Title: funniest beach boys song Post by: grapejuicesnake on July 09, 2016, 09:16:10 PM I know that most songs were not meant to be funny, but I would like to hear if anyone has any ideas.
Title: Re: funniest beach boys song Post by: Rick5150 on July 10, 2016, 02:27:29 AM All I Want To Do - Dennis' ending cracks me up
I'd Love Just Once To See You - Brian's ending cracks me up Solar System - If Mars had life on it, I might find my wife on it. Classic. Inappropriately funny: Hey Little Tomboy Roller Skating Child Lazy Lizzie Honorable mentions: She's Going Bald is funny but for the wrong reasons. Mostly silly. Ballad of Ole' Betsy - "surprise twist" at the ending Everybody Want's To Live - those first lines "A cigarette butt when you throw it in the water goes phssssst. But the trick, but the trick is you shouldn't laugh." WTF? Title: Re: funniest beach boys song Post by: Smilin Ed H on July 10, 2016, 02:32:49 AM Battle Hymn of the Republic.

Title: Re: funniest beach boys song Post by: Rick5150 on July 10, 2016, 06:45:42 AM I'm Bugged At My Old Man was funny until I found out more about Brian's upbringing. Then it was really sad. I do like the live version with the 3 Wilson brothers though.

Title: Re: funniest beach boys song Post by: B.E. on July 10, 2016, 03:22:19 PM I'd Love Just Once To See You - Brian's ending cracks me up Yes! Funny moments. I particularly love that line in Solar System.Solar System - If Mars had life on it, I might find my wife on it. Classic. Funniest Beach Boys song for me is I'm Bugged At My Ol' Man. I like to think it pissed Murry off! Think of all the fans that heard it... Also, I'd like to mention Brian's Too Much Sugar. I've recommended that song to a few people who I know like to listen to music while working out. They all got a kick out of it :lol Title: Re: funniest beach boys song Post by: halblaineisgood on July 10, 2016, 03:27:41 PM transcendental meditation
Title: Re: funniest beach boys song Post by: marcella27 on July 10, 2016, 06:44:32 PM Take a Load off your Feet is pretty funny. But Johnny Carson takes the cake as far as I'm concerned.
Title: Re: funniest beach boys song Post by: Joel Goldenberg on July 10, 2016, 08:22:14 PM Drive In The visual of people being chased around the drive in always cracks me up. As Mike's warning songs go, this is the father of Student Demonstration Time. ;D Title: Re: funniest beach boys song Post by: jiggy22 on July 10, 2016, 08:51:19 PM Mother May I comes to mind...

Title: Re: funniest beach boys song Post by: KDS on July 11, 2016, 06:09:22 AM County Fair is kinda funny.
While my least favorite song on TWGMTR, I can't help but to chuckle at the tongue in cheek lyrics Easy money Ain't life funny Hey, what's it to ya? Title: Re: funniest beach boys song Post by: Rocky Raccoon on July 11, 2016, 07:55:33 AM "Mona" always makes me laugh, especially this line:
"Listen to Da Doo Ron Ron now, listen to Be My Baby, I know you're gonna love Phil Spector..." Is there any other lyric so obviously written by Brian? :lol Also just in retrospect, the idea of flirting with a girl by talking about Phil Spector is just too funny. Title: Re: funniest beach boys song Post by: MyDrKnowsItKeepsMeCalm on July 11, 2016, 10:43:07 AM Solar System, Johnny Carson and Mona are good choices. A lot of the Love You songs are shot through with zany humor; I think that's among the reasons I like the album so much.
Along those lines, both Let's Put Our Hearts Together and Love Is A Woman usually give me a chuckle.

Title: Re: funniest beach boys song Post by: barto on July 11, 2016, 01:25:42 PM vege-tables comes to mind...on the topic has anyone heard the new avalanches album wildflower? they have a song called 'the noisy eater' thats a play on the beach boys song

Airplane (live) Everybody Wants To Live (my former roommates laughed so hard at this many times) Title: Re: funniest beach boys song Post by: bossaroo on July 11, 2016, 11:50:29 PM Good Time cracks me up
Title: Re: funniest beach boys song Post by: ThreeCats on July 12, 2016, 12:10:16 AM It's Trying To Say always makes me laugh. The way it suddenly transitions to a song about baseball is so random.
Title: Re: funniest beach boys song Post by: thorgil on July 12, 2016, 05:15:34 AM Almost all the songs named in this thread are funny. I'd add the Heroes and Villains sections, especially "Swedish Frogs".
Title: Re: funniest beach boys song Post by: petsoundsnola on July 12, 2016, 07:38:04 AM You know what's just as funny as some of these songs? Working Titles of songs, such as:
The Old Man and the Baby --> Let's Go Away for Awhile You are Grass and I'm a Power Mower --> California Girls I Hate Rock and Roll ---> Let Him Run Wild Title: Re: funniest beach boys song Post by: JK on July 21, 2016, 01:33:28 PM I don't think any of their stuff is funny. That said, the alternative take of "I'm So Young" never fails to make me smile.
The flautist sounds he's inadvertently wandered in from another recording session to practice. And those drums! Don't get me wrong----I'm utterly awed by it. Thank goodness it's out there for everyone to enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSxx7ESSngY Title: Re: funniest beach boys song Post by: Kurosawa on July 21, 2016, 10:00:47 PM Drive In This.
