Via lots of soundcloud interconnections I found a band "The Sunny Boys". Was amazed by their BBs renditions of Surfin' Safari & Barbara Ann, so I also checked their self-penned songs, & one of them featured the line about the BBs at 37 sec. mark: https://soundcloud.com/thesunnyboys/03-the-sunny-boys-mahalo

Nice song, the a cappella intro is terrific, kind of reminisces "Island Girl" (although I'd say it about 80% of "Mahalo", steel drum solo & all). Even the singer sounds like a cross between Al & Bruce. That being said, there's 1 thing better than on "Island Girl" - accordion instead of saxophone. Added some sweet touch to the tune.

I thought that's what they said the first time I heard it. :-)  Glad it's not because the song sucks!

First of all, sorry for the reanimation of this old thread. I've been looking at the Smiley Smile board for a few years, but just joined a few days ago.

When I saw this thread when it came up, I wanted to contribute a song. It's actually my band The Barbecuties. We play pop punk and I wrote a song about Brian called The Life Of Brian. Here we go

Long May You Run is simply one of my favorite songs.  Period.  It shows up on a lot on my comp mixes of BB's songs.

How about your band's tune, Hot Rod?: http://thebarbecuties.bandcamp.com/track/the-life-of-brian

About Brian, obv., however, you will hear mention of many BBs songs. Cool uptempo number.

Lindsey Buckingham - D.W.Suite 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9GOvjlPSVA

Although probably more a tribute to than about Dennis

Blimey…   hadn't dipped into this thread before. DW Suite starts off with a favourite tune (it's a trad Scottish folk song) of my partner's late husband.

Also Custer's marching song. For all the good it did him.

The melody at the beginning is "Wild Mountain Thyme" - a traditional Scottish tune. Later in the song you hear "Garryowen" which is a traditional Irish march that Custer was fond of. I've always wondered why Buckingham incorporated these Celtic melodies into a tribute to Dennis. Was it simply because Wilson is a Scottish surname?
