Besides 'Good Vibrations', obviously.
It probably doesn't happen very often that a band changes it's style so drastically between two albums that almost none of the songs on those albums would have worked on the other album.
The only 'Smile' songs that I think could work on 'Pet Sounds' are 'Wonderful' (musically, not lyrically) and 'Our Prayer'. Vice versa, probably just the song 'Pet Sounds'.
Thoughts?

The ones that don't feel to out of place imo are the ones recorded at the beginning so Good Vibrations early Wonderful, Windchimes and Look. Conversely could any Pet Sounds songs exist within Smile? Maybe the I Just Wasn't Made For These Times track? Trombone Dixie?

There's something whimsical about "Trombone Dixie" that would probably make it fit right in on "Pet Sounds".
On the other hand, I can't hear any "SMiLE" songs, with the exception of "Good Vibrations"--and that's just a big maybe--fitting in on "Pet Sounds". Musically, "Wonderful" is a nice link between the two records, but lyrically it would have felt very out of place.

I can't see any
Smile
songs being a good fit on
Pet Sounds
, except
maybe
"Wonderful". That's kind of why I like the album, though. But I always thought "Trombone Dixie" and "Let's Go Away For A While" were kind of proto-
Smile
in style.

The two albums are just too different. I think any swapped songs between them would stick out.

I think "Child Is Father Of The Man" has a
Pet Sounds
like sound to it. It doesn't have as much of the colorful "psychedelic" sound as most of the rest of
SMiLE
does, and it strikes me as "serious" music, like nearly all of
Pet Sounds
does. I'd also say that musically "Surf's Up" also seems somewhat in line with the
Pet Sounds
aesthetic, although I think the lyrics don't so much. But yeah, I think "Child..." could definitely fit snugly on
Pet Sounds
.
As far as songs from
Pet Sounds
fitting in on
SMiLE
, I think maybe "Here Today" with different lyrics could. Maybe "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times". And the title track, too.

Wind Chimes (an early version) could possibly work. The sad lyric is there, in a sort of "I just wasn't made for these times" vein. The August 3 WC session has some of the Pet Sounds plushness to it.

Sloop John B might fit in the Roll Plymouth Rock section, or after H&V . The other Pet Sounds material is too personal, although Caroline No and Wonderful were both on the Don Was/IJWMFTT album.
