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.  Grin

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.

Two songs left that are not so good... One's silly (but fun), one's just boring. So that makes it kind of easy:

Full Sail.

Hey Little Tomboy. It really should already have been out by now.

Oh Darlin'.

I don't understands all the votes for Some of Your Love. Nice, sunny song with a brilliant hook.

OK, looks like it's just me then, but seriously, I DO NOT HEAR IT.
It's funny how these things can work, I guess. More than once I read about how you noticed H&V or Shortenin' Bread riffs in certain other BW compositions, and that I just could not hear them... (can't think of which specific songs right now, but it's happened a few times).

I certainly hear the resemblance to the "I wrote the number down / But I lost it" part from 'Busy Doin' Nothing'. But it's much more likely a coincidence than a ripoff.
185  Smiley Smile Stuff / Polls / Re: Beach Boys Survivor #26: M.I.U. Album on: March 31, 2014, 06:45:22 AM
Hey Little Tomboy.

A lame song and I absolutely hate the lyrics. Just shouldn't excist.

Oh Darlin' and Sunshine are equally bad IMO, but since Sunshine seems to have a much better chance of being voted out now:

Sunshine.

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.

Funny, both on 15 Big Ones and Love You the song that I thought would easily win finished second.
196  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: What kind of material should the band have released instead of \ on: March 26, 2014, 12:00:39 AM
I love the double album idea. If 15 is some sort of crazy mess, imagine what a spectacularly crazy mess a crushing dose of it would've been!

It could have been a cool double album if it would've had only originals on one disc and only covers on the other.
197  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Which version of Big Sur do you prefer? on: March 24, 2014, 11:58:21 PM
Easily the Holland version for me. I never understood why most people prefer the 4/4 version.

The Night Was So Young, hands down.
199  Smiley Smile Stuff / Polls / Re: Beach Boys Survivor #24 Final Round: 15 Big Ones on: March 24, 2014, 07:51:34 AM
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.

Someone should tell whoever made this video that bizarre isn't automatically the same thing as funny.
