I kind of like Crocodile Rock, but I've got to say Carl looked really creepy with that big grey beard, the shades and the hat. Title: Re: bb on summer of love video clip Post by: Andrew G.

Title: Re: bb on summer of love video clip Post by: Jonas on August 16, 2006, 12:05:46 PM I watched the Summer of Love video but had Caroline, No playing instead (speakers are hooked up to ipod)...they somehow seem to perfectly fit.

Judging from the expression on Brian's face, that was the first time he'd ever heard the song. I still think it would have been acceptable had they stuck with the original choice for lead vocal. Title: Re: bb on summer of love video clip Post by: Sheriff John Stone on August 16, 2006, 01:37:12 PM Judging from the expression on Brian's face, that was the first time he'd ever heard the song. I was thinking the exact same thing. But I'm even more curious as to why Brian consented to appear on the video to "Summer Of Love", when he wasn't even on the song, or the album. That is correct isn't it, that Brian had nothing to do with the Summer In Paradise album? Title: Re: bb on summer of love video clip Post by: Andrew G. Doe on August 16, 2006, 01:55:38 PM Brian's only representation on SIP is as co-composer of "Surfin'".
Title: Re: bb on summer of love video clip Post by: sailonsailor on August 16, 2006, 02:46:17 PM Carl reminds me of ZZ Top's granddad in that Crocodile Rock video. And what's with Al's extensions?? But it again points out how the band just absolutely had no sense of fashion from day one, from the horrendous album covers to the goofy clothes to the refusal to make Mike Love stop his "Elaine Benes" dance moves to the old-guys-acting-like-teenagers videos (although CALIFORNIA DREAMING was pretty decent.) We can all agree that they were geniuses musically, but their refusal to understand the style part of the job has always fascinated me. How can you be so brilliant musically and so tone-deaf on the rest of the package? You'd think a band that had been through the hip wringer as many times as the Beach Boys had could have hired a consultant to help them help themselves by the time videos came along. God, I love them, but still...

God, I love them, but still... i totally 100% w/o a doubt agree...may this very reason is why Dennis was a no-show so much? i tell ya, if i had to cavort around with these dorks on video... pretty soon, i'd think my macho rep wa at stake...nevermind the alcohol & drugs that fueled it!!! i know there are less than flattering pic's of Dennis , but, face it, the bb's were narcisists who hogged the spotlight and pushed Denny outta the way, til one day Denny died and there was no more Denny to push aside. Now here we have the boys in the stupidest getups ever...with no one to blame but themselves and their terrible fashion sense!!! Title: Re: bb on summer of love video clip Post by: Dutchie on August 16, 2006, 03:06:08 PM Because it sucks ! But why does it sucks. in my opinion its got a catcy rythem and i dont listen to the meaning of the lyrics. And i still think mike does look great. The thing i dont understand is that brian is there. The reason being so thats filmed in 1995 when brian got back with the guys Title: Re: bb on summer of love video clip Post by: tpesky on August 16, 2006, 03:29:23 PM AGD you mentioned had they stuck with the original choice for lead vocal, I am assuming you are referring to Summer of Love there (not Crocodile), who was the originial choice for lead vocal on Summer of Love?

Judging from the expression on Brian's face, that was the first time he'd ever heard the song. I still think it would have been acceptable had they stuck with the original choice for lead vocal. I remember in 1995 being appalled at them blowing their big chance...a chance to debut a new song on the most-watched TV show in the WORLD...and they choose "Summer Of Love"? What an embarassment! "Island Fever", "Strange Things Happen" or "Lahaina Aloha" would have made much better choices, with the first two having hit single potential in other countries. Everyone I play this song for either laughs or wonders if it is a serious song, or both. Title: Re: bb on summer of love video clip Post by: Rocker on August 17, 2006, 04:29:04 AM BTW:

You're not going to believe this, but it's true. Originally "Summer Of Love" was going to have a lead vocal by... Bart Simpson. Title: Re: bb on summer of love video clip Post by: Andrew G.

The delivery - Mike at his very worst (and the video makes my flesh crawl)... The track - musical painting by numbers... The production - I use the term loosely. As a comedy track with a Bart lead vocal, it would have been a doozy, and maybe even a hit.

Originally "Summer Of Love" was going to have a lead vocal by... Bart Simpson. Well, I for one really can't believe this. But if you tell us one ore time that it's true, I might change my mind.... Do the Bart-man ! Title: Re: bb on summer of love video clip Post by: Pretty Funky on August 17, 2006, 11:30:12 AM I guess Brian is there cause he felt like a day at the beach. You can tell by the black leather jacket and doc-martins. :police:

Title: Re: bb on summer of love video clip Post by: Emdeeh on August 17, 2006, 06:52:01 PM For all of you fashion critics, the whole point of everyone's (not just the BB's) "look" in the "Crocodile Rock" video was intentionally tacky and retro-cheesy. That's why they're wearing the garish duds (like Al's plaid jackets) and the unflattering hats. For heaven's sake, Bruce is dressed like a hitman in some shots! It's a joke, son.
Anyway, it's sure not how they dressed normally, although that was Al's real hair (he wore it in a ponytail in the early '90s). Title: Re: bb on summer of love video clip Post by: Lorenschwartz on August 17, 2006, 07:05:02 PM Cheezy like wiz, dude. i had to face my friends in'91 sayin the Beach Boys were the bomb?!
i'm sure tey were into nirvana & soundgarden and here i was into crocodile rock? Title: Re: bb on summer of love video clip Post by: sailonsailor on August 17, 2006, 07:52:44 PM Yeah, but they were cheesy before it was retro. I don't want to beat up on them, but they have never understood the importance of image in marketing their music, and it hurt them, well, i was going to say for years, but I think it essentially continues to this day.

Totally agree ! BTW I'd like to hear a Nirvana-version of "I'm broke" ;D Title: Re: bb on summer of love video clip Post by: MBE on August 19, 2006, 01:08:22 AM I think they looked cool until about 76-77. The shorts on stage is when it all went wrong.

Carl really messed up when he cut his mane in late 80's and donned full suits and big sunglasses, WTF?!!!I DIDNT MIND THE GRAY Title: Re: bb on summer of love video clip Post by: Eric Aniversario on August 20, 2006, 02:45:56 AM Yeah, those mid-80's live clips can be a little embarrassing to watch. (Live Aid, Farm Aid, etc.) The performances were OK, but the clothes....whoa!
Title: Re: bb on summer of love video clip Post by: MBE on August 20, 2006, 04:32:59 AM Last time Carl looked really good was right before Dennis died. Brian looked good until about 88 when he began to really age. Al I would say 74 or so Mike maybe 68. Bruce perhaps 78-9, Dennis 77 release party for P.O.B. after that disaster area!
Title: Re: bb on summer of love video clip Post by: Rocker on August 20, 2006, 05:35:00 AM I have to admit that I think Al still looked cool in the early 90s with that long hair and all. In the video to "Problem child" he reminds me of David Lee Roth (a little). Also in the booklet to Stars&Stripes with the hair, white shirt and black pants....cool !
