Title: BB Songs that refernce past BB songs lyrically Post by: joe_blow on September 09, 2013, 11:09:23 PM I have been thinking of this for a while but haven't posted this....maybe there is a thread on this somewhere? Is there a kist of songs by the Beach Boys of all their own songs they reference. I started thinking this while considering how many songs after the original that Mike has sung "fun fun fun".
Anywho just off the top I have come up with Brian's Back Beaches In Mind Summer In Paradise It's A Beautiful Day Do It Again Santa Goes To Kokomo (Mike solo) Spring Vacation Still Surfin' Endless Harmony Your Imagination (Brian Solo) Summer Of Love Kona Coast I am sure there are many others?

"Oh Darlin'"... with the "God Only Knows" direct lyric sung by Bruce. "Some of Your Love"... with the "Kiss Me Baby" lyric. (man - 2 songs in a row on 1 album that do this. Not cool.)

Title: Re: BB Songs that refernce past BB songs lyrically Post by: CenturyDeprived on September 10, 2013, 01:08:31 AM kiss me babe is a standard phrase. I agree. But in the context of the song, which is already recycling the musical riff from Be True to Your School, it seems like it was an intentional lyrical tip of the hat to KMB too... IMHO.

Still Cruisin' Camp California Paradise Found (Though I don't mind this one) Almost Summer California Calling (Al to blame here) Forever My Surfer Girl (Brian) Title: Re: BB Songs that refernce past BB songs lyrically Post by: RangeRoverA1 on September 10, 2013, 08:30:40 AM I remembered these ones, though suspect some of them aren't accurate: Strange World (last stanza), Break Away (tag), Waves of Love (1st verse), TWGMTR, Stevie.

But in the context of the song, which is already recycling the musical riff from Be True to Your School, it seems like it was an intentional lyrical tip of the hat to KMB too... IMHO. "Some Of Your Love" was originally "Mike Come Back To LA", which in turn was based on the "ding-dong-ding go the bells" riff from "Child Of Winter"..

Title: Re: BB Songs that refernce past BB songs lyrically Post by: Freddie French-Pounce on September 10, 2013, 11:20:11 AM Surfin' U.S.A. mentions surfing, which was mentioned in Surfin' Safari, which was mentioned in Surfin'... Which in turn was mentioned in Surfer Girl, Surfer's Rule, all the way up to Still Surfin' and beyond! Title: Re: BB Songs that refernce past BB songs lyrically Post by: joe_blow on September 10, 2013, 11:32:19 AM So would it be 5 songs that "Fun Fun Fun is used?
Fun Fun Fun Beaches In Mind Brian's Back It's a Beautiful Day Summer in Paradise....any others?

Not only does "Surfin' U.S.A." mention surfing, but it also contains the line "we're on safari to stay"; presumably a surfing safari, or else the lyric would make no sense in context. |
