I've always taken the banjo and high vocals to be bird tweet type of sounds. Title: Re: Beach Boys songs with bird sound effects Post by: Mitchell on February 15, 2006, 01:07:19 PM Oh yeah, there's that version of I Love to Say Da Da that has some tweets in it.

Desper on February 15, 2006, 07:25:32 PM "Surf's Up" Where do you hear bird effects in that song?Day In The Life of A Tree does not have bird effects, it has actual birds recorded in Brian's Bevery Hills back yard at dawn. ~swd Title: Re: Beach Boys songs with bird sound effects Post by: Compost on February 15, 2006, 07:41:19 PM Perhaps the figurative "muted trumpeters swan"?

By the same token, the Woody Woodpecker Symphony has those knocking sound effects, which could be interpreted as a woopecker pecking. Stephen, that is very true (as read in your book; great story on that wonderful song), but I was just making a point about "bird sounds" in general as being incorporated into the Beach Boys' music. It's a recurring theme! Title: Re: Beach Boys songs with bird sound effects Post by: Andrew G. Doe on February 15, 2006, 09:38:02 PM Think I need to adjust my sense of humor a little. :-)
The "Woody Woodpecker" trumpet lines, indeed. Title: Re: Beach Boys songs with bird sound effects Post by: Mitchell on February 16, 2006, 05:25:11 AM Does the rooster crow in Country Air count? Sure does! Good one. Isn't there a rooster in Loop De Loop as well? Title: Re: Beach Boys songs with bird sound effects Post by: Stephen W.

Cant leave out the animalized Barnyard. Funky Pretty sounds like a bat is flying around the room. Wasnt Desper involved with that? I know its supposed to sound more like a shooting star than a bat. But the song flows better if i imagine bats, and Brian always prefered his songs to have more then one meaning.

Probably had the coolest bird sound effects imo. Good call! I don't really hear anything in Barnyard that I would call a bird sound, but that "dow dow" in a weird pitched voice could be a "duck" or something. |
