I just learned that one of the songs I hear multiple times a day on Rite-Aid's EXTREMELY LIMITED Christmas radio rotation is "Winter Symphony" - one of the bonus tracks on 'Ultimate Christmas.'
Why in the world would we have this?? Was this even ever released outside of that compilation?

It was released on the Christmas With The Beach Boys compilation, as well as several bootlegs.

It seems the greatest concentration of oddball Beach Boys related songs heard in public are played in drug stores. I nearly fell over a few years ago when I heard "Shoot the Curl" by the Honeys played in Walgreens.

Someone else reported hearing "Judy" in a drug store, I believe. I've heard my fair share of odd songs at similar locations, but never an obscure Beach Boys song.

I've heard plenty of semi-obscure BB songs in stores. Not "Judy", mind you, but have heard "Wake The World", "In My Car", and "Make it Good" before. That last one really blew my mind.

99.9 percent of the people strolling through Rite-Aid and hearing Winter Symphony have no idea who it is.

Not sure if this would be considered obscure, but Frosty the Snowman is in the rotation at the BX store (a store on an air force base) I manage a bank in. Was it ever released as a single? It kind of threw me for a loop, as I know Little Saint Nick was the usual selection.

Now I just want to troll Rite-Aids, telling people this is the same band who did "Surfin' USA" and standing back as their head explodes. Then I buy expired candy and go home so I can be well rested to do the exact same thing the day after. |

Yeah, I hear Frosty the Snowman on the radio from time to time around Christmas. It was not a single, but it really should have been. It my mind, it's really kind of a perfect recording.

I hate most of the traditional Christmas songs on that album. They're my least favorite Beach Boys songs. Give me "Summer of Love" over "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" any day!

I think it's been added to some Xmas comps in recent years instead of ST. NICK. |

I remember at one point last year, I heard Christmas Time Is Here Again on Philly's WJBR-FM 99.5, during their usual seasonal 24/7 period. Normally, Little Saint Nick is common on there, but Christmas Time Is Here Again was a shocker. I've also heard Santa's Beard and The Man With All The Toys played often in department stores.

For a minute I was thinking of THIS Santa's Beard. Also fantastic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzW0LsG8O-o |

A bit off topic but in the spirit of xmas and Brian's favorite producer: Darlene Love is performing Christmas Baby Please Come Home on David Letterman (US) this coming Friday Night. It should be spectacular as usual. If you are a big fan of this annual event as I am, you should visit the David Letterman home page to see a very nicely produced montage of her and the band doing this song over the course of the last so many years.

Another oddity I heard was Belles of Christmas at a Ranch 99 (asian supermarket) located in Foster City, CA on Sunday night! I had to do a few double takes to make sure I heard what I thought I was hearing.

I work at Weis Markets, an east-coast grocery store. Part of their Christmas music includes all the originals from the Christmas Album, as well as "Kona Coast" and "Bells Of Christmas."
Of their non-Christmas Beach Boys-related music, I only remember ever hearing "California Girls," "Your Imagination," and, surprisingly, "Surf's Up."
