t" is quite funny. I wonder if that was intentional.

Another hilarious  bit is the "Four Seasons you better believe it" fade out in Surfers Rule.

From memory:

"I'm in the drive way! What are you talking about lawn?"
"Hey you!"
"Hey What?"
"What are you doin?"
"Hey I saw the whole thing and you..."
"You keep out of it!"
(fight breaks out)
"Shhhsh! I think its time to meditate!"

Who's a man that we admire?
Johnny Carson is a real live wire...

 :serenade

bull session- you stepped on my french fries. :lol

"A cigarette butt when you throw it in the water goes 'phffftt'..."

"LIIIIIFE IS FOR THE LIVING - don't sit on your ass, smoking grass..."

These two literally made me laugh out loud the first time I heard them: chiefly because I couldn't believe they'd got as far as being written, recorded, mixed and mastered without somebody saying, "Er, hey Brian... you know those lines... do you think maybe they could use some more work...?"

When it comes to speed, man, i'm just outa luck
I'm even shut down by the ice cream truck

From Drive-In

'If you say you watched the movie, you're a couple of liars,
and remember, Only you can prevent forest fires
Down at the Drive-In'

Mike even sings it in an extremely deep voice, so what is its purpose?

Pretty much the whole of Love You.

But specifically all of the lyrics to Johnny Carson.

this.

Go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pul1ArXYEyA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pul1ArXYEyA)

Its a Smokey The Bear reference... which will be lost on you if you're not from the U.S. or over 30.

hey little tomboy..

C'mon and do the chicken...

Pat pat pat pat pat her on her butt butt...

The alternate "Hey Little Tomboy". I'll check her out a couple times - Ok, put on a little lipstick!

The stalker lyrics in "Lazy Lizzie".  I slow down in my car and I pull to the curb.........

Dance, Dance, Dance vocal session.  I gotta dance right on the spot - my c*ck's really hot........f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, yeah!

"You can give up everything you have, but there's one thing I want you to hold".

- All I Want To Do.

Nope, no American here..

"I threw away my candy bar and I ate the wrapper, and when they told me what I did, I burst into laughter."
"Have you seen the grand coolie workin' on the railroad?"

Stark naked in front of my mirror
A pudgy person somehow did appear
Seems lately all I've eaten is sugar and fat
It's getting obvious that's not where it's at!

Wow! I'm an American over 30 and I never got that. In fact, I never paid that close attention to the lyric.

I'm guessing it was a U.S. commercial cuz we Americans are more apt to start forest fires?  :smokin >:D :smokin

These are my top 2 choices as well...I've had several friends go into uncontrollable fits of laughter when hearing these lines...and also the ones that follow it in Everyone Wants to Live...

...but the trick, but the trick is you shouldn't laugh.
Cause if you laugh you're just a coward,
Cause if you laugh you're just a coward!   ???

hahaha

Also "Too Much Sugar"...the high vocals..."Gettin in shape is what it's all about, don't you just think it's true?" and also just the entire song in general!

I had to fix a lot of things this morning cuz they were so scrambled,
but now it's ok... i tell you i've got enough to do.


I'm fat as a cow, how'd i ever get this way?


A man needs a woman like a woman needs a man,
when the two get together uh-uh-uh-uh-huh-huh


Doughy lumps, stomach pumps, enemas too!
that's what you get when you eat that way.


I talked your folks out of making you cut off your hair


When girls get mad at boys and go,
many times they're just puttin' on a show.


If every word I said could make you laugh, I'd talk forever.


Early in the game when you broke me just like a serve (matchpoint, matchpoint)
We should've walked off the court but we both didn't have the nerve (matchpoint, matchpoint)
So we volleyed a while with small talk and a smile and as push comes to shove
I'd say this must be the matchpoint of our love


When I was younger my mother told me Jesus loved the world,
and if that's true then why hasn't he helped me to find a girl?


Now the movie's starting, oh...
the movie's startin' kind of slow but it'll get better.

In the 60s growing up I spent many a Saturday afternoon at the neighborhood movie theater. Mixed in with the coming attractions and cartoons it seems like there was always one of those Smokey Bear Ad Council ads. Ads with the Litterbug were also very common. So- that's what the reference is all about.

teh hell's this "over 30" stuff? I'm 26, I know it. I had someone else, someone who's only 17 or 18 ask me "What's up with the Smokey the bear reference?" regarding the song before. Strange that some people know it and others have never heard of such a thing, even if you'd think they'd be old enough.


Yes!

The entire Summer in Paradise album gets me rolling on the floor.

All of Brian's health songs, starting with TAke a Load off your feet and going through WAY past the Love You album were just hilarious in that I can't believe they got recorded and that he talked the other guys into singing them with a straight face. 

Or lines like "In the morrrrning, I'mmm a Mr. Businessman...."

knowing damn well "In the morrrning, I'm still in bed because I like to sleep half the day" would be more appropriate. 

Or how that turns into almost a rap in the second part of the song (games two can play).

"I was layin' in my bed... last... Night! I heard the radio, it was... out of Sight! Joe South Was Singin'... GAmes People Play.... and I like to play games that TWO can play!!!!"

-------------------------------------------------------

And this may be sacreligious, but Mike's unintended, or if it was intended, brilliant vocal in "Getcha Back" where he sounds pouty the whole song is hilarious to me.  I love that song, I mean absolutely love it but "Mayyyybeeee he treats you like a MOVIE star..." just the way he says everything sounds like he's so disgusted with that guy.  I laugh everytime I hear it. 

Another great one.  Brian singing "I Just got my Pay"... in the second chorus (I think) in the background, he says

"Lets Get Undressed... and get back in bed...."  or something like that. 

At the end of County Fair, when the girl walks off with the strong dude and calls the protagonist of the song a "Loser". It is one of my all time favorite BB moments.  :lol

Mike's "Let's find/They take the big one" etc in "South Bay Surfer"...

Yes. I enjoy the song for the same reasons.

That was a great track  ;D

Such a great ending to a great album. ;D

...Why did he sell my surfboard?
He cut off my hair in my sleep

I wish I could see outside
But he tacked up boards on my window
(Gosh it's dark)

I can't hit the surf, can't drag
Can't do a doggoned thing
(Wish I could)

I tried to call up my chick
But he jerked my phone right out of the wall

They gave me some breadcrumbs
And a little glass of water
And they're out there eating steak
(Smells so good)

I ripped up my wardrobe
And I'm growing a beard
Oh when will they let me come out

I'd listen to my radio
But he took it and he's using it in his own room
(Now it's gone)

 :lol

This breaks me up every time.
I love the Gosh it's dark

"Christmas comes this time each year"

Solar System. All of it. Coupled with the delivery, it becomes the most ridiculous song I've ever heard.

I mean:
" The constellations are stars that form animals Leo and Capricorn, too"

What, Leo the Lion and Capricorn (the... Goat fish?) don't qualify as animals?

Back Home...

...you won't believe how I've grown.

Lol

The weird "Do it!" right before Little Pad.  ;D The entire song She's Goin Bald.  :lol

"Too Much Sugar"...pretty much the whole song, but especially these parts:

Too much sugar and too much cake,
you'll end up with a belly ache.
Take that greasy steak and fries,
Slap that fat right on your thighs!

Gettin in shape is what it's all about,
Don't you just feel it's true?
Move it all around just like Jane Fonda now,
Let there be a brand new you!

...

The band should sing she's goin bald at the grammies as the ultimate head scratcher.... ;D

Not a lyric, but the guitar solo in "It's About Time" kind of makes me chortle.

It's just so out-of-place for there to be a face-melting guitar solo in a Beach Boys song. :-D

"I get a lot of farts in the morning"

Busy Doin' Nothing

"Sherry, don't hate her guts because she took me away, and maybe you'll wanna make friends with her some day".

Shame that great backing track from 1965 sat unused until 1976 to be finished with Lyrics by a very different BW.
