Title: If Songs Came Out In a Different Time
Post by: TimeToGetAlone on February 06, 2014, 08:37:17 PM
This is one thing I've always imagined.  Certain songs, while possibly good or even perfect for its respective wra, have a what could have been feel to it had it been recorded in a different period.  Now I'm of the opinion that just about anything would sound great in a Pet Sounds sheen, but certain songs just seem like they would have been divine in another period and I can almost imagine.

A few that come to mind that I would have loved to hear...

Let's Put Our Hearts Together circa Pet Sounds
You're Still A Mystery circa Today!
Goin' On circa Sunflower
I Know There's An Answer circa Love You
She's Got Rhythm circa Surfer Girl

Imagine POB coming out in around 1971, with Dennis vocals from that era.
I wonder what people would think of it?

Had the BBs opened their Monterey festival gig with "All I Want To Do", they'd have been a smash. How dumb of Dennis to have written it more than a year later.

An earlier "Crack At Your Love" with - first and foremost - a whole different production style would have killed. I guess. I don't know. Cool tune, nevertheless.

I imagine that would be the case with a number of 80's tracks.  At the very least I can imagine it done in a Love You-style with the bleeting synths.

"All I Wanna Do", the same one as heard on Sunflower except released on The Beach Boys.

Before I read your reply, I was actually imagining something more in the production style of Matchpoint of Our Love.

I can imagine that a bit as well.  I find the production of a song has a huge impact so a lot of later tracks would greatly benefit in these hypothetical circumstance.

She's Got Rhythm circa Surfer Girl

I can definitely imagine she's got rhythm as a mid-tempo ballad.

Let Him Run Wild with Brian's Love You Era vocals would be very good.
I can imagine the farty synths during the verse and more wobbly sounding ones during the chorus with the horns.

Girl Don't Tell Me would translate great with 20/20 Carl vocals

Hushabye with Al singing Mike's lead circa M.I.U. (totally hearing Lady Lynda)

Kona Coast to be be released in '63 on Surfer Girl

Slip On Through with Blondie in '72

All I Wanna Do around Smiley Smile era so it would be a little more experimental.



That's all I got for now
