Nobody claimed that it was exactly the same. Somebody noted a similarity and it seems that the majority here (at least kind of) agrees with the original poster. How does that make us all "crazy" or "obsessive"?
That phrase was said in jest, actually. I'm as obsessive as the next Smiler & also like analyzing things but come on, making a thread out of noting a similarity with a Friends song which is really not much? This is a Beach Boys forum. Discussing completely unimportant Beach Boys-related issues is what we're supposed to do here. If I want to discuss serious, important issues, I go somewhere else. If I want to talk about matrix numbers of a Brazilian pressing of a Beach Boys single, Brian Wilson's socks or a vague resemblance between 'Busy Doin' Nothing' and an Oreo jingle, I go here. But maybe that does make us all a little bit crazy.

And we call Beatles fans crazy? This thread is evidence of opposite. The rhythm may be similar, yet it falls short of 2 notes in-between, suddenly starts with the BDN "...lovely place"/"...do it right" pattern. So yep, we're being too obsessive with our BBs fandom here.

Along with the "Brian Wilson is God and here's a photo of him holding a picture of his lowly servants like he's God" picture people love to use when slighting everyone else in the band? It's a matter of interpretation. It's Brian, on his own, at home, looking a bit sad, holding a picture of the other guys smiling, being together. He looks more pitiful than superior to me.

I like all three. But 'Just Once in My Life' isn't as good as the Righteous Brothers version. And 'Had to Phone Ya' is cool but a big lightweight. I vote for the song that actually manages to recapture some of the magic of the earliest Beach Boys hits:
It's OK.
