The Smiley Smile Message Board

2 NEW ballgames completely. Here's an OLD ode - just to get us started and rolling:

'NOT ONO'                             (REcycled haiku'drome by CD/RS)

SMiLE mono mixes
a.k.a. sex I'm on - O'!
M(e)L: "I'm SO NOT on..."

Wouldn't it be nice
We'll run away Caroline,
no, let the wind blow

Good call, rasmus. These are some of mine salvaged from the now-defunct Capital Board:


Carl the diplomat,
He of the angelic voice
On "God Only Knows"

Leaving his drum kit,
Dennis came down amidst screams
For "The Wanderer"

Al's moment suprème?
"California Saga:
California"

The classic Beach Boys
Bri, Carl, Dennis, Al and Mike
Sun-drenched harmonies

For its first airing
Smile would have to wait a while
Thirty-seven years

Wouldn't it be nice
To go away for awhile
On the Sloop John B

Murry told Brian
In one of his many moods
I'm a genius too

Fresh vega-tables
At the Radiant Radish
Bri on a health kick

Bruce debuts onstage
In pants three sizes too small
Al had a spare set

Was "Good Vibrations"
Offered to Wilson Pickett?
Not to my knowledge

"It weren't me", says Mike,
"Capitol resisted change.
I'm just the scapegoat!"

Surfer Girl's lineup:
Bri, Carl, Dave, Al, Denny, Mike,
Maureen and the "Crew"!


And this triptych:

"Hey Chuck, how about
If we brought a horse in here?"
Chuck: "Beg pardon, Bri?"

"It's for a picture
In front of the microphone
The horse is quite tame"

"Bri, my horse would be
So bitchin' in here", says Carl
Chuck: "Bring his trainer"


If you're interested I have a tanka (5-7-5-7-7) and a sonnet lined up. :=)

There once was a band from L.A.
Whose music still resonates today
Though they bickered and fought
Some still live, so you ought
Shut the f*** up and go watch 'em play

The drummer named Dennis looked good,
His name for his schlong was "the wood",
Got shots penicillin
Cuz he always was willin'
To f*** way more girls than he should!

There once was a great group from Hawthorne.
Thanks to them, California's myth...it was born.
Surf, sand, sun and those GREAT songs,
The 'Rights' outweighed all of their 'Wrongs'.
And the crow still cries something 'bout corn.


Damn crows are such a nuisance!!!   :angry

chocolate shake man
found himself another band
more Barbara Ann

Brian Wilson's head
is so full of hairs and songs
Cousin Mike's lacks those

Here are a few more haiku on the surname Wilson:


Jackie Wilson said
I'm in heaven when you smile
Let it all hang out

Harold Wilson said
The pound in your pocket has
Not been devalued

Dennis Wilson said
of Smile: It makes Pet Sounds stink
That's how good it is

Brian Wilson said
Let's sing something together
Row, row, row your boat

Woodrow Wilson said
Unfortunately all my
Quotes are the wrong length

Murry Wilson said
David be a good chap and
Don't fart in my face

Blind Owl Wilson said
Baby don't you wanna go
On the road again

A.N. Wilson said
I'm the victim of a hoax
by Bevis Hillier

Barbara Wilson
Was a girl at junior school
That I used to chase

There once was a young man named Bri
For years in bed he did lie
But some demons he purged
And eventually emerged
So the doubters, here's mud in your eye

This is a tanka (5-7-5-7-7):

While the Touring Boys
Were wowing them in Japan
And romping no doubt
With the daughters of Nippon
Bro Bri was crafting Pet Sounds

3 limericks from Kevin Lucas:

Their top 40 hits?  36!
They sang about surf, cars and chicks.
The Beach Boys I play
On my iPod each day
'Cause I must get my fun music fix.

Brian Wilson, Mike Love and the rest
Made great music out there in the West
This group mastered the turf
Of the music called surf.
I consider The Beach Boys the best.

Mike Love told his cousin "Quit tryin'
To screw with the formula, Brian!"
Good Vibrations returned
For The Beach Boys; they learned
With nostalgia, that fun's never dyin'

And john k. - please sound that wonderful sonnet of yours a.s.a.p. !

The Beach Boys are two bands in one.
Brian's music just shines like the sun
But money and art
At last drove them apart
Brian SMiLEs and Mike plays Fun Fun Fun.

Not hard to guess which I prefer
But of late I have learned to beware
Be you Miss, Mrs, Mister
If you're Brianista
Welcome, my friend, put it there!

A floating cork
A blown leaf
A falling rock
Three elements no fire.

Carl was the mediator
Brian loves to eat the taters
Mike became a meditator
And told Jardine to "Peace out, later!"

Denny was a prolific dater
Bruce did not vote for Ralph Nader
Britz's hands were on the faders
Murry was the real Darth Vader

The Markses and Rovells held some seders
Brian’s productions just got greater
SMiLE happened decades later
SIP has less lovers than haters

Ocean liner, bicycle, train
Lost and found
America remains.

The following haiku-like sentence excerpted from Alex Farquharson's book - 'Brian Wilson - An Art Book' (2004):

Creative hubris
with echoes of Icarus
and Doctor Faustus
******************************************************************************************
The following quote is lifted from fellow Dane, Lars Muhl's essay, "The Beach Boys - The Height of Spiritual Music". He's a popular singer/songwriter turned writer/esoteric/spiritual coach and lately Beach Boys-fan!:

...let it's authentic,
healing sound with the haiku-
like Words flow through you

http://www.larsmuhl.com/news/158/182/Beach-Boys-The Height-of Spiritual-Music

Let me take care of my typo in the Lars Muhl 'haiku':

      'let its authentic,

healing sound with the haiku-
     
 like words flow through you'

A re-fitted word-units tanka'drome (5-7-5-7-7 - thanks jk):

Beatles before long...
created Revolution
(the NUMBER-one) ~ Bri's ...
Number One/Revo-Lution:
created long before Beatles'

Brilliant!

There once was a Mike from Nantucket.
He...

uhh...never mind.

There once were these singing sensations.
They were ALL about those good vibrations.
But that didn't last long.
They just don't get along.
And we debate the implications. :(

- And your 'drome comes true! Let me show my appreciation in the style of a haiku~tanka:

HAIkudos all 'round...
(HIGH FIVE/seven/five) TANKsA-
lot {five/seven/five/
7
7}

Another limerick that never took off  (by its own account) from GeneralE:

That line Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Barbara Ann
in a limerick? No, not a good plan!
Though a big Beach Boys hit,
This song's beat (I admit)
just won't fit when this hit hits the fan

^GeneralE speaking^ (senryu 3/3/3):

'just won't fit
when thi§hit
hits The FAN'

There once came a Gage from 'KENtucket'(?)

- the 'Old Man' whom Douglas was 'Bugged At'

Gage's sons got a scare

each time HE made them stare...

as he pulled out his glass eye from socket

 :lol

In celebration of NPP, here's hypehat's "Brianista's Prayer":

Oh Brian
Thou Art In Hawthorne,
Harmonied Be Thy name
Your Kingdom Come,
Your Steak Well Done,
On Stage As It Is In Studio,
Give Us This Day, Our Shortenin' Bread
And Forgive Our Bootlegs,
As We Also Have Forgiven Our Wife And Managers,
And Lead Us Not Into Kokomo,
But Deliver Us From Mike Love.

Amen.

Haiku from Bev (2007-2008):

      I hear the Beach Boys
I have no choice but to dance
    My heart can't stand still

           David Anderle

the good old master painter

       Vosse posse Boss

       John Frank Rieley III

are you sleeping Brother John?

       JACK of many trades

If any board member here deserves his own haiku-palindrome tribute (as created by one Daniel!), that one has to be Mr. Andrew G. Doe:


                                                                                                            A video dry:

                                                                                             Trample here ~ madam ere help...

                                                                                                        martyr-Doe-diva!!!

Classic!
