During Mike's monologue over Heroes and Villains for the Hawaii rehearsals, you can hear Brian sing "I've been eatin' so much p**sy."

Jeez, that's horrendous.

[Magic Transistor Radio]

The cough in Wendy

Brian saying 'Top please (?) ' in Here Today

'Now it sounds like jewelry' Brian in Surfs Up (?) sessions

The uncomfortable seat joke by Mike (Live in London)

1976 'I'm Bugged at My Old Man' with 3 brothers, moment when Brian coughs, and they start laughing.

. . while the actual highlight from that 'session' is Denny's "blew his daaaad".

Yes that too!

[Freddie French-Pounce]

"This is an example of a Motown A&R man - 'Alright Baby's, Now if everybody gets it on the first take everybody gets some c*ck'". No idea who says it but - I Know There's An Answer (1st Vocal Insert Attempts By Al)

The whole session is great actually.

[metal flake paint]

"This is an example of a Motown A&R man - 'Alright Baby's, Now if everybody gets it on the first take everybody gets some c*ck'"...and a little pot. No idea who says it (sounds like Mike) but - I Know There's An Answer (1st Vocal Insert Attempts By Al)

Another Brian, Al and Mike situation, like Honda 55 and Girls On The Beach (early version).

[LostArt]

"Somebody bring me a dildo and a vibrator," says Mike Love as the band embark on yet another take of ‘Heroes and Villains’.

"Somebody bring Mike a bag of money," replies Carl.

[RangeRoverA1]

Al's response to Brian's question was "I feel great." He seemed to be feeling it 

A man waiting for a bus on LSD?

Please, cut it down on referring to Al like that. Show some respect to one of the greatest singers ever.

As to the Wrightfan's topic, I'll nominate the recent MIC inclusion, There's No Other, as the funniest studio chatter I happened to hear.

OT question - Wrightfan, why you changed your old avatar? It was so charming, with some funny gzel toy. The current picture is boring, that guy looks like a weirdo & a loser. No offense, just my humble aesthetic opinion.

[ThyRavenAscend]

The cough in Wendy

Ah, yes! Always makes me laugh a bit hah.

'Now it sounds like jewelry' Brian in Surfs Up (?) sessions

Jewelry as in "A diamond necklace played the pawn..."  I hadn't realized how thoughtful Brian was to SMiLE's lyrics until I heard this session take and made the connection.  

[Andrew G. Doe]

Can't believe no-one's mentioned the flat-out all-time undisputed BB in the studio moment - the 'session' for the tag of "All I Want To Do". 

Also, Brian asking Carol to "whack off on your bass"... much hilarity ensued.

[Mikie]

Wrightfan's current avatar ain't boring at all. If you knew about America's favorite pasttime, baseball, then you would know immediately who it is in that picture. He was one of the best baseball pitchers of all time, #41 Tom "Terrific" Seaver of the New York Mets.

Late but in-time response: I love America & am very interested in its culture, but baseball is the last thing I'd be all ears about. I once tried to watch this game on TV & didn't get anything from it. Still, thank you for the info, Mikie. I'll use this knowledge for crosswords.

The Brian farts into the mic/piano Smile outtake

I used to have this somewhere. Is that take still out there? I would love to hear it again.

Where can I hear the 'Whack off' quote?

[Mikie]

Salt Lake City sessions, Sea Of Tunes Unsurpassed Masters Vol. 9, Disc 2.

Wasn't it released on the Hawthorne CA. CD as "Salt Lake City (session highlights)" ?

if it isn't already, "I'll use this knowledge for crosswords" needs to become a recurring catchphrase.

The "Banana & Louie" session is pretty interesting. Listen to it or you won't get your Batman ring!

[Joel Goldenberg]

One thing that's odd to me is that Brian seems to be in a rather and uncharacteristically tetchy mood on the first (Pet Sounds era) Good Vibrations session.
