After reading Holy Bee's post over in the Do You Like Worms thread, I found that I couldn't stop thinking about his theory. It's not that it's likely (it's not), it's weirdly compelling though, and I started to think: I wonder what a finished Holiday's with Do You Like Worms lyrics might have sounded like? Soon, I found myself singing Worms lyrics to Brian's snippet of Holiday's melody in the shower. And then, I decided to finish it myself!
I present you with: Do You Like Holidays!
http://orkinpod.bandcamp.com/track/do-you-like-holidaysNote: there have been a few surprisingly rude responses to a few fan edits and mixes and experiments on this board recently, and so I'd just like to clarify: I did this for
fun. Not because I think that I have some secret key to what Smile would have sounded like, or because I'm just as talented as Brian Wilson and Gosh Darnit my Holidays is the only one! In fact, my version of Holidays only took about an hour, and it features me singing vocal arrangements I made up as I went, and it basically all around sucks compared to the original. But I think it is fun to listen to, and fun to think about what a finished Holidays might have sounded like, so I did it anyway. If you have positive comments, great, if you have constructive feedback, fine, but please don't tell me that "not to be rude but this friggin sucks." It's just for fun.
