Title: "Still Cruisin'" on The Radio! Wow!
Post by: Newguy562 on June 16, 2012, 05:37:09 PM
I was in Albertson's(market) and I heard "still cruisin'" (the song) on the radio I was shocked..I totally sung the song the whole time I was getting food :) lol ..I can't believe that song was on the radio I was so suprised because it wasn't a hit at all, was it?

I guess it's a hit technically speaking if it charts at all, right?  Wasn't it at like #96 or something...lol...clearly not a smash hit.

I heard "Slip on Through" on the radio in a store a few months ago...that's the most obscure BB tune I've heard in public for sure.

the owner of the store must be a beach boys fanatic :)

Shoot the Curl has popped up a few times and I once heard You're Welcome on a loop in an airport.

In Austria the album "Still Cruisin'" peaked at 12 and the song even at 11, so sometimes you get to hear that song now and then.

Santa Ana Winds, of all songs, is on Radio 2 all the bloody time! As is Lady Lynda. Strange, strange choices...

I know Lady Lynda is, but it was a mild hit here. Santa Ana Winds, however...

Yeh, I'm not sure that qualifies as 'the radio' though. I hear 'Your Imagination' all the time in Walgreens in San Francisco.

I heard 'My World Fell Down' by Sagittarius at a thrift shop in Portland. Though I guessed it was on an employee's iPod or something.

Having worked a couple of grocery stores, I heard my share of rare Beach Boys stuff.  Working at Kroger I swear they played every track off of Stars & Stripes at least once.  At another grocery store I worked at they occasionally played "Sail On, Sailor".
