That’s the only album of theirs that I can listen to. I may be a millennial, but after that album, I only like the songs “Death of a Bachelor” and “Impossible Year” because of the Sinatra style.
No love for A Fever You Can Swear Out? The structures on some of those songs are wicked good. The arrangements are pretty good too, much less organic than Pretty.Odd. but honestly, not a slight as every song on that record has great textures. Death of a Bachelor is a distant third but yeah, those first two are classics that hold their ground.

Does anybody know of which “Shortnin’ Bread” rendition that Brian was most familiar with?
If it wasn't from hearing Audree (or someone else he knew) singing it, I'm guessing it's the version by The Andrews Sisters. The UK vocal group The Viscounts did a rocking version in 1960 but I doubt whether it got heard in the States. Everything else is too old, too new or too different! Dang, was hoping for a more definitive answer! The version by the Andrew Sisters is the one I’m most familiar with, but I thought there must be another that I’ve overlooked as I haven’t quite designated it “the greatest song in the world” yet... (that said, it is infectious--do I get to keep my BW points? ) That Viscounts version is rockin’ though! Perhaps Alice Cooper knows which version Brian loved...or (past-tense) knew...possibly the slate has been wiped clean through years of therapy

This discovery makes Al's version on A Postcard from California infinitely hilarious. Brian's resolved to playing this gag till the grave - I love it.

Non Smiley Smile Stuff / The Sandbox / "Honkin' Down the Highway" is a euphemism for ejaculating into a vagina

Suddenly Al's assertion that he's taking it "one little inch at a time until we're feeling fine" makes a lot more sense, as does his cheeky little piece of meta-commentary where he asserts that he's got a "way with girls" with a wink and grin. Brian played his ultimate practical joke when he unleashed a record with such a bizarre euphemism for honking down a highway as a single. I bet he loved how he got not only Al Jardine but Billy Hinsche to sing it
