Title: Antidote to great songs yer don't like: cheese yer do like Post by: Fun Is In on July 24, 2007, 09:30:50 AM My favorite cheesy BB songs are:
How She Boogalooed It and Hey Little Tomboy (tho it has that creepy factor) What are yers? Was "Boogalooed It" recorded at a slower speed and then sped up? Title: Re: Antidote to great songs yer don't like: cheese yer do like Post by: Sheriff John Stone on July 24, 2007, 10:15:38 AM Maybe because of all the drama the guys were going through at the time, personally and professionally - with the drugs, alcohol, affairs, divorce, bankruptcy/wealth, aging, the climate of the country, etc. - but I find 15 Big Ones and Love You fascinating to listen to.
It's when I was first becoming a BB fan, and listening to those records on the same turntable that just played Endless Summer and Spirit of America, well, it was fun. Still is...

Title: Re: Antidote to great songs yer don't like: cheese yer do like Post by: Mahalo on July 24, 2007, 08:29:41 PM To some people, the Beach Boys are the EPITOMY of Cheesy....they are all stupid, of course...
Title: Re: Antidote to great songs yer don't like: cheese yer do like Post by: Fun Is In on July 24, 2007, 08:44:01 PM Man, I'd forgotten Male Ego. A fine helping of extra cheezy!
Title: Re: Antidote to great songs yer don't like: cheese yer do like Post by: Reggie Dunbar on July 24, 2007, 09:35:19 PM It's O.K.
Goin' On Getcha Back Good Timin' Still Cruisin' and yes, even Kokomo. >:D Sure, these songs aren't reflective of their finest artist endeavors. But they capture the spirit of the moment, something they had lost over the years. Title: Re: Antidote to great songs yer don't like: cheese yer do like Post by: matt-zeus on July 24, 2007, 11:20:41 PM 7. Let the Wind Blow 8. Time to get alone Thats not cheese! ;D Title: Re: Antidote to great songs yer don't like: cheese yer do like Post by: smile-holland on July 25, 2007, 02:34:23 AM I gotta admit that......
I somehow like Strangs Things Happen (the longer US-version) and Lahaina Aloha..... merely because of respectively Al’s and Carls leadvoc’s, but still I like them....... now if that ain’t cheesy... Title: Re: Antidote to great songs yer don't like: cheese yer do like Post by: phirnis on July 25, 2007, 02:55:07 AM At My Window (wouldn't call it cheese myself, though)
It's OK Sweet Sunday Kinda Love Hey, Little Tomboy That Same Song Lady Lynda Kokomo Island Girl ...and probably Still Surfin', too... gulp... Title: Re: Antidote to great songs yer don't like: cheese yer do like Post by: carlydenise on July 25, 2007, 05:17:19 AM What is cheezy? One man's cheese is another man's hit...........songs that are geared for little kids or child-like happy cheery songs are what I define as cheezy.....how she boogalooed it and funky pretty probably wouldn't make good kids songs I guess :p

Jardine's vocals on Strange Things are nothing short of fantastic. They actually made me think of him in a differnt way as a vocalist. Title: Re: Antidote to great songs yer don't like: cheese yer do like Post by: pixletwin on July 25, 2007, 03:12:51 PM My favorite BB cheese?
JAW-NEE CAR-SON!!!! I also like Still Surfin' Title: Re: Antidote to great songs yer don't like: cheese yer do like Post by: Mahalo on July 25, 2007, 03:34:45 PM My favorite BB cheese? JAW-NEE CAR-SON!!!! Amen to that........JAW-NEE CAR-SON........ED MCMAHON COMES ON AND SAYS HERE'S JOHNNY!!!! What's not to love?? Title: Re: Antidote to great songs yer don't like: cheese yer do like Post by: the captain on July 25, 2007, 03:42:55 PM I wouldn't call Johnny Carson cheesy at all. I think of cheese as more along the lines of the slick, overproduced nostalgia trips, or the slimy attempts at being current (that aren't).
BBs 85, most of KTSA, MIU, etc. And as for my cheese...on occasion, I like Sweet Sunday Love. Title: Re: Antidote to great songs yer don't like: cheese yer do like Post by: punkinhead on July 25, 2007, 10:32:42 PM fav slice of cheese: Some of Your Love

maybe I should give it another shot...this time with a more open mind when I listen to it :lol Title: Re: Antidote to great songs yer don't like: cheese yer do like Post by: adamghost on July 27, 2007, 03:56:58 PM Keepin' The Summer Alive all the way baby! I love that song. And it is so fodaing stupid.
Here Comes The Night -- crass, blatant pandering, beautifully executed vocally and to an edgy track (think of "Go Get That Girl" or "She's Got Rhythm" or the Celebration album to imagine how Beach Boys disco could have been sooo much worse). I love it...one of my all time fave BBs tracks. Recently had M.I.U. on and was shocked to find out how much of it held up for me as an adult (I first absorbed it at about 14). Some of the stupidest lyrics ever committed to record, but Pitter Patter, Matchpoint and Winds of Change -- I enjoyed them all. My Diane too, but that ain't cheese. Summer In Paradise is a toxic waste dump of a record, but the Surfin' remake is a lot of fun...it works precisely because it's such a bad idea. It actually comes out the other side of bad into being a hoot. Them there's my votes! Title: Re: Antidote to great songs yer don't like: cheese yer do like Post by: Mahalo on July 27, 2007, 07:22:16 PM Wow...Battle Hymn... maybe I should give it another shot...this time with a more open mind when I listen to it :lol ......I never said *their* BHOTR rules.....I just love the song....but their version is alright....it sounds 30 million times better when drunk. "Glory, Glory Hallelujah..."!!! Title: Re: Antidote to great songs yer don't like: cheese yer do like Post by: Andrew G. Doe on July 28, 2007, 01:29:50 AM fav slice of cheese: Some of Your Love Ah yes... "Sum-sum-summer yer lurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrve" Pure gorgonzola. Title: Re: Antidote to great songs yer don't like: cheese yer do like Post by: the captain on August 17, 2007, 05:17:15 PM Sorry to exhume this old thread, but reading the opposite one (great songs you, er, "yer" don't like) and reading all the recent stuff about my disliked KTSA and despised '85, I pulled out my twofer. And I forgot something.
I like Livin' With a Heartache. It's cheese. The production has plenty of vintage cheese (Is that effect-laden electric guitar and electric pianos in unison on 2 and 4 in the verses?) Carl sounds pretty drunk. But I kind of like it anyway.

Steve Desper says it's his favorite Beach Boys recording he did.
Title: Re: Antidote to great songs yer don't like: cheese yer do like Post by: Eric Aniversario on August 19, 2007, 01:57:42 AM I'm going to admit something pretty gaspworthy:
I like "Summer Of Love". Not because it's a great piece of music...it's an absolute embarassment and should not have been on that Baywatch episode. But because it's so cheesy it's actually pretty enjoyable and puts a smile on my face almost every time I hear it. Title: Re: Antidote to great songs yer don't like: cheese yer do like Post by: pixletwin on August 19, 2007, 10:25:13 AM I got to agree Eric. Summer of Love is so bad its almost good. All those references to old BB songs makes it pretty entertaining. Besides, its a lot better than Brian's rap song Smart Girls... but I have to admit, I like the Smart Girls song as well. :lol

I think I've managed to listen to that all the way through just once. For whatever reason, I find almost all of Sweet Insanity pretty unlistenable.Title: Re: Antidote to great songs yer don't like: cheese yer do like Post by: pixletwin on August 19, 2007, 10:50:32 AM Well I guess we all have different standards and lines we will never cross. :lol
pixletwin sings: smart girls. I like the smart girls. (nuh nuh nuh) with a high IQ.

I like the smart girls. (nuh nuh nuh) with a high IQ. "Wouldn't it be nice if PhD's were stroking me with hypotheses..." The biggest crime of all time against a Pet Sounds song. Title: Re: Antidote to great songs yer don't like: cheese yer do like Post by: ♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇 on May 27, 2012, 12:53:00 AM Agree with all of yours except School Days...the shoddy production (mainly the lazily repetitive backups) ruin the song for me.
I LOVE Sunshine, though. Brian's singing in his upper range throughout, which was a rarity for that time period. Title: Re: Antidote to great songs yer don't like: cheese yer do like Post by: runnersdialzero on May 27, 2012, 01:05:58 AM I started to make a list with explanations, but then the list got out of control.
Title: Re: Antidote to great songs yer don't like: cheese yer do like Post by: Ziggy Stardust on May 27, 2012, 02:11:23 AM There sure is a lot of crazy posts on that board!
The other day i saw someone saying that The Beach Boys version of The Times They Are a-Changin' was better than the original one by Bob Dylan, and now i'm reading that their version of School Days is better than the original by Chuck Berry, holy moly!!!!!

And this isn't cheesy so much as it is completely bizarre, but I really like My Solution.

Brian's harmonies are unreal on that. I enjoy a lot of BW88/Sweet Insanity ear recordings: 'He Couldn't Get His Poor Old Body to Move' sticks out for me.
