On the morning Sirius 60s channel CG is frequently played. Without fail, the DJ talks throughout the intro. Grrr! There oughta be a law - stop yapping for a few seconds and listen to beauty and genius.
I listened to the instrumental outtakes. Took the Wrecking Crew over 40 takes to get this down.

Today's song is California Girls.

I can't seem to vote for it for some reason. Definitely a five.

One of the best structured songs ever. That intro! That tag! The bit in between ain't bad either. Grin

Mike's doo-wop intro to the tag is sheer genius. Which other band would have done that in 1965? Roll Eyes


Edit: I seem to have voted now. But who in the name of Beelzebub gave it a one?? Shocked

I've never understood Brian's aversion to the original SD(ASN) version...

What a stunning arrangement! I believe "top of his game" is the expression.

Today's song is You're So Good to Me.

This was very popular in the London clubs at the time. And with me. Oh, the memories. One of the Boys' most uplifting songs.

I had this dream in September of 2014, when I "spent a rather restless night trying (in vain) to work out how Kevin Leslie could somehow have been responsible for the Leslie'd guitar sound on 'You're So Good To Me'." LOL  

Five.

I know that The Beach Boys have some polarizing songs, but California Girls?

Today's song is Summer Means New Love.

Lovely little instrumental. For years, I was put off SD(ASN) because it was such a mixed bag (same, as it happens, with 20/20...)  It was only when I discovered that was its strength that I got to like it (20/20 too, folks). It's a fantastic collection of widely diverse but consistently great tracks. Anyway...

A five.

I love Brian’s move toward these chill instrumentals. ‘Let’s Go Away For Awhile’ was probably the pinnacle of these types of tunes, but this sure is a great step in that direction.

The remake of this for NPP with vocals is really perfect in its own way.

5/5

God must’ve smiled the day Brian Wilson was born!

"ragegasm" - /rāj • ga-zəm/ : a logical mental response produced when your favorite band becomes remotely associated with the bro-country genre.

Ever want to hear some Beach Boys songs mashed up together like The Beatles' 'LOVE' album? Check out my mix!

I'm Bugged At My Old Man

THREE

Musically it's trash but it cracks me up every time. And I listen to it a lot more often than, say, Amusement Parks USA. And I've enjoyed annoying people with this song. Probably not worthy of such a high score but either way it's a 3 from me  Razz

Today's song is I'm Bugged at My Ol' Man.

I gave it a four, which is my lowest vote in this poll. It's the equivalent of the talk tracks on the other three albums and they all got a resounding four.

It's just the Boys having some fun----and who would deny them that? Grin

I love I'm Bugged At My Ol' Man! No one will ever convince me otherwise. It's a fun song! I've played it for a few people and they all got a laugh out of it. Who can't relate to it on some level? My dad used to threaten to cut my hair in my sleep all the time LOL
