Title: Alternate Track Listing Post by: Surfer on September 11, 2013, 07:34:55 PM What would Surfin Safari Album had an Alternate Track Listing! What would your track listing be for the Surfin Safari Album
Title: Re: Alternate Track Listing Post by: Mikie on September 11, 2013, 07:45:51 PM I dunno, what would yours be, Surfer?
Title: Re: Alternate Track Listing Post by: Ninten on September 11, 2013, 08:19:51 PM Do you mean with different songs? If so, can we include those songs with Brian on them that aren't really Beach Boys songs (The Kenny and the Cadets ones)? Cuz then it'd be something like:
Surfin Safari County Fair Little Girl Chug-A-Lug Barbie 409 Surfin' Luau Heads I Win Tails You Lose Cindy, Oh Cindy Cuckoo Clock Land Ahoy Title: Re: Alternate Track Listing Post by: Surfer on September 11, 2013, 08:47:41 PM Mine would be this
Surfin Surfin USA Surfin Safari Surf Jam Noble Surfer Surfer Girl Surfer's Rule South Bay Surfer Rocking Surfer Catch A Wave Still Surfin Don't Back Down Title: Re: Alternate Track Listing Post by: Mikie on September 11, 2013, 09:13:11 PM So.....the premise of this thread is "alternate track listing for the Surfin' Safari album", right? So since this album we're talking about was released in early October, 1962, wouldn't the alternate track listing be for songs recorded up to the point of the album release (pre-October '62)? That's what an alternate track listing means to me - songs that were already recorded that were possible candidates for inclusion on the album (or outtakes) instead of the released ones.
Surfer, you listed songs released in 1963 and 1964 that weren't even written yet. So how could they have been "alternate tracks" for an album released in 1962?

Title: Re: Alternate Track Listing Post by: ontor pertawst on September 11, 2013, 09:23:21 PM Besides, he should have included Surfin' Bird.
Title: Re: Alternate Track Listing Post by: Surfer on September 11, 2013, 09:24:29 PM How about this if those songs were written in 62 those songs should have been on the Album. The Songs that are on the album is about

Wasn't that on the Summer In Paradise album, released in 1992? Can't see that as being an alternate song for the Surfin' Safari album...... Title: Re: Alternate Track Listing Post by: ontor pertawst on September 11, 2013, 09:26:13 PM Quote The Songs that are on the album is about You really should've contributed liner notes for the boxed set. I want more album track listings annotated this way. Sometimes I'm not sure what these early songs are actually about and you just cut to the chase. "Song about Indians." Ahhhh. yes. Please do the other albums this way. Title: Re: Alternate Track Listing Post by: alf wiedersehen on September 11, 2013, 09:32:21 PM 3. "Ten Little Indians" Song about Indians Genius.

He's totally full of sh*t and is just trolling. I have no problem with people who like to become more knowledgeable about The Beach Boys. We all had to start somewhere. But this guy is obviously just taking the piss. Title: Re: Alternate Track Listing Post by: bluesno1fann on September 11, 2013, 10:22:42 PM I'd get rid of "409" and replace it with "Luau".
Reason being "409" would appear on "Little Deuce Coupe" anyway.

Do your homework, Surfer - Boner points if you know who those guys are/were. P.S. Mike wasn't included in the lyics. His name coulda replaced 'Guy's'. Mike and Guy kinda sound the same..... Title: Re: Alternate Track Listing Post by: SMiLE Brian on September 12, 2013, 11:41:20 AM Mikie, can I borrow your "troll-be-gone" spray?

Actually, I'm just trying to salvage the thread and helping to make it a learning experience for the young man.

Title: Re: Alternate Track Listing Post by: Jesse Reiswig on September 19, 2013, 02:07:06 PM Gary, Larry, Louie, and Guy aren't Beach Boys. Gary=Gary Usher Larry=Larry Ferrari Louie=Louie Marotta If you're interested in seeing the original thread discussing this, Surfer, it's here: http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,13564.0.html Did we ever figure out who Guy is though? Title: Re: Alternate Track Listing Post by: pixletwin on September 19, 2013, 02:08:37 PM Aw. I always assumed Louie was Brian's dog. :'(
Title: Re: Alternate Track Listing Post by: Mikie on September 19, 2013, 02:53:42 PM Nah, Louie was Louie Marotta, who was a neighbor of the Wilson's and Mark's. Lived in the same neighborhood all those years and passed away a couple of years before the Beach Boys Hawthorne Monument Dedication Ceremony. David recounted stories about sitting on the curb and lighting farts with Louie and I think didn't Dennis, after fighting with Murry, sleep in the back of Louie's Dad's car and take it for a spin one night? I forget that story.
"Guy" had might as well have been Mike. Guess it was just made up. Aquaintance of the Wilson's: "DENNIS WILSON TRADED HIS 63 STINGRAY FOR A 64 JAG COSTING $7400. HE GOT $1600 TRADE-IN FOR HIS 63 STINGRAY. DAVID MARKS HAD A MGC, I THINK IT WAS A 6 BANGER. HE BLEW THE ENGINE ON EL SEGUNDO BLVD. LOUIE MAROTTA AND I TOWED IT TO LOUIE'S HOUSE. LOUIE BOUGHT IT FOR $105 AND RESTORED IT". From an ex Hawthorne cop: I stopped a vehicle one night for making an unsafe lane change just north of 136th St. on the Blvd. The driver got out of the vehicle, came back & was very nice, I had his license & was about ready to advise him & kick him loose. About this time an older male got out of the passenger side & started to chew me out, saying "Don't you know who we are!!" ETC, ETC. The driver kept trying to get him to shut up, anyway, the driver got a ticket. Afterwards, I found out it was one of the Wilson boys (Beach Boys) & the Running of the Lips was his dad!" Title: Re: Alternate Track Listing Post by: Jesse Reiswig on September 19, 2013, 04:46:46 PM "Guy" had might as well have been Mike. Guess it was just made up. Doesn't make sense that "Mike" would be in the song, 'cause Mike was singin'! That, I think is the explanation as to why Mike isn't included in the name checks. He's the narrator, talking about everyone else. The song was written for Mike to sing. Title: Re: Alternate Track Listing Post by: LeeDempsey on September 19, 2013, 06:24:46 PM I always interpreted the "Guy's" in "Chug-a-Lug" as "Guys," as in collective bunch of guys - not a single person named "Guy."
BTW I own Louie Marotta's 1959 Hawthorne High "El Molino" yearbook with Brian and Al's senior pics. And it's signed by Dennis... Lee Title: Re: Alternate Track Listing Post by: joshferrell on September 19, 2013, 07:01:44 PM There is a "Surfin USSR."

Who'da thunk.Title: Re: Alternate Track Listing Post by: Heysaboda on September 20, 2013, 09:43:36 AM It’s funny but to me the album Surfin’ Safari is very, very slight, and contains little of the genius-level type music that the Boys would later produce.
