Noises and Oddities in Beach Boys Recordings

" 2:26 Carl says "I love you" it is intentional, but I don't like it"

I love the original piano demo of "Surfin' Jew".

Let's Put Our Farts Together


*is immediately handed $20,000 check*

voting for Pet Sounds even though I feel like an evil child-murderer for doing so

Gonna go with Summer Means New Love, compared to the Pet Sounds instrumentals it just feels bland to me.

"The way he's kept it up could make you cry" --Brian Wilson, stunned and amazed to behold Johnny Carson's ability to have an erection for extended periods of time

Smart Girls is not meant to be understood, it can scarcely be comprehended. I honestly wonder how much time and effort was expended on this track?

I love how little effort Dennis puts into trying to lip-sync to the record.

What if the Beach Boys....were CANADIAN?!?

I've got David Byrne tied up in my basement right now!! Somebody make some calls, we've got a reunion to force!!

Man, I never even noticed the laughing kids or the weird discordant harmonica in Wonderful until now. This friggin' album.

My favorite part about the article is how Holidays is a 'Zappa-esque romp'.

Do the lyrics of Feel Flows actually mean anything, or is it just "I'M JACK REILLY AND THIS IS COOL AS HELLLLLL *hits bong"?

I always liked the "ahhh" at the beginning of GV here. Carl sounds so calm and serene on the studio version, yet here he sings it as if he just stubbed his toe.

I would say that though Sunflower is certainly a more consistent album, the high points of Surf's Up easily trump the highs of Sunflower, however much I may be pilloried for saying so.

Also, I can understand why people would dislike Take a Load and Don't Go Near the Water, both of those tracks have grown on me. At least they both have relatively interesting arrangements (especially Water, if it weren't for the cringeworthy lyrics that would be a first-rate track IMO).

Student Demonstration Time can eat a bag of dicks, though.

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

I don't see how it can't be both a car AND a woman. You guys ever see Christine?

Why on earth do people keep screaming "RIGHT!!!" during 'The Times They Are a-Changin'"?

Big brains are AWESOME, DUDE!!!!

Honestly, I'm glad it exists. It's such a jarring and terrible idea that it manages to transcend simple badness and rise up to a level of purely bizarre comedy. I especially love the loud and jarring samples.

1. Why does Brian try so hard to not look at his wind chimes? They are so peaceful and calming...are they cursed?

2. Am I the only one who is slightly unnerved by the line "Why don't you love her like her big brother" in Don't Hurt My Little Sister? Maybe I've been watching too much Game of Thrones.
