who sings what part of Good Vibrations? Here's my guess:


Mike sings "I'm picking up good vibrations, she's giving me excitations".


After all the interviews, after all the times, after 50 years of Mike dining out on the word ex-citations, you still had to guess on that one?

Mike and Carl I pretty much know for sure, the rest are guesses

who sings what part of Good Vibrations? Here's my guess:

Carl sings the lead (i like the colorful clothes she wears, softly smile i know she must be kind etc)
Mike sings "I'm picking up good vibrations, she's giving me excitations".
Brian sings "good good good good vibrations" and the "na na na na na na na na"
Al sings "I don't know where but she sends me there" and "got to keep those loving good vibrations a happenin' with her"
Carl Dennis Al and Bruce all do the "mmm bop bop"
Bruce says the "ah my what elations"

one thing i thought would be interesting is if the Carl of 1976 goes back to 1964 and brings the sheet music and lyrics to the entire So Tough/Holland catalog and tell them to record it in place of SDV2 and ASL. Would it have been considered groundbreaking if CATP and Holland were released in 1964 or would people have been like WTF?
129  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / if their older selves went back to 1964, what would they say on: November 09, 2012, 09:31:24 AM
to themselves?  (and since Denny and Carl are dead I'll say their 15 Big Ones selves) . Would it be like "Back To The Future 2" where they don't say they are their older selves but rather "a distant relative". Like Biff in BTTF2, do they come with an almanac of sorts (the equivalent here being the words to all the good songs written by other groups) to make it so all their music tops the charts?

Always thought this video from EH segues the loss of Dennis with instant cheese!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bX2wAvLdBPA

is that scene where they're taken out of a car on a surfboard from Wakiki in '86?
131  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Five Things Dennis Would Be Doing If He Came Back To Life For One Day on: November 09, 2012, 09:23:36 AM
1. hit on any of his bandmates children (since their wives or ex wives would be too old for him)
2. tell Mike off one last time
3. appear on The Tonight Show or something like that
4. Guzzle down some four locos
5. piss on Landy's grave.

does this remind anyone of Pet Sounds:

133  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Thread for various insignificant questions that don't deserve their own thread! on: November 04, 2012, 03:07:20 AM
did it seem like Carl was better at hiding a lot of his problems as opposed to Dennis and Brian?
134  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / most generic sounding BB song? on: November 02, 2012, 05:15:41 PM
By that I mean something that sounds almost like a parody of themselves and something you'd see on This Is Spinal Tap? IMO, I think In The Parking Lot sounds as generic as you can get. The layered harmonies at the beginning and end, the fast music and Chuck Berry-like guitar in the middle and the "do-ron de ron" harmonies to accompany Mike is almost like a recipe on how to right an (old) Beach Boys song.
135  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Thread for various insignificant questions that don't deserve their own thread! on: October 31, 2012, 06:16:44 PM

yep
136  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Thread for various insignificant questions that don't deserve their own thread! on: October 31, 2012, 03:04:41 PM

love that fake british accent of Mike's
137  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Thread for various insignificant questions that don't deserve their own thread! on: October 31, 2012, 06:52:12 AM
in what interview did Dennis make the "Al looks like a guy waiting for a bus" comment? It seems like a negative connotation and I thought Dennis and Al got along?
138  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Thread for various insignificant questions that don't deserve their own thread! on: October 29, 2012, 07:01:37 PM
were they ashamed of the song "Luau" since it never got on any album or even compilation?
139  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Which Beach Boys \ on: October 28, 2012, 03:39:54 PM
I honestly find Carl & The Passions as a whole overrated. I love "Here She Comes" and "All This is That", but that's really it. The rest range from decent (YNAMOHTSA) to bizarre and laughable (He Come Down, Denny's schaltz-fests).

Part of what puts it off for me is the length of the tracks. Nearly every song is over 3 and a half minutes, with two of the worst (Cuddle Up and Hold On, Dear Brother) dragging on for over five minutes.

Also, I never liked "Do it Again". It sounded like the bland reunion song TWGMTR could have turned out to be (and thankfully, didn't).

haha that's like my favorite album. ITs them basically experimenting with different sounds. Make It Good and Cuddle Up sort of sound like precursors to stuff in POB. "Hold On Dear Brother" is them trying to sound like Neil Young.
140  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Which Beach Boys \ on: October 27, 2012, 10:43:58 AM
"Be True To Your School"

for me, it depends which one. I hate the one with the Rovell sisters but I like the ES version.

Kokomo
Surfer Girl

That footage was shot July 28th 1962: the first known photo of the band dates from March 10th the same year (below), although Alan's mother once made reference to some publicity shots taken in fall 1961.



thanks! BTW, do you know the date of this one picture of the band where Mike is playing the sax and Carl and Dave have that look on their face like "who the f--- is taking this picture"?
143  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Thread for various insignificant questions that don't deserve their own thread! on: October 26, 2012, 01:00:31 AM
When was the first film or picture of the beach boys shot/taken? My guess would be this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOg1MxozVPc

This looks Fall 1962.
144  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: what two BB songs would sound good mashed together? on: October 25, 2012, 08:34:34 AM
another thing that would be interesting would be to mash up two songs from different eras. Like the lyrics of surfer girl to the backing track of "Sail on Sailor".
145  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / what two BB songs would sound good mashed together? on: October 25, 2012, 03:35:31 AM
for instance, the lyrics of "Don't Go Near the Water" mixed with the backing track of "Wouldn't It Be Nice".
146  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / after Holland, did it seem like they gave up? on: October 22, 2012, 12:03:41 PM
In the "An American Family" miniseries, I found it interesting that it ended with them touring and playing their oldies as a "high note" to end on. Was the mentality sort of "This is as good as its gonna get so lets ride this for what its worth"? I think people blame Mike too much for destroying the group's creativity, but Carl and Dennis, despite being seen as more musically progressive, were equally as guilty.
147  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Thread for various insignificant questions that don't deserve their own thread! on: October 20, 2012, 09:07:53 PM
does anyone know what Dennis thought of Bruce? I know Dennis always had issues with Mike and since Bruce is often seen as Mike's puppet, then I've wondered if Dennis had any hostility towards him.
148  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Thread for various insignificant questions that don't deserve their own thread! on: October 17, 2012, 09:43:41 PM
was Murry's resentment of Hollywood due to the fact that they never gave himself a record deal years earlier?
149  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Thread for various insignificant questions that don't deserve their own thread! on: October 16, 2012, 02:17:21 AM
if Brian hadn't have succumbed to mental illness in 1967, does anyone see them sounding like procol harum, given the direction the band was going?
150  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / what do you think real surfers thought of the beach boys? on: October 13, 2012, 09:58:53 AM
considering Dennis was the only surfer in the group, is it possible that the beach boys were seen as ho-dads (which  means poser surfer)? The stereotype of surfers as a bunch of clean cut all american types that you get from stuff like "Beach Blanket Bingo" isn't true. A more accurate depiction of surfers would be from something like "Lords of Dogtown."
