I'd really like to try my hand at being the first to reconstruct the "Remember The Zoo" LP, but I hit one snag... is 'Teeter-Totter Love' available on any bootleg???  That's the only track I can't find.

As for the nonexistent title track, I have some ideas up my sleeve  ;)

Remember The Zoo does not, and has never, existed.
Teeter Totter has never been booted.

Yes I know, I'm going to make the title track myself based on the description of it.  (It was similar to "Tomorrow Never Knows" and had animal sounds.  I.e., acid trip version of "Barnyard".)

You ever heard Wild Man Fischer ? Jasper wasn't that tuneful, as he was the first to admit.

Remember The Zoo (c) Bicycle Riders

Do you remember oh when we were kids?
The trips we took the groovy things we often did
The time we spent together just  me and you
Oh ho, do you remember the zoo?

The zoo was the place we used to like to go
When things got crazy we could take it slow
Stroll around the park think of stuff to do
Oh ho, do you remember the zoo?

Remember the zoo, remember the zoo
The days we spent together there me and you
Oh my there's lions, tigers and bears
The two of us without no cares

We used to laugh at all the zebra stripes
Riding on the tramway high as a kite
Eating cotton candy, pink popcorn, too
Oh ho, do you remember the zoo?

We liked to watch oh yeah the giraffes neck
Stand above on the observation deck
Then we'd go and watch the Chimp Sullivan Shoe
Oh ho, do you remember the zoo?

We used to ride high on the llamas
Nobody would tell our papas or mamas
Wish a jellyfish might give us both a clue
Oh ho, do you remember the zoo?

We used to like to watch the byrds at play
Spy on dirty monkees hey hey hey hey
I sure do miss the days I spent with you
Oh ho, do you remember the zoo?

THE ALBUM DOES NOT EXIST. IT'S A HOAX!

Has any1 got a mp3 of this? Thanks.

 FUM HIM THE MOURDOROUS BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there a faked tracklist?

In The Back Of My Mind - Let Him Run Wild - Summer Means New Love - The Little Girl I Once Knew - Trombone Dixie* - In My Childhood - Pet Sounds* - I'm Waiting For The Day - I'm In Great Shape - Teeter-Totter Love - Tones - Remember The Zoo ?
[tracks noted * had lyrics]

I'm pretty sure he's aware of that and doing this for sheer non-historical pleasure.

Yeah, I'm well aware that it's not real.  I don't appreciate being spazzed at either...

That´s a really great tracklist, even if it´s faked.

So, Ian?  Can I find it at Wal Mart?  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Oh no - you do realise that's going to pop up all ove rthe place now as the 'great lost Beach Boys album' as if it was real!

Great cover though!

Ooops! I shoulda put a disclaimer on it!

Ronnie, you have waaaaaay too much time on your hands....

Actually, I did that cover a few years ago when we had an article about it in EAR CANDY.  I just "jazzed it up" a little since my photoshop skills have improved since then.

Who spazzed at ya? I didn't see no spazzing. There was a distinct lack of spazition I thought. If anything, there could be more spazzing here.

Ha ha, new bogus album:

REMEMBER THE SPAZ?

Here's the article we did back in 2002 about this fake album:

As you can see, my photoshop skills have improved since then, ha ha.

Getting back on topic. Someone gave some sort of description of Teeter Totter Love a while back. Anyone got it?

And you think I care??

 ;D ;D ;D

What the hell is Tones?

Also known as Tune - X...


Wasn't this a Carl song not intended for SMiLE but ended up on all the boots anyway?

No, it's just "On A Holiday", I think.

No and Yes.  "Tones" is a Carl song from the SMiLE sessions that was never intended for the album.  "Tune X" is the tag to "Holidays" that became the "Whispering Winds" section on BWPS.  Two entirely different parts.  The confusion comes from the early Vigotone SMiLE boot that mislabelled something else as "Tune X"  (was it "I Wanna Be Around"?  god it's been a long time since those days.)

Confusing, I know...  ???

Tones is an instrumental written and produced by Carl during the Smile sessions, but probably never intended for Smile. Nice string arrangement, straight 4/4 rhythm, reminds people of Penny Lane . It surfaced on the Secret Smile bootleg, but was in circulation before. This song has not appeared on any previous Smile bootleg.

The confusion arises because on the old bootlegs (e.g. Vigotone), the song Holidays is called "Tones / Tune X", and the song Look (aka Song For Children) is called "Holidays".

I don't have it saved but I remember clearly that one insider who had listened to the track said it sucked.

Maybe it's like "My Little Red Book", the idea of a Brian version of this song recorded during Smile was really interesting, till the day I heard it and blah.

Yeah, this has never been booted. There were two other jasper dailey recordings from this era, ie January 1967 (Crack The Whip, and When I Get Mad I Just Play My Drums), which turned up on acetate in an auction back in the mid-90s, but these have never appeared on the collectors circuit either.
