Title: Vegetables Post by: roll plymouth rock on March 29, 2008, 11:52:11 AM So I am just trying to figure out how many different versions of this song there are. So far, I can think of 4:
-The Smile version -The Smiley Smile version -The Laughing Gravy version -The Jan & Dean 70's version Is this the case? Title: Re: Vegetables Post by: Chris Brown on March 29, 2008, 11:56:23 AM Technically speaking, there were 2 Smile versions...the "cornucopia" version (which almost sounds like a demo) that was done in late '66 I believe, then the version we all know from the box set that was done in April '67.
Other than that, your list looks good to me! Title: Re: Vegetables Post by: Fun Is In on March 29, 2008, 03:42:30 PM BWPS?

Title: Re: Vegetables Post by: Bicyclerider on March 30, 2008, 03:54:40 PM The initial track was just Brian's piano, so they were singing to that.
Title: Re: Vegetables Post by: c-man on March 30, 2008, 03:58:25 PM The initial track was just Brian's piano, so they were singing to that. Yep. And I think the Gold Star track is pretty obvious on the 1993 "Good Vibrations" box set mix. Great job on that by Mark Linett, BTW.

I always thought it was an unusual, but ambitious choice. They were two albums and a couple of singles removed from Smiley Smile/"Vegetables" by then, but it was an excellent performance nevertheless.

Unfortunately, no YouTube. I have it on an old Maxell audio cassette somewhere.... EDIT: I apologize, it was David Frost, not Mike Douglas. Sorry... Title: Re: Vegetables Post by: c-man on March 30, 2008, 08:01:20 PM If it was David Frost, then it was 1971, with the acoustic "Lady" and "Forever", right?

Yes, and a wonderful version of "Lady" it was BTW... Title: Re: Vegetables Post by: Mahalo on March 31, 2008, 05:26:33 PM On the Vegatables demo, can anyone figure out the backgroung vox after Brian sings, "I'm gonna cornucopia, strip the stalk green and I hope ya like me most of all, my favorite Vegetable..."?
Title: Re: Vegetables Post by: Ian on March 31, 2008, 06:22:47 PM I wrote to the David Frost show owners and they tell me that that show is no more-destroyed to save space years ago. It exists on audio-some fan taped it (it appeared on some boots), but the video seems to be lost forever
Title: Re: Vegetables Post by: Chris Brown on March 31, 2008, 06:38:13 PM On the Vegatables demo, can anyone figure out the backgroung vox after Brian sings, "I'm gonna cornucopia, strip the stalk green and I hope ya like me most of all, my favorite Vegetable..."? I've never been able to totally decipher it...at the end it sounds like they sing something like "made my body shook" but I really don't know. Title: Re: Vegetables Post by: Amazing Larry on July 14, 2009, 04:14:57 PM I could make out "Round And Round and Round Dig A Hole In The Ground"
Title: Re: Vegetables Post by: Mahalo on July 14, 2009, 08:05:16 PM ...wow, that sounds prttey good....
Title: Re: Vegetables Post by: Alex on July 14, 2009, 08:19:57 PM On the Vegatables demo, can anyone figure out the backgroung vox after Brian sings, "I'm gonna cornucopia, strip the stalk green and I hope ya like me most of all, my favorite Vegetable..."? To me it always sounded like "tripped on a cornucopia, squished the stalk green...".Title: Re: Vegetables Post by: Amazing Larry on July 14, 2009, 09:04:53 PM Its's "tripped on a cornucopia, strip the stalk green"
Title: Re: Vegetables Post by: Mr. Cohen on July 14, 2009, 09:13:54 PM Quote Its's "tripped on a cornucopia, strip the stalk green" Yes, a clever little reference to smoking weed, which I is why I think this is the right lyric. He "tripped" on an endless supply of weed, stripping the stalks of their bud to smoke. Title: Re: Vegetables Post by: Amazing Larry on July 15, 2009, 12:36:44 PM Hmmm... i never noticed that! :P
