I never really noticed that before... i don't know if it was intentional though, but I can see your point.

Isn't it true that, beyond his control, he had to record his accordion part separately and has never actually met Brian face to face?
478  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: The Beatles-Happy Birthday Mike Love on: December 16, 2006, 11:52:14 PM
I cannot believe that idiot Mike Love wants to remake this...

It was never meant to be released!  It was Paul and a guitar joking around for Chrissake!
479  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: The very worst Beach Boys related 'song' ever released on: December 16, 2006, 11:50:15 PM
Oh, this is easy.  "I'm In Great Shape / I Wanna Be Around / Workshop".  Utterly pointless, and the only scar on an otherwise flawless album.

When I burnt BWPS for somebody, I even cut that out.  Movement III started right at "I wanna be around my vegetables..."

So go out and buy Straight Outta Lynwood so you can hear "Pancreas".  Smiley
481  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Weird Al parodies \ on: September 08, 2006, 11:53:04 AM
It actually occured to me that the one part is NOT parodying "I'm In Great Shape", but rather, the 'cantina' bit...
482  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Weird Al parodies \ on: September 07, 2006, 11:49:05 PM
Someone on Al's forum snuck copies to a bunch of people, including myself.  And no, you can't hear it yet......

But it's definitely my favorite on that album!  I started laughing hysterically as soon as it came on, because I knew it was a Brian spoof, but I didn't expect a choir of Als to start singing "Our Prayer"  Grin

But since someone asked, I'll run through the whole thing:

* "White And Nerdy" - You can hear this on Chamillionaire's MySpace now.  I like this, because I like "Ridin' Dirty".  It takes several listens to catch all the references (Wikipedia gets a nod) but it's worth it.

* "Pancreas" - as I said, I LOVE IT!  I mean, where else can you hear Al sing about pancreatic juices in the style of "Good Vibrations"??

* "Canadian Idiot" - I've never heard Green Day's version, but this one was alright.  Kind of predictable though; it's basically just jabs at Canadian stereotypes, such as saying 'aboot'.

* "I'll Sue Ya!" - Al rattles off a list of a bunch of stupid lawsuits he wants to do, such as suing Coke because he stuck his finger in a bottle and got it stuck.  I liked this one. 

* "Polkarama" - One of my favorites on the album.  This time, Al does polka renditions of songs like "Take Me Out", "Gold Digger", "Candy Shop", "Let's Get It Started", and best of all, a hilarious version of "Drop It Like It's Hot".

* "Virus Alert" - This song sounds to me like it would belong on one of his 80's albums... it just has that vibe.  But anyway, it's a funny song about this virus on the loose that does all sorts of malicious things, like emailing all your porn to your grandma.

* "Confessions Part 3" - A parody of Usher's "Confessions Part 2".  As you can tell by the lame title, it's not a very clever parody; in fact, probably one of Al's weakest ever.  Continuing Usher's trend, Al confesses his deepest secrets to his girlfriend, including using her nose clipper and giving her herpes.  I didn't like it.

* "Weasel Stomping Day" - Probably one of the most hilariously disturbing songs in Al's canon!  This brief one minute ditty cheerily describes the joys of stomping weasels to death, with accompanying sound effects.  It was made for a cartoon ("Robot Chicken") and that's obvious... but it's still typical Al.

* "Close, But No Cigar" - One of the more anticipated songs, and pretty much a big disappointment.  This actually sounds like Al's attempt to write a REAL pop song, and it just comes off awkward.  Basically, it's a list of girls he's liked in the past, and what was wrong with them that turned him off.  Could've been better, especially after the hype.

* "Do I Creep You Out?" - A Taylor Hicks parody, and the ultimate 'creepy stalker Al' song.  Al serenades a girl about all the weird stuff he wants to do, such as putting her fingers in his mouth.  Unsettling enough to be hilarious. :-)

* "Trapped In The Drive Thru" - The crowning achievement of the album; Al's 10 minute take on "Trapped In The Closet".  I know that has been spoofed endlessly, but Al's is PERFECT, hitting on every little detail of R. Kelly's version, including the stupid echoing cliffhangers.  Probably the first Al song that made me laugh out loud the first time i heard it.

* "Don't Download This Song" - Nothing different from the version that's all over the 'net now (that's right kids, Al still says "bastard"  Roll Eyes) but I like this song, so I don't mind having to hear it again.
483  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Weird Al parodies \ on: September 07, 2006, 09:32:26 PM
Not quite - Nick and Mary Yankovic died from carbon monoxide poisoning after lighting the fireplace and forgetting to open the flue.  And of course, the media immediately made wrong conclusions - I definitely remember one report that this happened because Nick (I think) was suffering from Alzheimers, which wasn't even true.

And the Mick Jagger thing isn't quite like that either; Al wanted to parody "Ruthless People" because he was sure that it would become a hit song.  The song actually flopped, but since Al got permission, he went and recorded "Toothless People" anyway.  Today, most people aren't even aware that Al's song is a parody...
484  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Autocues. Now even Mick has one. on: September 07, 2006, 07:53:48 PM
Did anyone else notice in "Beautiful Dreamer", the autocue had the OLD song titles on it?  I think I saw "LOOK (instrumental)" on his screen... or something like that.  I'd have to watch again.
485  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Weird Al parodies "Smile"! on: September 07, 2006, 06:58:52 PM
Just heard Weird Al's new album, "Straight Outta Lynwood"... the track "Pancreas" is a DEFINITELY style parody of 'Smile'!  It's a bunch of little vignettes (about the pancreas, obviously), parodying...

* Our Prayer
* I'm In Great Shape
* Wind Chimes
* Roll Plymouth Rock
* Good Vibrations

And there's also some "God Only Knows" in there too.  It's AWESOME!!
486  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: The Beach Boys - An American Family on: July 17, 2006, 09:43:41 PM
Ohhh, I know which one you're talking about.  I saw it on TV when I was a wee lad... only thing I remember really is Dennis drowning, and the ghostly voice of Brian yelling "DENNIS!  DENNIS!  NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Dear God...
487  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: SMiLE -- Olivio Frut Mix (is up again!) on: July 15, 2006, 10:54:20 AM
That's the best interpretation of "I'm In Great Shape" that I've heard yet.  Good mix.
488  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Trying to make a complete discography... on: July 09, 2006, 02:37:58 PM
That post was just a rough list of stuff I was planning to include on a discography that has not yet been seen by anyone but me.

Of course, I would credit the sources on the final version.
489  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Rock & Roll Again - a Mike Love album? on: July 08, 2006, 07:43:51 PM
I've found a picture and no other info about an LP called "Rock & Roll Again" which is supposedly a collab between Mike and Dean Torrence...

Does anyone know about this???
490  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Trying to make a complete discography... on: July 08, 2006, 07:41:31 PM
Well, it could've been even worse - I considered including the Flames, Blondie, Rikki, and Glen Campbell.  But I refuse to branch it out that far - "The Rutles" wouldn't seem right in a Beach Boys discography!!  Not sure about David Marks yet either; he was in too many weird, non-BBs bands.

And Andrew, how do you know you're not credited?  I haven't even released it yet...  Undecided
491  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Stars And Stripes Vol. 2? on: July 07, 2006, 11:48:10 PM
The only slated track for the unreleased "S&S 2" I can find is Tammy Wynette's cover version of "In My Room"... have any other slated tracks for this album been mentioned??
492  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Cousins, Friends, and Brothers - lost album? on: July 07, 2006, 11:35:32 PM
I saw a mention on some forum of an unreleased 1982 album called "Cousins Friends and Brothers", many songs from which were re-used elsewhere...

Anyone have more information about this?
493  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Trying to make a complete discography... on: July 07, 2006, 10:59:35 PM
I'm trying to compile the most complete album discography possible...  So it doesn't get too hectic, I have it split into eight sections.  However, perhaps someone more knowledgeable than me could scan over the list of albums I've included to see if any unreleased stuff is missing?  That's the only stuff I'm not sure about (and yes, I know about that 'The Ones That Got Away' page)...   If you see something missing, tell me please!

494  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: The Beach Boys: Smile--A Stereo Reconstruction by Purple Chick on: July 06, 2006, 10:46:27 PM
Yes, where can one get this "MOK mix"?
495  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: The Beach Boys: Smile--A Stereo Reconstruction by Purple Chick on: July 06, 2006, 11:02:00 AM
It's nice, but it's flawed, especially the bad slow-down effects (the end of "Look" suffers considerably). 

But if anything, it showed how complete "Smile" actually was, and if Brian could've gotten his act together, it could've been finished.
496  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / In My Childhood? on: July 04, 2006, 10:04:28 AM
Did the original version of "You Still Believe In Me" ever emerge on a bootleg??
497  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Van Dyke is... weird on: June 27, 2006, 03:36:47 PM
Well, OK, what should I say back to him then?
498  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Van Dyke is... weird on: June 27, 2006, 01:40:34 PM
Of course it's true, what the hell else do you think him and Brian did in that tent?  Razz
499  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Van Dyke is... weird on: June 27, 2006, 01:16:34 PM
That's me... he saw the name that sent the e-mail.

I only asked him politely that I heard some strange track about Brian falling into a piano, and since he was on it too, I was curious to know what it was recorded for...

But if he's dissin' me, I'ma smack him harder than a dude'll-doo.  :D

Luther, have you ever lived inside a drum?
