Brian rehashing music

[Letsgoawayforawhile]

I'm sure this is already a topic in the sea of threads, but my search was to no avail. Sorry if it is.

Anyways, I've been listening to Little Deuce Coupe a lot, and noticed Brian rehashing melodies, like the connection between "You Remember?" and "Gee", and "Girls On The Beach" and "Surfer Girl". Where else did he do these sorts of things?

Pamela Jean/Car Crazy Cutie. Land Ahoy/Cherry Cherry Coupe. South Bay Surfer/Surfin' Down The Swanee River. Those are just the easiest examples. I am sure other folks will have much more to add to the list.

Great!
Thank you!

If I understand the OP's question correctly The melody line from God Only Knows ("The world could show nothing to me") is quoted in the Smiley version of Wonderful.

[hypehat]

Something like 'All Dressed Up For School/I Just Got My Pay/Marcella'.

Extremely obvious one - Thinkin' Bout You Baby/Darlin'

Not quite. You mean the bit before the nonsense bridge, right? Incidentally, the nonsense bridge is Heroes & Villains chorus and Fade To Vega-Tables is, though! (Have a look on the tape box photos in the TSS booklet - the Fade is noted as being so!)

Yeah the bit just before it goes into the Heroes & Villains motif. At 1:08 and again at  2:10 where they sing "na-na-na-na-na-na-na" is a note-for-note quote of "The world could show nothing to me". Or was your "not quite" comment referencing that I misunderstand the OP; which altogether likely.

Can't believe I forgot about those ones.

 Ok. Dopey me. I guess "rehash" means a rewrite. 

[Summer_Days]

'Shortenin' Bread' --> 'Walkin' The Line', parts of 'Goin' Home' and 'Too Much Sugar'

[Pablo.]

A couple from Imagination

"How could I have left you alone" from Cry comes from one of the Sweet Insanity songs

Nice one.

There is a lot of SMiLE that follows a I-IV progression, including a lot of Heroes and Villains, Who Ran the Iron Horse, Wind Chimes, Child is Father of The Man, Do You Like Worms, Vega-Tables, Barnyard, and I'm sure others (that's just what I can remember). 

You say rehash, I say re-hashish.   

[hypehat]

No no, I was saying I disagree that that's the GOK melody. If it was, it'd be a perfect one for the thread.

I just reexamined that portion and it would appear that it is actually a contraction of the two phrases from GOK. Still I would definitely consider it as a quote. Maybe it's a stretch but it resonates with me.

the na-na-na part from Wonderful reminds me of Pomp and Circumstance and i wonder if it was intentional.

Ok maybe I am thinking too hard (or not hard enough).

Absolutely. Nothing "God only knows". Until now I never even heard anybody believing that it is GOK's melody line. The way Brian sings it makes it obvious that it has nothing to do with GOK and everything with  Edward Elgar

Jokey, early version of 'Little Saint Nick' --> 'Drive In'. Or the other way around...

Speaking of, 'Little Deuce Coupe' --> 'Little Saint Nick', I'd say.
