The Smiley Smile Message Board

Some time back, I plugged the vocals of God Only Knows into Microsoft Songsmith, and this is what I got:

Unless I'm mistaken or otherwise tonedeaf, the chords (at least the first four) are identical to the chords of the regular backing track. It's like Brian Wilson's songwriting aura is able to extend even into software so that it gets it right for him.

Wow! How does one spell "horrific?"

Brian got it "right" with one ear! And, without that computer program.

That was a "painful" listen.

And worse, even to see the album image simultaneously. 

Dissonance.  And not "cognitive dissonance" either.  ::)

This one is just... just...

It's just.

Thanks, Andrew. You've just made tea come out of my nose. (And to think I was only drinking milk. Boom-tish. Aythangyew, I'm here all week, folks!)

I heard this one a while back and saved an MP3 of it because I kind of dug the weird Goth Club vibe on it. Totally different, but it sort of works in a weird way.

I dare to beg to differ....!

This is also...
                   just.

For the love of God, whatever you do, STOP WATCHING BEFORE YOU GET TO 3.19 !!!!!  :o :thud :ahh

You actually made it that far? I'm impressed.  :lol

I read the responses and fast-forwarded.  ;D

That's it. there is no god.

Holy hell....that is the worst cover of anything, anywhere. You were wrong about Walkin' in the Sand :lol

i just wanted quote this and be puzzled

If you squint your eyes at the beginning, that guy with the beard and red bathrobe-looking jacket looks kind of like Brian in the Belushi surfing skit. All similarities in appearance are forgotten as soon as he opens his mouth.

Perhaps not...maybe my senses are numb from that guy's singing.

Someone should load the Black Eyed Peas Super Bowl show into that Microsoft contraption and see what comes out. ;D

Sacrilege
Sacrilege is the violation or injurious treatment of a sacred object.

No. It just shows how torturous hell could be.

i wanna hear him cover don't talk now

I'd prefer him on Let's go away for a while  :lol

Screw that... I'm Bugged at My Old Man :lol

yeah i agree it works at times. 

Well.... at least we know what hell feels/sounds like


Did Charly Manson make a sudden career move? (and was this filmed with his brandnew cellphone?)

This is the most rapacious sound ever.
