Title: Cherry Cherry Coupe Post by: dombanzai on February 05, 2021, 05:53:31 AM Is this track one of the most perfect in The Beach Boys' arsenal? Always loved this one as it's got the full package. Great lead vocal, great background vocals, Mike's excellent bass vocal, great production and an instrumental track that chugs along at a great lick, with Carl's guitar flicks and Hal's instinctive drum fills. Just a shame the song lasts for less than two minutes. A real gem.

Mike's bass vocal during the chorus forshadows Dennis' "Truck driving Man" in "Cabinessence".

Yep, no way Dennis isn't drumming on all the new songs on Little Deuce Coupe (Besides A Young Man Is Gone of course).Title: Re: Cherry Cherry Coupe Post by: rab2591 on February 05, 2021, 07:48:26 AM Is this track one of the most perfect in The Beach Boys' arsenal?

Mike's bass vocal is incredible on this - and (being overdramatic but I really feel this way) "incredible" doesn't do it justice. That song has the perfect feel. |
