The Smiley Smile Message Board

The title of the new BB single is technically untrue:

"God Only Knows"

If he is, he does.

Edit: Darn… now I see what I wrote and it ain't.

I'm In Great Shape

The Boys themselves aren't taking the title all that seriously -- the running gag onstage during the Atlanta soundcheck was "Wasn't that Marconi?".  :lol

"That's Not Me"


Mike, don't lie to me. It clearly is you.

I though Marconi played the mamba. ???

IJWMFTT - yes he was, made the best 60's record. Brian woulda been a fine hipster in these days, but better back then.

Wouldnt It Be Nice - generally not, most likely not.

That's Not Me - so you claim dude.

You Still Believe In Me - Tell me how the f*ck you know that Brian???????

'Everyone's In Love With You' - no they aren't, Mike.

"Love Is A Woman"

No, he ain't:

(http://www.cokemachineglow.com/images/7852.jpg)

C'mon, Mike.  Please just wear this get up one more time, you know, for the celebration.




Really, wouldn't you guys just crap your drawers if Mike came out like this, and Al with his Keep It Clean with Al Jardine shirt, and Brian in his bathrobe, and Bruce in his...ummm...shorts....ummm....well, the first three anyway.

"I'm bugged at my old man"-Neither Brian Nor Murry were Insects..

Sadly, for many periods of the group history: "Friends"

All This Is in fact, not That

Life is for the living - oh the irony...

Love to say Dada...

PROVE IT THEN!

"Bluebirds over the mountains" -because there isn't enough oxygen and they would die in most cases,,unless it's a small mountain...
"Cottenfields"-what can i say they are white and only black people work in the cotten fields..
"whistle in"-since it's the last song shouldn't it really be "whistle out"?
"getting hungry"-they aren't cannibals...or ARE they? hmmmmm.
"the surfer moon"-wouldn't the moon be too big and cause a lot of destruction if it decided to go surfing?
"Baby blue"-doesn't make sense unless you are a smurf

"Child Is Father of the Man"

"You Need a Mess of Help to Stand Alone" 

That's kinda true, in a chicken and egg sense. Plus, it's not strictly theirs....  ;D

"I Was Made To Love Her"

"Busy Doin' Nothin'"

Best one.

"Everybody wants to live"

 ::)

Was he in crumby shape in 1966?

Brian wasn't near his worst in 1966 but "great shape" no.

Stark naked, in front of my mirror, a pudgy person somehow did appear.

"Friends" - To date, all of the Beach Boys have rebuffed my effort to be friends. Let's be friends, indeed! Rotten liars!

Do You Remember? Cos I don't.

A friend of mine told me that "Meant For You" was, actually, meant for him. What the hell?

"Surfin' USA" - because 1) there's an Australian spot mentioned, and 2) all the other spots are southern California.

"Forever" -- it's only a couple of minutes long.

"Make It Good" -- he didn't. (Sorry. It HAD To be said.)

"Take A Load Off Your Feet" -- are you nuts?? With the obesity epidemic?!

"Crack At Your Love" -- I've never witnessed anybody moon Mike.

"Passing Friend" -- if you listen to the lyrics carefully, the friend did not pass -- he failed. That's the problem.

"Summer Means New Love" -- uh uh. Summer means the season between spring and autumn, in the Northern Hemisphere from the summer solstice to the autumnal equinox, and in the Southern Hemisphere from the winter solstice to the vernal equinox.

Where I Belong- Well, if Carl knew where he belonged, why did he leave the group in the early 80s? (just playing, I know it was written later after he came back) but then again, he went on to do another solo album.

Carl's Big Chance- yeah, may have been his big chance but prolly one of the least remembered tune on ASL.

Being with the One you Love- Landy's with Brian, does that mean something?

Lonely Sea- the sea is actually highly populated.

California Calling- the Boys may be calling California, but nobody's picking up

Punchline- a TOTAL lie, there's no joke nor punchline to the joke, just the reaction to the joke.  ;)

Everything I Need- Sure, Brian was saying he needed daughters....but he forgot to mention a grand piano, 2 dozen of steaks, 3 birthday cakes, 2 copies of Love You on vinyl, 2 copies of Friends on Vinyl, 1 copy of 20/20, 50 45 singles of Be My Baby, 2 copies of Randy Newman's Sail Away, and one copy of Holland with Mt. Vernon and Fairway.

Can't Wait Too Long-turns out both BB mixes are too long (but I don't mind)...and really, we waited too long for it to come out on TLOS

"Let's Go To Heaven In My Car". Not a song about Brian deliberately driving he and someone else off of a cliff in an attempt to murder both of them as I had initially thought. Not even a fucking song about flying cars or anything, not even a little.

Yeah, my joke on that one is "Carl's Big Chance? Well, I guess he fucked that one up."

Denny's Drums- Are they his drums or Hal's?

Keep an Eye on Summer- I think they let Murry "keep his eye" on that summer  ;)

Brian's Back- is it hairy?

We Got Love- being an elementary teacher, I think it's "We Have Love."

We Gotta Groove- I don't even know where to start there....is it We have to Groove? We Got to Groove (on outta here)? or We don't Gotta Lyric?

Mama Says- I think it's more of what Brian says!

"Brian's Back" was about 20 years premature.

His.

OK, but did he OWN those drums?

I can't imagine this could get anymore ridiculous.

"Help Me  Rhonda"-he has already been helped by Ronda,why put another person with a similar name in the same situation..
"All dressed up for school"- as far as I know they never went to catholic school
"Make it big"-Unless they take viagra I have a hard time believing this one..
"it's ok"-No it's "Okay"
"time to get alone"-no it's time to record a song titled "time to get alone" also if you wanted a Loan why don't you go to the bank..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwslLBfFvJM

Yes, and even more so in 67 when that song would've been released

"Let's Put Our Hearts Together" blood and pain will follow shortly by death...

"Had To Phone Ya" No you didn't!

hahahahhaha, nice one

Is it not conceivable that maybe the "OK" was referring to Oklahoma? After all, another song on the same album talks about going "back home" to Ohio (which also is incorrect, btw, unless Al were to sing it, which he did in 1963)...

That's Al on the '63 Back Home?

I'm going to listen........

No, it's Brian on the '63 "Back Home". Al sings the version from the Sunflower era.

I'm in Great Shape: "No your not!" Says little Nicola

Not a title, of course, but...

"Cool water is such a gas"

Every time I hear that, I think "No, Mike. It's a liquid."

Private Life of Bill and Sue - it doesn't sound that private, with camera crews and all.

Strage World - it's not that strange, really. It's the only one we got and everyone's living in it.

Was Nicola one of the Beatle's kids or just a random kid?

omg yes, and he says it so conceitedly as if it's some supreme pearl of wisdom aihdshauidhiualhdiulahdiulHIUGHIUGFUIFGIUFSGUGBCUCUCHuh. sorry, i just really hate that lyric  :'(

"such a gas" is/was a saying to mean cool back in the 60s/70s. See also - fab, gear, groovy, hip. Not to be meant in the literal sense. :)

Ten Little Indians--No, there's more than only ten in the world.
Heads You Win, Tails I Lose--not always!
The Surfer Moon--The moon doesn't surf--or are they referring to a game surfers play where they moon each other?
In My Room--at the time the song was written, no. More like in Diane, Marilyn and Barbara's room at the Rovell's!
Surfers Rule--not in the Midwest. You can't surf on Lake Michigan!
Our Favorite Recording Sessions--considering that Murry was still managing and bullying the guys in the studio at this time, I doubt that they could name any "favorite" sessions during this time (not until after Murry was fired)!
Don't Back Down--Brian was still backing down to Murry's demands at this time!
Do You Like Worms?--never heard any stories about any of the BBs having pet worms--unless maybe Brian's dogs had worms. Maybe that's why Brian's dogs were going to the bathroom in his sandbox!
Country Air--in Los Angeles?!?
Let the Wind Blow--the wind blows by itself; it doesn't need permission for humans to "let" it blow!
Be Still--Uh, womanizer Dennis was far from ever being "still!"
I Went To Sleep--no, you didn't. If you went to sleep, you wouldn't be singing to us right now!
Had to Phone Ya--I don't think Dr. Landy allowed Brian to "phone" anyone (not without supervision, anyway)
Summer of Love--in 1992?!? I don't think so. In '92, you had the Rodney King verdict and the riots that ensued, during which people hardly showed much "love!"
Rainbow Eyes--I have yet to encounter anyone whose eyes resemble a rainbow in any form!
How Can We Still Be Dancing?--simple. We stand up, and then we move our legs and feet! Not hard to figure out!

 there's only 10 "little" indians 
HYW-TIL different worlds 
TSM- It's like the harvest moon, It's seasonal 
IMR- Those WERE Brian's Room(s)
SR- Yes, Surfers Rulle everywhere, you just don't see
OFRS- We all have favorites, whether Dad lets us or not 
DBD-  Naw, he was blowing smoke up dad's arse 
DYLW- It's a question not a statement 
CA- sure; it was in the pot 
LTWB-  oh man, I'm tired........

Yes, I know. But it's still funny. 
I'm also familiar with the use of the word in Brian's Jan & Dean song "New Girl In School". ("They really dig her, now , she's such a gas..")

That Same Song. - not true. They are different. i listened. ;D
Love is a Woman - enough said. ;)

I'll Bet He's Nice - Actually, he's a tremendous douchebag.

Do you like worms? -Hell no!!!!! they are hard on my digestive system,at least they keep me thin  ;D

I really almost don't want to say this one ...but I will (and pre-apologise if some find it in bad taste)

Forever - erm, no,in this case about 14 years. :(

Sorry.

At my Window - also a lie, i'm at my computer (as are you). :)

Classic  :lol

Then I Kissed Her: Al was still a virgin at the time.  :-D

Here's the thing about that song - "I kissed her in a way that I never kissed a girl before".  Admit it, you never kissed a boy that way either.  Feigning bisexuality to appear more interesting may have worked for Bowie, but you're just not cut out for it, Al.

I don't have it on hand, but doesn't Mike sing the '63 version?

I'm nearly positive that's Brian. But maybe my ears are deceiving me.

It's Brian.

I thought Rocky Pamplin / Jeff Foskett sang the '63 version.

I had plans for reviving this fun thread much earlier (circa January-February this year), but somehow forgot about its existence & only now remembered. Anyway, here's new ideas:

Sweet Mountain - never heard mountain is a confectionery.
Almost Summer - it's autumn now.
Goin' to the Beach - as if there's no other place to go.
You're Still a Mystery - no one is a mystery, let alone still. It's a very misguided statement.
Concert Tonight - not around here.
Saturday Morning In the City - here, it's Tuesday already.
Rainbow Eyes - 7-colored eyes are impossible.
Everybody Wants to Live - sadly, no. Some people commit suicide & mostly due to the stupid reasons imo.
I Believe in Miracles - rubbish.
Summer Means Fun - well, I don't like summer.

I'd Love Just Once To See You (in the nude)?

Well, only if he was singing about his wife's sisters...

We'll Run Away - He did quite the opposite I hear.
Don't Hurt My Little Sister - what sister?
Our Favourite Recording Session - well maybe it was true then, but I doubt it's true now
Surf's Up - an intentional, blatant lie
Sail Plane Song - It's about an airplane. It's in the first line...
Everyone's in love With You - I was under the impression that at least John Lennon was pretty disillusioned

bonus:
I Write the Songs - Unless you're Bruce then nope, you didn't write that one. And if you are Bruce that's still a lie.

Double post.

Post of the millennium!  :lol :lol :lol

No, but he does wander down to the front to sing it. ;D

"Post of the millennium!" - my reply's funny too, start to finish. Besides, *I* revived this thread.

Re: "Cottonfields" - Tell Johnny Cash that only Black people worked the cotton fields.

This is fun thread. With new albums by Brian/ Mike, here's new additions:

"Ram Raj" - anagram to the real title
"On The Island" - Brian is city dweller
"Our Special Love" - contrary to popular belief, it's not dedicated to Mike.
"Pisces Brothers" - there's no such famous brother name. Warner Brothers, Everly Brothers, Walker Brothers - yes. But not Pisces.
"Too Cruel" - Mike is vegetarian
"Runaway Dancer" - Sebu likes to dance but he didn't run away from stage, going by youtube vids.
"Half Moon Bay" - wait, is it half moon bay or half moon bay?
-------------------------------
"Mexican Girl" - what if she's Tex-Mex?
"Nearest Faraway Place" - wha'?
"The Wanderer" - Dennis stays put playing drums, doesn't walk around beating march band drums
"East Meets West" - when it's west's turn to meet east?
"Hey Everybody" - apparently everybody listens to American Spring & they greet, well, everybody.
"Mrs. O'Leary's Cow" - is it really?

Good to revive the thread, RR.

Let's Go Trippin' - Were the Beach Boys "trippin'" that early?

Surfin, Surfin Safari, etc - everyone knows Dennis was the only one who surfed

Warmth of the Sun - the sun is actually extremely HOT, not merely warm

Catch a Wave - good luck with that. once you do it's just seawater, not a wave

All Summer Long - you can't have fun ALL summer long. you've got to sleep sometime

The Man With All the Toys - ALL the toys? what about the ones from last year. and the year before that?

Good To My Baby - that's not what I heard, Mike.

When I Grow Up - they were basically all of legal age at the time

Let Him Run Wild - seems dangerous. I say let's call the cops

The Little Girl I Once Knew - technically she is indeed the same girl

Hang On To Your Ego - your ego is an intangible thing

Good Vibrations - we know that tensions were high around this time, with Brian even cancelling sessions due to "bad vibes"

Wake the World - good luck with that as well. some people are very heavy sleepers

It's About Time - seems to be about other things really

Only With You - come on, Dennis.

It's Over Now - no the song is still playing

;D

bossaroo!  :lol :lol :lol

Spring Vacation - "summer weather, we're back together"  Spring or summer, which is it?

The Man With All the Toys - If he gives them out every Christmas, then he can't possibly have ALL the toys, can he? 

Santa's Beard - Silly me, I thought that was about Mrs. Claus and a secret sexual preference for the big man

Kokomo - Hard to get a tropical contact high in Indiana. 

Wake the World - You can't wake the whole world to a brand new morning because it's not morning everywhere.   

Busy Doin Nothin - That's a lot of effort to make a phone call.    Not exactly nothin'
