Rodney On The Roq

[ghost]

When I saw BW in Kansas City in 2001, I asked Darian about the song, and he turned to Paley and said, "that's all him."  I think it was the theme song to Rodney's radio show at the time, and was not just for the movie.

That's cool. So let me get this straight. Brother of ours here posts a link and we all show enthusiasm thinking that Brian wrote it or at least had a big hand in it and thought what a groovy thing it was. So we enjoy it but now that we think it's Andy Paley OH BIG DUMB WRESTLER it's lame? f*ck no!

Paley was never a wrestler, and I don't see people changing their minds now that they know he's responsible for it. Listening again, it's more Brian Wilson than Brian Wilson, meaning it has sounds (like the surf guitar) that people associate with him but that he didn't really use all that much. So it makes sense that it's not him but someone who sounds like him. But I love it, regardless of who did it.

I think you have your facts mistaken. Andy Paley was the wrestler. Joe Thomas was the orange.

And who was the walrus?

Bruce Johnston during his mustache phase.

Billy Shears was the walrus.

Actually, let's be logical here - if I am you, and you are me, and we just happen to be all together, and I am the walrus, then you're also the walrus... we're all the walrus.

I thought John said the walrus was Paul.

BUMP.

Had this track on loop for the past half hour. Gotta be my favorite Brian lead from his solo years. I never thought I'd use "swag" and "Brian Wilson" in the same sentence, but he absolutely swags the hell out of this vocal. The 1st verse is so freakin ace.

It was recorded sometime in 2002-03, I believe.

So does that make this the final collab between BW & Paley?

Don't know, but I definitely heard it in March 2001 when Foskett played it off a CD at a private concert. And as a prior post mentioned, it was the theme song for Rodney Bingenheimer's radio show. According to Jeff, Rodney had been seeking out a theme song for years and wasn't happy with anything until he got what he commissioned from Brian. It wasn't meant to be a whole song from start to finish -- the way it was recorded it was meant to be edited into several shorter bits that Rodney would use for various parts of his show -- intro, outtro, going out to breaks, coming back from breaks, etc. I forgot who all was on it, but Jeff said he was on it as well as Andy Paley.
