The Smiley Smile Message Board

Are there enough unreleased songs for a Stars and Stripes vol.2? I would buy a copy if they ever decide to release such an album. Just to hear the Beach Boys background vocals on a whole album, is worth the price of admission.

Al's cut of California
Winter Wonderland


and....  ???

Ten different versions of Toby Keith doing Be True To Your School!! :lol :lol

"In My Room" w/Tammy.

Rumour has it that the following (real) country standards by the BBs and friends are lodged somewhere in Mike Love's vaults:

1. Get Your Tongue Outta My Mouth Cause I'm Kissing You Good-bye.

2. I Don't Know Whether To Kill Myself or Go Bowling.

3. If I Can't Be Number One In Your Life, Then Number Two On You.

4. I Sold A Car To A Guy Who Stole My Girl,
But It Don't Run So We're Even.

5. Mama Get A Hammer (There's A Fly On Daddy's Head).

6. If The Phone Don't Ring, You'll Know It's Me.

7. She's Actin' Single and I'm Drinkin' Doubles.

8. How Can I Miss You If You Won't Go Away.

9. I Keep Forgettin' I Forgot About You.

10. I Liked You Better Before I Knew You So Well.

11. I Still Miss You Baby, But My Aim's Gettin' Better.

12. I Wouldn't Take Her To A Dog Fight, Cause I'm Afraid She'd Win.

13. I'll Marry You Tomorrow, But Let's Honeymoon Tonight.

14. I'm So Miserable Without You; It's Like Having You Here.

15. I've Got Tears In My Ears From Lying On My Back Cryin' Over You.

16. If I Had Shot You When I Wanted To, I'd Be Out By Now.

17. My Head Hurts, My Feet Stink, And I Don't Love You.

18. My Wife Ran Off With My Best Friend and I Sure Do Miss Him.

19. Please Bypass My Heart.

20. She Got The Ring and I Got The Finger.

21. You Done Tore Out My Heart and Stomped That Sucker Flat.

22. You're the Reason Our Kids Are So Ugly.

23. Her Teeth Were Stained, But Her Heart Was Pure.

24. She's Looking Better After Every Beer.

25. I Ain't Never Gone To Bed With An Ugly Woman, But I Sure Woke Up With a Few.

#17 is actually "My Head Hurts, My Feet Stink & I Don't Love Jesus".

Also, "Drop-kick Me Jesus, Thru The Goal Posts Of Life".

Thanks AGD - I couldn't find the one you added, although I knew of its existence, but not enough to quote... :-D

And I heard that they wanted to do an Irish Folk Album too. First Single: "I can´t remember why I´m drinking to forget"...

The BBs should've just done an entire album of old drinking songs. Considering their storied history, they'd probably do a monstrous job! :lol

I guess that were the secret "The Beach Boys Meet The Pogues" sessions, then?

We could prolly do a fan mix of the Beach Boys singing drunk at concerts...got a lot to choose from, Dennis, Carl, and Brian supply enough material.

Mike Love Sings Johnny Rebel's hits on the new album 15 Big Chunks of sh*t

The Wilson brothers should've just f***ed off from The Beach Boys in 1978 to do their own thing together.

I remember that one, as done by Kinky Friedman & His Texas Jewboys, tho I couldn't wswear they were the first.
This one is more rockabilly, but has closer BB connections: 

"Love Seeps Like A Festering Sore."

I'm gonna write me a country hit called "I'm sick of your lying eyes and false teeth".

Got that one, it's on a Tammy Wynette tribute CD.

Are the Boys on it, or is it just Brian and Tammy?

That one is a duet with Brian only - the version featuring Brian and the other Beach Boys can be found on the "Nashville Sounds" DVD.

But would they have sold as many records then? Dennis' and Carl's solo albums weren't big sellers in the day. The Beach Boys are greater than the sum of the parts, that unique vocal mix which no one else has matched, although Assciation and Mamas and the Papas were pretty big, too.

Will look for that one, thanks for the tip!  :)

As a bonus track for a Stars and Stripes vol.2 they can add "Fun, Fun, Fun" which they recorded with boogie rockers Status Quo!  ;D

Same recording, but with all BB vocals except Brian's mixed out.

... those well known country and western singers!

Exactly, although IIRC the speed is a bit different. I once made a "fan edit" by replacing the "Nashville Sounds" intro (Brian was talking over it) with the "Tammy Remembered" intro, and I think I had to change the speed so it didn't sound awkward.

And the Fat Boys, did they record anything other than Wipe Out with The Fat Boys? Some single B-sides?

"Wipe out" charted quite high, I think.

#12 US, #2 UK.

That's surprising, as high as #2 in the UK. Would the Brits have remembered the Surfaris version, or maybe it was just the rap novelty. Oh well, The Beach Boys have a large and loyal fan base in the UK.

Someone did Sail On Sailor, I believe.

I have just started researching gay country (which is odd because I'm neither gay or a country fan) and here is what I came up with first:

http://www.queermusicheritage.us/mar2005.html (http://www.queermusicheritage.us/mar2005.html)

There's a lot of interesting history there and even a song to download for free ("Everytime He Sees Me" by Doug Stevens and the Outband).

So what would happen if after the Disney album Brian switches gears again and does some gay country? Would you buy it?

Gay Cowboy tunes?? Think I'll take a raincheck on that one............

I'd buy it if it was an album of gay country duets with unlikely "partners" (in the musical sense, of course).

Say, George Michael, Charles Manson, George W. Bush, Slash, Orinoco Womble... I'm sure other smilers could come up with finer suggestions, and maybe a few songs too.

How about an entire gay country duet cd project with Brian Wilson and Gene Simmons?

26. I Can't Get Over You, Until You Get Out From Under Him.

Mike can do "My Uncle used to love me but she died...".

Rodney Crowell did it live (as seen in the DVD), but there's no documentation that there was any studio recording.

here's a better question, do we even want a Stars and Stripes Vol 2?

Didn't want Stars and Stripes 1!

stealing this from a different Thread...

But how about Stars and Stripes 2  as a CD of the Beach Boys doing Country Rock songs???

"Don't Go Back To Rockville" (REM)                       - Mike lead
"Lyng Eyes" (Eagles)
"Wild Horses"  (The Flying Burrito Brothers)
"Only Love Can Break Your Heart" (Neil Young)    - Carl Lead
"Sunflower" (Glen Campbell)                                - Al lead
"Panama Red" (New Riders of the Purple Sage)   - Mike lead and Brian's Love You style Moogs
"Take It Easy"  (Eagles)
"Crazy Eyes" (Poco)                                             - Brian lead.. full Smile type production
"One Hundred Years From Now" (The Byrds)       - Al lead
"Shannon" (Henry Gross)                                     - Carl lead
"Fishin' In The Dark" (Nitty Gritty Dirt Band)         - Mike lead
"Peaceful Easy Feeling" (Eagles)

I'd have played that a whole lot more then S&S1
without Carl however, I'd say this would never now work...

this thread is baffling. cause it exists.
