Cheesiest Beach Boys Songs

[I. Spaceman]

I still don't see how mentioning that she's short is par for a love song.

Who cares what's par? Brian is a weird, crazy, strange dude who doesn't write yer average love ditty. Thank God, we already have Paul for that. "In my woodie I will take you..". "She makes me come alive, and makes me want to drive...". "She do my cookin', she's so good lookin', I miss her when she's gone..". "When I was younger, my mother told me Jesus loved the world, and if that's true then, why hasn't he helped me to find a girl?..".
If dat's cheesy, order me a large cheese pizza to go.

because, I hate to say it, but the song is Brilliant because it shows how LITTLE the author knew or really thought about the object of his affection at the time.

All he really has to say, which he reiterates in other songs, is that she's great because she puts up with his wierd moods and doesn't cheat on him.  Yay, huh?  Nice relationship.

I always took "You're so good to me" as kind of tongue-in-cheek.  The whole sound of the track, in my opinion, shows that he's having a good time and kind of picking on Marilyn.  I COULD BE WRONG, but that was just the way I took it.  The whole "LA LA LA LA LA LA LA " in the background is really silly sounding, and to me it sounds like a couple who are comfortable picking on each other and themselves. 

"You're kinda small, and you're such a doll, I'm glad you're mine... You're so good to me, how come you are?"

I think is the first little bit.  It's sung with a smile on his face and a brag in his voice.  I can see a guy telling his wife this when they're out laughing and having a good time with people at dinner.  It's a little condescending, but that's the whole point... it's like saying "Yeah, she's cute when she's mad".  that's a really chauvenist thing to say, but someone would say it with the full knowledge that it was a joke and it's poking fun at someone you care about.

"That Same Song"


"Love Is A Woman"*


* Unless, as I've always suspected, this was simply meant to start a rumor about the band, like "...the walrus was Paul..."

[Eric Aniversario]

Keep in mind that when I say "cheesy" that does not mean I don't like the song, just that I think it's cheesy.

I actually like a lot of those songs...sometimes cheesy is good!  Although nothing can make me like "Anything For You".

Good vibes,

WRINKLES !!! Golly, I'd forgotten all about that one ! That HAS to be the clincher - although I gotta say that good ol' George Faulkner's wonderful version of it actually made it into a quite enjoyable lil' ol' number ...
