This is actually pretty good... needs to be developed more but the chorus is catchy.

Brian or Carl should have done the "early in the morning..." verse since that part seems like it's out of Mike's comfortable range.

Okay maybe I wrote out the lyrics so I could slaughter it. If you don't know these by now I ain't gonna explain

Goin' To The Beach (Freddie): http://soundcloud.com/moar-freddie/goin-to-the-beach-freddie

However, that taught me how simple the song it. a second verse rather than the solo would have been preferable.

Wow, the missing centerpiece of Smile. Brilliant!

I think it's just because it's something new, simple as that.  They could have released a newly discovered 1976 recording of Brian instructing Dennis how to properly fart into a microphone and there'd be at least 7 pages worth of people praising its brilliance, intentional misspellings of Mike's name and people bitching about how the C50 tour ended.
For a track of Dennis farting there would be a thread of ~1.000 pages before sundown. I'd be contributing merrily, as well. Smiley

Hell, who am I kidding, I would be too.

I really like the drumming on this song, really punchy and energetic, loads of cool little things going on.

"Goin' To The Beach" is exactly what I expected it to be: a fun good-time song by Mike.  It's nothing revolutionary, but it ain't bad.  I'm surprised it never surfaced on any of the late 70's/early 80's albums.

Yeah Good Vibrations is still the best song Mike ever wrote, without outside help.

no one else assisted in arranging the song? mike should give brian co-writing credit. he's shown as a collaborator in the demo video.

In ten years Brian will decide that he has been wronged and will sue Mike for due credit for chord changes made during the recording of the song. Brian will try to settle out of court, but Mike's lawyers convinced him Brian has no case. Brian receives millions, but at first only sought a pat a the back and a "Well done" from Mike. All reunite for a late 60 year reunion tour.

Brian was playing piano in a video, he clearly wrote the song.

Also, Mike said in the video that he was on his way home and started ad-libbing "Goin' to the beach, goin' to the beach", so he clearly wrote the song.

Brian added some of the music...I think that means co-writing.  Songs are more than just lyrics.

Well, I actually went to the beach with my baby this weekend.  I told her about the song on the drive over (as we listened to classic BBs, obvs), how it's kinda awful but also kinda good and catchy, then I couldn't help but sing it a little bit, then I played it on my iPhone, then I started singing other things in the same melody, and by the end of the day we both couldn't shake Goin' to the Beach.

Thanks a lot Mike.

I think Brian's already been to court over this one, to ensure he DOESN'T get any credit …  LOL

I'm guessing Mr. Beard may have seen the actual liner notes, so it may be solely credited to Love. It is funny though, because it is indeed one of relative few BB songs where we have what is presumably actual film footage of the composition/recording of it, and Brian certainly seems to be contributing more than just playing piano. He is seen working out the arrangement of the song. Whether "arranging" a song heavily is actual "writing" is a debate that has been brewing for a loooong time of course in the music industry.

That film does seem to illustrate the limits of Mike (or anybody) being able to "write" a song on his own when he doesn't play an instrument. Some would argue that such a thing is virtually impossible, unless you Bobby McFerrin it out and vocalize everything (I recall reading supposedly Michael Jackson did something along those lines in writing some of his songs?). Having a group where everybody else plays instruments of course afforded Mike easy opportunity to get help, whether it constituted writing credit or not.

Well, we have someone on the board who writes songs without playing any instruments. And that's Swedish Frog, the only instrument he can play is clarinet.

What he does is come up with a melody, and then write lyrics that fit into it. Then, he hands it off to a collaborator who makes the arrangements and plays the instruments.

I've often told people, playing an instrument isn't really required for writing a song.

Writing is about creativity, and the ability to hear music in your head at a basic level.

Playing is about practice and or training.

Mike could totally write his own songs, alone.
