Title: Pet Lounge

I put together a compilation of my favourite covers of Pet Sounds songs that were made in the 60s:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWQdnJZeLEk

1. Wouldn't It Be Nice - The Hollyridge Strings
2. You Still Believe In Me - The Buffoons
3. Don't Talk - Carmen McRae
4. I'm Waiting For The Day - Mark Wirtz (feat. Peanut)
5. Jag Hade En Gång En Båt - Cornelis Vreeswijk & Ann-Louise Hanson
6. God Only Knows - Brenda & The Tabulations
7. Here Today - Bobby Vee
8. I Just Wasn't Made For These Times - Carmen McRae
9. Caroline No - Hollyridge Strings
10. Good Vibrations - Hugo Montenegro

I tacked on Good Vibrations because it needed lengthening (and also it fit the easy listening vibe).

Thanks to all those that contributed to the recent thread on PS covers:

I'd not heard many of these and some of them are fantastic. Aplogies if yours isn't included in the comp.

Special thanks to Guitarfool for all the help!

Just tuned in now… first two tracks really enjoyable and highly interesting. So cool to have a collection of what are effectively contemporary covers… Can't wait for a CD!  :D

Thanks John!

Yeah I think most of these were probably recorded in 67 so there's a real unity to the songs. There's a definite easy listening vibe to many, but obviously not all, of them. Just a shame they weren't all covered at the time.

I vote for a one week ban for Buddahat for  posting this in a thread where it doesn't belong....

Hey thanks!

I've added a tracklist in the OP for anyone wondering what certain tracks are.

I vote for a one week ban for Buddahat for  posting this in a thread where it doesn't belong....

Apologies if this thread flounts board rules. I figured it's such a low quality rip that anyone wating the actual tracks for themselves will find a better source than my YT video.

Actually I like this thread and propose instead that Buddhahat's stay here be extended by a week.

Any BB project that manages to include a track produced by the mad genius that is Mark Wirtz is just dandy by me.  ;D

Good Job!  Your first post on YouTube.  Love The Hollyridge Strings, they were very popular back in the day.  I didn't have the song list in front of me while listening, was that really Bobby Vee on "Here Today?"  Pretty cool for Bobby.  Brenda and the Tabulations and Mark Wirtz/Peanut were both standouts.  
.
Thanks for posting.  And yeah, that cover is cool!

In honour of the 50th anniversary, I thought I'd re-upload this compilation of loungey Pet Sounds covers. Enjoy!

I prefer Louis Phillipe and Dean Broderick's cover of " I Just Wasn't Made For These Times", so I'll throw it out here.
