Barbara Ann (I mean most people think the Beach Boys were the first to record this song) Some of Brian's solo songs, from what I have seen on the web.

Title: Re: Songs often mistaken for Beach Boys songs Post by: punkinhead on April 05, 2007, 02:28:32 PM Yeah, Mike Love doesn't help matters by performing these oldies in concert....Like Sherry, Duke Of Earl, Little GTO...doesn't defend our case well...It'd be cool if they performed Hey Little Cobra, they'd be slightly steller...I'm suprised Mike hasn't asked some of his friends in the past to join the bandwagon like Dean Torrence

On AM radio, Gary Lewis sounded rather like Mike Love and "the Playboys" sounded like the Wrecking Crew. That surf guitar solo didn't hurt either (but it does nowadays) |
