Probably the weirdest phrase in the Beach Boys catalogue Title: Re: Unusual words that made their way into BB lyrics... Post by: Aum Bop Diddit on May 06, 2015, 09:09:33 PM You can probably leave it at "enemas" -- tough to top.

Title: Re: Unusual words that made their way into BB lyrics... Post by: CenturyDeprived on May 06, 2015, 09:46:31 PM You can probably leave it at "enemas" -- tough to top. There's no way I can conceive that that word is in any other song by any other famous band. With the potential exception of Tool, and possibly a punk/metal band or two. The BBs broke ground (and wind) with that one. Kinda like the band Live with "placenta". Title: Re: Unusual words that made their way into BB lyrics...

"Radio" is not a strange word for a pop song.

Post by: Matt Bielewicz on May 07, 2015, 03:57:20 AM cellunoid (the most unusual word of all, no-one else has ever used it) I've got my picky slippers on here... but wasn't the word actually supposed to be 'solenoid'? As in a coil of wire, as used in an electromagnetic door locking system? I can't even remember where I heard that that's what that word was — but I think I did. If so, Mike definitely mispronounced it, or was given lyrics to sing that misspelt it, resulting in the mispronunciation, because it really does sound like he sings 'cellunoid'... columnated ...and wasn't it asserted years ago on here (or possibly on another board that was one of the forerunners to this one) that the word 'columnated' in Surf's Up ISN'T actually a word at all, but a poetic combination (in true Van Dyke Parks style) of the words 'colonnaded' and 'calumniated' (as in 'beslandered, ill-spoken-of')? Or possibly just even a slurred rendering of the word 'colonnaded', which was then incorrectly written down on lyric sheets for the Surf's Up album? I forget... Title: Re: Unusual words that made their way into BB lyrics... Post by: Please delete my account on May 07, 2015, 04:09:31 AM "columnated" is in my Collins Dictionary.

Post by: RangeRoverA1 on May 07, 2015, 06:13:44 AM I still to this day don't know what exactly "Cabin/Essence" means. It's the most unusual song title for me.

It's the most unusual song title for me. you can have the essence of anything. The thing that makes it what it is. The essential properties. The Platonic ideal. e.g. smileysmile.net essence RangeRoverA1 essence Title: Re: Unusual words that made their way into BB lyrics... Post by: SBonilla on May 07, 2015, 07:56:32 AM brrr

But it's still unique title, coz we don't use "cabin" now to mean "house".Title: Re: Unusual words that made their way into BB lyrics...

"ozone layer" "pudgy" (find me another band, famous or otherwise, that has this in a lyric) EDIT: I guess Weird Al does :) "doughy" "greenhouse effect" "ffft" (unsure how to spell the cigarette butt sound) "athletes" "suffocated" "patchwork" "elderly" gotta love this wacky band.

Post by: Theydon Bois on May 07, 2015, 09:34:01 AM "pudgy" (find me another band, famous or otherwise, that has this in a lyric) In total honesty, the word "pudgy" appears in the Frank Zappa song "The Illinois Enema Bandit", already mentioned twice in this thread. Honestly, it's like some of you don't know it or something. Title: Re: Unusual words that made their way into BB lyrics...
