Beach Boys Survivor #32 Winner: Lahaina Aloha

Slow Summer Dancin' (One Bummer Shight)
Still Sufferin'

[Alan Smith]

9 for Hot Fun in the Summer Time. (I can't even be arsed to make up something).

As if it's anything of interest? Sure, no one really cares about whether you make up sth. or not. You know, we here are for voting off least fave track.

Charming.  And speak for yourself - I find the pithy to desperate poll tags and the school boyish song title augmentations much more interesting than the puerile opinions and other quite trying commentary offered by some.

I hope you don't hint at my posts being puerile, as you say. And what's wrong about my former statement? It's not like I personally insulted pixletwin or sth.

Not all of them; yr opening and second comments are a little abrupt.  & what does "sth" mean.

I thought your point was that you liked the versions off Summer In Paradise better than The Drifters, or Sly Stone.

Don't they play the Drifters and Sly in hell?

[TMinthePM]

Not as bad as so many make it out to be. I could easily name worse. Bought it the day before Hurricane Andrew battered South Florida in '92 and played it continuously thru the storm. It then became our summer soundtrack for a few years when we'd vacation up at Cocoa Beach. Thought at the time that it sounded like the Beach Boys' swan song, the title track reminding me of Let it Be.

Should have opened with Island Fever's invitation to "get away." Surfin' - definitely an improvement over the original...didn't know the little fella had it in him. Summer of Love? Stupid, goofy and funny. Guess you have to be SoCal to get it. Was cool to see Surfer Joe resurface. Last we'd heard he'd gone off to Pendleton for a hitch with Uncle Sam's boys. Don't get the reference to the lady we once used to know...somebody help me with that. And I like the direct vocal harmonic quote from Don't Worry Baby. One Summer Night works just fine with your baby in your arms, swaying to the music at a southseasidebeachfronthideaway - try it, you'll like it! And, of course, Strange Things recalls that Pisces Lady so Funky Pretty, and I love the extended fade.

uh oh...battery is low

[TMinthePM]

Ok. Plugged in again, so where was I? Yeah, Side Two -

Really like that extended fade into Remember Walking in the Sand. Who did that originally? I'm thinking the Shangr Las.

Lahaina Aloha gets some pretty good press, I guess for Carl's vocal delivery, but I'm sure a song about a one night stand is just beyond the pale. I mean, we're talking rock n roll here, not some degenerate art...well, never mind.

What's left? Under the Board Walk...a great old tune given a respectable interpretation, better I'd say than the Stones, which is I admit a stretch, but then I didn't care much for their reworking of Just My Imagination. In, fact, I'd say their best work was all done before 1966 - same as the Beach Boys (except for PS and GV of course)

They should have stuck Kokomo here just before the title track, which by the way sounds pretty good live with the added verses. And the burning sax reminds me of Gato so it's ok - everyone can't be Coltrane

So, I guess I like the album, my perception colored no doubt by the fond memory of that time and place in the early 90's.

But Hot Fun better than Sly...? I mean...really now...you've got to be...

I thought it was a bit irrelevant and abruptly rude too. But I have gotten used to such comments from rangerover. I don't they're intended to be rude, so I overlook them.

Actually, personally, one of the things I've enjoyed most about these threads has been pixletwin's corny puns.

Am I the only one who thinks Still Surfin' channels a bit of Spector influence? The intro may be my favourite moment on the album.

[pixletwin]

Tally in  a few hours. Thanks for the kind words folks.

Seconded.

[pixletwin]

Bear with me folks. We are almost out of the DARK AGES for the Beach Boys.

Summer in Paradise is the twenty-seventh studio album by American rock band the Beach Boys, released on August 3, 1992 on Brother Records. Produced by Terry Melcher, it has been described as the band's critical and commercial low point.[1] The Beach Boys did not record another album of original material until That's Why God Made the Radio in 2012.
Summer in Paradise was left out of Capitol's Beach Boys re-issue campaign in 2000 and 2001, and is currently out of print.

You'll catch him on a wave on his way to class or being voted out of Survivor! (12)

One Summer Night survived over and over again... until now.   (12)

Vote off your LEAST FAVORITE TRACK before we go to the final round!

Tally on the May 8th!!!!
