It all gets pretty low during Breakaway, although apparently it's Murry on some of those notes, my memory fails me at present.

So, if Carl's (or possibly Bruce's) A5 in "Surf's Up" is the highest noted reached by a Beach Boy on record, what's the lowest? Top of my head, I'd say the F that Dennis sings in "Shortenin' Bread" ("Mama's little baby loves shortenin', shortenin'..."). Any lower? Is there an E somewhere?

Mike hits a low E twice in the last 4 bars of the bridge on "Wouldn't It Be Nice."
I believe that's Dennis singing those bass notes on WIBN

I know it's Dennis doing the low part during the verses, but the bridge bass part always souded like Mike to me.  It would seem odd to have somebody other than Mike singing the bass part for an entire song.  Guess I'll have to give it another listen!

In preparing for a Beach Boys tribute gig, I noticed another high one for the vocals...there's a bunch of high F#s and Gs on the backups to "Do You Wanna Dance."  Presumably Brian on all (though I'm only sure it's him on the chorus).

So none lower than Mike's WIBN 'E' than? That means we have a BB range on record from E2 to A5, right? That's impressive.

Another related question: what's the loudest note ever sung on a BB record? With that, I don't mean loudest as it comes out of your speakers but rather what would've sounded the loudest had you been in the studio when they recorded it. Naturally, we can only speculate about this ... but that's what we do here, right?  Smiley My suggestion: Brian's "Iiiiiiiiii" in the verses of the early version of "Good Vibrations".

Oh I'd say Brian's "Papa Papa Papa HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" was a good bit louder than that.  I bet people were covering their ears on that one...

Surely the coda to that song, if mixed at its natural level, would take the prize here!
