The Smiley Smile Message Board

Should i put only the singles or the pet sounds material or smile sessions cuts :/ I'm confused there's so much good material idk where to start at & what to start with!!!

THE TOP 10 that i have to put on it forsure (in no particular order)

Wouldn't it be Nice
Don't Worry Baby
Sloop John B
Good Vibrations
Caroline No
Surf's Up
Do it Again
In My Room
God only Knows
California Girls

If you guys were in my position what songs would you go for ?

Ding Dang
Tree
Feet
H.E.L.P.
'Til I Die
Cuddle Up
River Song
Trader
Funky Pretty

i'm trying to get her into the beach boys not scare her away from an amazing group :) (i might have to put til i die in there though so no offense to that song)

Take a load off your feet
Shortnin' Bread (adult/child boot)
Transcendental Meditation
Cotton Fields (live at knebworth)
I Just Got My Pay
Cabinessence
Ding Dang
Cotton Fields (20/20)
Lifeboat Tape (psychedelic sounds boot)
It's Ok.

It will work like a charm.

Seriously though, just put on the All Summer Long album....Also the instrumental for California Girls.

Hey little tomboy(adult/child mix),Lazy Lizzie, when girls get together, drip drop, rollin up to heaven, battle hymn of the republic, and life is for the living.

are you guys fucking with me? lol  :lol

Don't forget 'I Wanna Pick You Up'

I'd add:

Only With You
Lady (from Summer Love Songs)
All I Wanna Do
Our Sweet Love
I Can Hear Music
Time To Get Alone
All This Is That

Heck, the whole love you album.

thanks for adding "all this is that" i forgot about that beauty..

rollin up to heaven. :hat

If you're trying to break up with her might I suggest SIP.

'All I Want To Do', make sure she listens closely to the fade.  :wink

that'll just make her kill herself  >:D

Don't forget:

Forever

AND

I'd Love Just Once to See You

I second those.

Smart Girls

If it was me, for say strictly 10 songs I'd put something like

Surfer Girl
Don't Worry Baby
I Get Around
Please Let Me Wonder
California Girls
Good Vibrations
Wouldn't It Be Nice
God Only Knows
Surf's Up (1967)
'Til I Die

hard to pick 10...although it is far easier than picking my 10 favourites...

thanks our lists are closely similar :) good taste

Looking Back With Love
On And On And On
Runnin' Around The World
Over And Over
Calender Girl
Be My Baby
One Good Reason
Teach Me Tonight
Paradise Found

Again, "rollin up to heaven" is a highly romantic song with great lyrics about loving your girl.

Well, only if your girl is, um...blessed

 :lol

blessed as being a wonderful gal. ;)

Yeah, nice save  ;D

Rockin' the Man in the Boat  :lol

If I were doing this for my girlfriend I would put songs with messages to her..love songs etc and tell her to pay attention to the lyrics because they are dedicated to her..Chicks dig that sort of thing..

Disney Girls
Feel Flows
Roller Skating Child
Busy Doin Nothin
Cabinessence

Off the top of my head. Depends on her taste, though. They've got so much diverse music. You may want to start her off on a certain era that she would like the most and pick songs from that.

These are some good romantic ones not particularly well- known:
Good To My Baby
Kiss Me Baby
That's Not Me
Don't Talk Put Your Head On My Shoulder

I'll break character and tell you to just put the entire Pet Sounds album on there.

Go for some early, well known surfing stuff and hits and then bring it slowly into the Pet Sounds/SMiLE era and go from there.

Or just a few hours of Shortnin' Bread on loop.

she's into lovey dovey songs and upbeat songs :) she loved good vibrations alot and said wouldnt it be nice is one of the "prettiest" songs she ever heard and remember it from some moive with adam sandler(idk wtf she's talking about) lol
she was into most the songs i showed her now it's time 2 creep up with the smile sessions on her asss!!!! lol

Regarding WIBN - the Adam Sandler film it's used in is '50 First Dates'.

Put on the songs that mean a lot to you.

I miss the days of mix tapes. They were so much more personal, insomuch as you were actually handing something to someone that you had spent time and thought over. Also, the nature of tapes meant you had to sit there and listen to each song as you recorded it, making for a much more unique and thoughtful experience.

My advice, buy her a cassette walkman.

Baby Blue
God Only Knows
Be With Me
Our Sweet Love
Wonderful (TSS Version)
Cuddle Up
Don't Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder)
Only With You
Tears In The Morning
etc.

Ballads that I turned the wife onto early on. If you want to play your girlfriend something that "jams" a bit more, try the 1973 In Concert album. Or go with the 2 disc Legacy Dennis Wilson POB set.

Or as a joke, play her the Looking Back With Love album.

Wouldn't It Be Nice ( Stereo)
At My Window
You're So Good To Me (warmth of the sun Stereo mix)
God Only Knows (Stereo)
You Still Believe In Me (Stereo)
Heroes And Villains (Stereo)
Good Vibrations (Stereo, find some good fan mix)
All I Wanna Do
Had To Phone Ya (seriously, this song is very easy to like)
We're Together Again (Stereo - some nice stereo boots out there!)

All I Want To Do...

My girlfriend bought Pet Sounds and 20 Golden Greats last week, and I didn't even tell her to. She was just curious about my favorite band. :)

oh alright i never seen that before :)

:brow

then I'm sure she'd like I'd Love Just Once to See You  lol

 :P

Anna Lee, The Healer
Don't Talk (Put Your Head on My Shoulder)
God Only Knows
Good Time
Good Vibrations
I Know There's an Answer
Surf's Up (SMiLE Sessions version)
You Still Believe in Me
Wonderful (SMiLE Sessions version)
Wouldn't It Be Nice

And rollin up to heaven or good time lol

How has no one suggested "All I Wanna Do" yet, for rilz?

:] exactly what i thought..i wanna slowly suck her into bb music not frighten her :/..well i already put the songs into her ipod i made a great selection

Which beach boys songs do you find frightening?

My Solution
Fig Plucker

the whole love you album except for "the night was so young"
so tough album except "all this is that"
holland
surf's up except for "til i die" & "surf's up"
15 big ones except for "just once in my life"
m.i.u album
keeping the summer alive
i can't show her smiley smile she'd freak out....even though their are some of my favorite after the smile era i can't really show her much of that because i know she wouldn't like any of it and it'll probably make her not wanna hear anything else by the beach boys again

The entirety of Holland is beautiful. ESPECIALLY Funky Pretty - it's like a trip through the universe.

Newguy, ever heard of the Lost Beach Boys album called Adult/Child?....

actually i like funky pretty,steamboat and sail on sailor :) everything else.. ???

yes i heard it that's the album with the beautiful song called "still i dream of it" right? :]
they should've released that instead of m.i.u.

MIU Album...



Just get her Pet Sounds and Sounds of Summer. That's all one really needs.

I really need Pet Sounds, Smile and Sunflower. Not Sounds of Summer.

Just listen to it sometime if you find "love you" frightening...

Not really a fan of greatest hits collections for any group. but the only BBs greatest hits collection I listen to is Endless Summer on Vinyl.

For the general public, I mean. I love Smile and Sunflower too.
