MIKE LOVE WANTS BRIAN WILSON BACK IN THE BEACH BOYS

[drbeachboy]

What about Pet sounds or smile?

What about them? They're great!

Pet Sounds was a chart failure, and SMiLE failed because the drugged out Wilson's couldn't stand up straight, let alone make music. If you'll remember, Kokomo went to #1 internationally. I think it's pretty obvious what the public wants.

Even if we don't like it, Kokomo is very popular in our generation. I was even once asked to play Kokomo on the guitar after playing other BB tunes at a birthday party. 363 days passed since that happened, but I'll doubt I'll ever be motivated to actually learn it.

I like Kokomo, no problem with it whatsoever. Saying that Pet Sounds was a chart failure is vastly incorrect. Using "Wilson's" in the plural as "drugged out... and couldn't stand up straight" in 1966-1967 has never been proven. If using the term "drugged out" is strictly directed at Brian failing, I would direct this person to California Girls. Considering how that was written, it was far from a failure. For Smile, the failure was modular recording and frankly, too much music to assemble.

Kokomo was popular for a few very simple reasons - great song, excellent hook, superb vocals from Carl and Michael, summertime vibe. It's a classic.

I really do love it.  But I tend to favor "South American" as well.  "South American" might actually have a better hook though.  Not sure it's close.

it was perfect for a cheesy summer in a very cheesy decade, but now, 25 years later, the song sounds really shite. still some people dig it. there is greatness in diversity. I'm glad that at least someone appreciates ML's output, because he's been working at it for quite awhile.

"shite" or no sh*t, it still comes off a whole lot better than a lot of shite hits of the era.... It's rather non-dated and is actually very very good once one's temper cools off.

"Kokomo" is 25 years old! That's hard to believe. A quarter of a century old. I still remember the first time I heard it - on a Disney TV special. Where did the time go...

Thanks for the support guys. 250 years from now, I know people will still be relaxing on sunny beaches listening to Kokomo.

You'll be able to relax in the ample shade supplied by the vast number of Mike Love statues that will be erected in the sand.

What support? Many of us liked Kokomo way before you blessed us with your presence here. As for the remainder of your post, you really don't have a clue regarding your Beach Boys facts.

You know, we should all take a trip down to Kokomo, go to the altar of Mike Love, and sacrifice a Beach Boy fan there.

I vote for SIP Mike as the first sacrifice. There is no better person than the biggest Mike fan leading off.

great minds, Doctor...

Why would you sacrifice him? I have a feeling he'll be the source of many great, hilarious posts in the future.

You know, kokomo borders Mordor from "lord of the rings", so it is a very evil place. Brian Wilson's "surf city" was way cooler....

I think one of Mike's rings is Sauron's. He found it in 1968 and hasn't been the same since with the ring making him greedy.
