Title: "Just Say No"
Post by: CenturyDeprived on February 06, 2013, 01:06:06 PM
Gotta admit to digging this track as a guilty pleasure. It's certainly corny, repetitive and has bad lyrics, but it also kinda sort rocks.

Is Mike Love heard singing the title lyric? I'm virtually certain that's the Love-ster. If so, was this intended as a BB track in some capacity? Anyone know more?

And yes, bass vocal is Mike.

Thanks, AGD.
Do we know if this was a one-off experiment to have Mike guest on a Brian solo track, or something with actual BB-name-release intentions?

While I'm at it, gotta give some love for "Christmas Time". Nobody ever talks about it, but I think it rocks in a really good-Brian-80s way.

It was an EEL bright idea.
