Title: Has "Ronda" vs "Rhonda" ever been explained? Post by: Foster's Freeze on April 02, 2014, 07:11:38 AM O.k., I've been on the BB wagon for nearly 40 years and maybe this has been explained multiple times but I can't recall.
Has the spelling differences (Ronda vs Rhonda) ever been explained? Sounds like a court case. :afro Title: Re: Has \ Post by: Mike's Beard on April 02, 2014, 07:49:29 AM Mike changed the spelling of the name. Co-credit please!
Title: Re: Has \ Post by: Niko on April 02, 2014, 07:52:10 AM The version with the changed name did become a hit after all :)
Title: Re: Has \ Post by: Mikie on April 02, 2014, 08:16:37 AM Spelling of the name changed to differentiate between the album version and the single version. Two different versions of the same song/subject matter.

Two different versions of the same song/subject matter. Yes, we know. But it's not exactly a common practice, so why do it for this song? Title: Re: Has \ Post by: The Shift on April 02, 2014, 09:02:21 AM Not the only example of a name change in Beachboydom - "Cabin Essence" = "Cabinessence", "Vegtables" = "Vega-tables" = "Vegetables". "Heros & Villians" = "Heroes & Villains"…
Could be down to something as simple as an engineer's (or a Beach Boy's, or a Beach Boy's sister-in-law) mis-spelling on a tape box… Title: Re: Has \ Post by: Mikie on April 02, 2014, 09:21:39 AM Spelling of the name changed to differentiate between the album version and the single version.

You're assuming everybody on the board knows, including the OP. Speak for yourself. You got a better answer?

Title: Re: Has \ Post by: Mikie on April 02, 2014, 10:07:41 AM "Yes, we know". That's a sarcastic know-it-all response to my reply to the thread's premise. Again, with that statement, you're assuming everybody on the board already knows. Maybe a common sense answer is all that's needed here. Maybe someone with inside knowledge will come along and provide a much better answer. All you came up with is "it wasn't common practice". Well, no sh*t?

I don't think OP wouldve started the thread had they not already been aware of the difference. And you're one to talk about not contributing to discussions. It seems anything I say or post is wrong as far as you're concerned so... Title: Re: Has \ Post by: Freddie French-Pounce on April 02, 2014, 05:24:21 PM Cotton Fields, Cottonfields. It's just a case of having the single version and album version being subtly different
Title: Re: Has \ Post by: Mikie on April 02, 2014, 06:39:22 PM Yep. Another case in point. Dunno about 'subtle' differences between the songs, but another example to differentiate the two. Though I've seen the title Cottonfields/Cotton Fields reversed (or misprinted) on various single and album releases over the years.
Title: Re: Has \ Post by: Ram4 on April 02, 2014, 09:51:41 PM My cousin's name is Rhonda. Never knew anyone even spelled it without the h. :o
Title: Re: Has \ Post by: Rocky Raccoon on April 02, 2014, 10:16:14 PM Yeah, I've always thought "Ronda" was a misspelling in the first place because nobody spells it like that.
Title: Re: Has \ Post by: Micha on April 03, 2014, 09:12:19 AM Cotton Fields, Cottonfields. It's just a case of having the single version and album version being subtly different Yeah, just like "Be True To Your School" and "Be True To Your School". Ummm, wait... er... Title: Re: Has \ Post by: Lowbacca on April 03, 2014, 09:18:19 AM It's like "Good Only Knows" and "God Vibrations".
Title: Re: Has \ Post by: Mikie on April 03, 2014, 10:19:55 AM It's like "Good Only Knows" and "God Vibrations". Exactly. Same concept. Title: Re: Has \ Post by: Mikie on April 03, 2014, 10:23:02 AM My cousin's name is Rhonda. Never knew anyone even spelled it without the h. :o I knew a girl named 'Ronda' back in Jr. High. Her Dad (named Ron) wanted a boy and was going to call him Ronald Jr. Instead he got a girl and named her 'Ronda'. I kid you not!

Surprised the fathder didn't name her RonDuh Title: Re: Has \ Post by: dogear on April 03, 2014, 11:36:10 AM On the japanese 45 they called her "Rohnda"
Title: Re: Has \ Post by: Smilin Ed H on April 03, 2014, 11:56:12 AM I knew a girl called Rhonda once; no wait, it was twice!
Title: Re: Has \ Post by: joshferrell on April 03, 2014, 12:00:53 PM well at least it wasn't "Help me Honda"....
