For Melinda, you can add Foever She'll Be My Surfer Girl (it's not where Scott took the lyric, but it's what BW intended) and an unreleased tune from Imagination called Melinda, Honey.

Muse: smart girls.
Output: "Smart Girls".

Muse: the universe.
Output: from a certain philosophical perspective anything he's ever done. more palpable: "Solar System".  :)


Smart girls and the universe.. all the muses you need.

Actually, Good Vibrations was inspired by Loren Daro's wife.   :o

Not to mention "I Just Wasn't Made for These Times" being about Loren Daro Schwartz's struggle as a creatively unfulfilled member of the office staff of the William Morris Agency.
