If you had a chance to sit in with The Beach Boys

[Mr. Wilson]

What would you sing with them.?  Please keep your choices to 10 songs + Barbara Ann cannot be included .! Well id make sure I had my red strat with me 1st. Its over 30 yrs old. Then I"d  brain storm with Brian.  Here"s my choices : 1} Don't Worry Baby  2} Caroline No  3} Rock + Roal to the Rescue  4} You Still Believe In Me 5}Sloop John B  6} Midnight"s Another Day  7}I Can Hear Music  8} Heaven 9} Heroes  10}You + I      Now remember don't  just pick you favorite songs.! You are the lead singer so pick what you can reasonably sing on key + blend in.. Most people who love the BB love the vocals so im sure there is plenty of you out there who can sing.. I know this fantasy but it should be fun.

[RangeRoverA1]

Great topic, Mr. Wilson! My 1st choice would be, of course, At My Window - I so many times imagined singing this incredibly beautiful song with The Boys! Vocally, it very matches my range.
2] Barbara Ann (sorry, but it's too catchy & fun to not offer it to the band)
3] That Same Song (another joyful number; I'd love to take one of the verses imitating Brian's bass voice. Generally, I like copying various singers, for entertainment)
4] Luau (singing "Lu-lu-lu-lu-Luau" with the rest)
5] Sail On Sailor (My voice in no way sounds like Blondie's, but why not give a try & do sth. challenging?)
6] Add Some Music to Your Day (Mike's lines coz he's got more of them than the others & I want to steal the show)
7] Old Folks At Home (it's all up to Brian to decide where I'd be in the harmony stack)
8] Mama Says (ditto)
9] Santa Claus is Comin' to Town (I can easily hit the high notes (at least, in this song) + it's one of my favorite Christmas classics)
10] Sloop John B (the melody sung by Brian is marvelous, so I'll take his leads, not Mike's)

I could go on & on, there are still many tunes I'd like to share the vocals in, and they may not be necessarily my faves.

[doinnothin]

I'd really want to get it on one of those epic Shortenin' Bread jams.

[scooby1970]

"God Only Knows" would be my first choice, I'd love to participate in the acapella fade as found on the alternate version. I'd also like to sing "Hushabye", "Don't worry baby", "Little Honda" and "When I Grow Up To Be A Man".

2 the original poster: forgot to mention that you have a very interesting writing style, I noticed it way before registering here. Dig unconventionality in people.

[BB Universe]

I had a thought after posting my list. Could the "Beach Boys Medley" (1981) be picked which includes 3 on my list so that it would give me 2 new ones to add plus adding snippets of 5 not on my list?
PLEASE.     

[SurfRiderHawaii]

I would lock myself in a room with Brian aand Mike and we'd knock out a new classic called "Sun Celebration".

Sun, Sun Sun
Cele Bra TIONNNNN

[The Real Barnyard]

I actually sang Kokomo (Spanish version) face to face with Mike at the backstage in Gredos last year. He asked if anyone knew the spanish lyrics and we started to sing. It was pretty weird but a great memory anyway.
