Thought I might as well start a thread to discuss a new My Music PBS special that is being hosted by Mike entitled Summer, Surf and Beach Music We Love. This is a clip show featuring vintage videos by the Beach Boys, Jan & Dean, etc. Looks like an interesting watch. But perhaps more interesting for us BB fanatics are the “Thank You” gifts offered by making a donation to a PBS station, including one of the most fascinating Beach Boys hits compilations I have ever seen: Summer Favorites. Its track listing, via WETA: 1. California Girls 2. I Get Around 3. Surfer Girl 4. Wouldn’t It Be Nice 5. Summer Means New Love 6. Goin’ To The Beach 7. Little Deuce Coupe 8. God Only Knows 9. Still Cruisin’ 10. Surfin’ USA 11. Summer In Paradise 12. The Warmth Of The Sun 13. Barbara Ann 14. California Feelin’ 15. Fun, Fun, Fun 16. Island Girl 17. Don’t Worry Baby 18. Somewhere Near Japan 19. Good Vibrations 20. Summer Of Love 21. Kokomo 22. Surf’s Up 23. Wipe Out – with The Fat Boys 24. Happy Endings – with Little Richard 25. All Summer Long (a cappella version) This is unbelievable. Most of the ’80s tracks from Still Cruisin’. “California Feelin’.” “Summer of Love” sequenced merely two tracks before “Surf’s Up.” And what I believe to be the CD debut of “Happy Endings.” What a disc.  EDIT: Corrected track list here: http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,24281.msg587740.html#msg587740 |

If the audio quality is good, could be a worthwhile pick-up for those 80's tracks. Particularly if it is the single version of Somewhere near Japan, but I don't suppose it will be.

If you'll allow me to be quite cynical, I assume those would be songs that Mike has a bigger songwriting/publishing percentage of.

This is a fake, isn't it? I can't believe anyone with a brain would put such an awful collection together.

I once knew someone who liked "Happy Endings". In fact it led me to decipher the lyrics, which were nowhere to be found at the time. All corrections welcome:
"Bring them back, bring them back
Bring them back, wee ooo
Bring them back
"Bring back happy endings
Where the good guys always win
Give me Santa and the Easter Bunny
Make me smile again
"Bring back happy endings
Where the good guys always win
Like Peter Pan in Never Never Land, oh yeah
Make me smile again
"(We'll) send all the tears away
Bring them back to yesterday
We'll learn to laugh again
I can see the bad times end
"You love happy endings
Then let's go back once more
And dream a lot of Camelot
The way it was before
"Look through the children's eyes
And life becomes a lullaby
Send all the tears away
Bring them back to yesterday
"Bring them back, back
Bring them back, back
Bring them back, back
Bring them back, back
"Bring back happy endings
Where the good guys always win
And Santa and the Easter Bunny
Make me smile again
"Bring them back, wee ooo
Bring them back
Bring them back, wee ooo
Bring them back
Bring back happy endings
Bring back happy endings"

We haven't seen an oddball collection like this in many years.
I can see why "Happy Endings" was passed over for STILL CRUISIN'.

Seems like Help Me Rhonda and Do It Again had to make room for Goin' to the Beach and Summer of Love. Wow. Kudos for including California Feelin', though!

Has the a capella All Summer Long been released before? I'm blanking on this question.

Why this wasn't included on one of the other four CDs is beyond me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0G6gbHpiEA |

It’s on the digital-only Keep An Eye On Summer release from 2014. |

That's actually a pretty cool collection, and I know that I'd be helping PBS, but $156 is pretty steep. |

Damn. I'd love to have Happy Endings on CD, but I'm not paying $156 for it.

Mike must have insisted that Summer of Love be included in order for him to appear.

I'll probably see if this shows up on Amazon Marketplace at some point.
Big Bird charges way too much for these pledge incentives.
At least the Brian Wilson Soundstage DVD/BluRay was moderately priced last year.
