Does it exist? Or is it just a hazardous byproduct of my imagination? Take, for example, the beginning of "Take A Load Off Your Feet". Coyly, Brian sings:

I do 'em when I'm down in the tub
With avocado cream, they'll take a rub
They wrinkle like raisins if I stay too long
I wouldn't want to do 'em wrong

Now, you can't help but notice how ambiguous that sounds when divorced from the rest of the song. And that's the first thing you hear!

There's the obvious bits in "All I Want To Do". Undeniable, there.

Over and over the crow cries uncover the cornfield - Cornfields of course symbolise fertilty. A crow is a derogatory term for a black woman Uncovering the cornfield is an                                                                          obvious reference to a black woman removing her underwear.          

Columnated ruins domino   -                                  A reference to erectile dysfunction?

A good half to three quarters of the Wild Honey album.

Are you suggesting that "a taste of wild honey" might be an innuendo?

"Eat, eat, eat it up, wild honey"?

Stud bees … "buzzing all around her hive"?

"There's nothing quite nice as a kiss of wild honey"?

Ah, you must have a depraved mind sir…

what about
"Gotta girl givin' me some lessons
And now she's gonna be my confession"…

"Met a fine chick that really got to me
Good Lord how she boogalooed to me
Oh my how she boogalooed it to me
Come on sock it sock it to me"

Blmey I do believe you're right…

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

Or at the very least a slutty kinda girl!  Who isn't very hot.  But oh, she'll get you there.

Her looks aren't exactly a plus
But it doesn't matter to us
Because she knows where it's at
And she gets you there in seconds flat

a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.

PRO SHOT BEACH BOYS CONCERTS - LIST


To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.
