Well Cam...I think the point is we're Beach Boys fans rather than either of the considerations you mentioned as possibilities. We are sadly weakend when divided...and it's almost incessant...not to mention so well PAST old that it's now just BAD blue cheese.
Point taken.

OK, I'm not jumping into the Mike vs. Brian discussions.
However, I normally browse the web using Firefox with as many ad blockers as I can. This was my first visit using an iPad via Safari, and I literally could
not
read David's article because of all the screen-blocking junk ads on the Examiner site. I had to copy and paste the article elsewhere just to read it.
I was able to read it just fine on my iPad with only pop-up at the bottom - and it wasn't blocking the article.

Mine had 2 pop-ups, one on
top
of the other. Anyone know of an ad blocker for IOS Safari? The block popups setting is already on in preferences.

Kudos to John Phillips for finding the time to work on that during his busy schedule of raping his daughter.
(Sorry, just want the guy to be remembered for what he should be remembered for. Child abuse survivor.)
John Phillips was one of the best songwriters of the '60s.

Asher:
She's already working on my brain
I only look in her eyes
And I pick up something I just can't explain
I'm picking up good, good, good vibrations, yeah
Good, good, good vibrations, yeah
I, I bet I know what she's like
And I can feel how right she'd be for me
It's when how she comes in so strong
And I wonder what she's picking up from me
I hope it's good, good, good vibrations, yeah
Good, good, good vibrations, yeah
----------
Love:
I... I love the colorful clothes she wears
And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair
I hear the sound of a gentle word
On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations
Close my eyes
She's somehow closer now
Softly smile, I know she must be kind
When I look in her eyes
She goes with me to a blossom world
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations
I don't know where but she sends me there
(ah my, my what a sensation)
(ah my, my what elations)
(ah my, my what)
Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations
A happenin' with her
Mike's GV lyrics just destroy Asher's. They're just prettier words.

Asher's lyrics are too literal and abstract. Mike is specific and uses images to evoke an impression of vibrations ("sunlight plays" , "wind...lifts ", "sound of a gentle word") without being on-the-nose.
Whatever happened to that Mike, who could arrive at meaning through expressive images rather than bald statements?

I think Mike's still capable of writing picturesque lyrics.

Sorry to hear that elnombre. I believe the daughter too.

No they don't.
In the sense that Mike's are complete, finished lyrics (not placeholders) that scan properly and sit well on the instrumental track, I think they do. Of course, it's a totally unfair comparison: can't help but wonder what Tony may have come up with for a final draft...

Thanks for writing that - I just realised that this is the reason VDP's lyrics don't do as much for me as Mike's or Asher's finished Pet Sounds lyrics. VDP uses words that don't sound as pretty to me, excepting the verses of Cabin Essence which I do find pretty. Well, that's only me, feel free to ignore this opinion.

I think the lyrics sit fine on the instrumental track! I've always liked Tony's lyrics. Obviously Brian gave them credibility too - he OK'd them for BWPS and took a few of 'em on the road with him!

You might keep the "1967 version" but the rest of us will keep the 1966 number one hit version.
