Guess I'm dumb

[runnersdialzero]

No lines to read between - this and "Sandy" were written to be given to Glen, they're not just Beach Boys outtakes. If Brian would have wanted it on a Beach Boys record, it would have been.

Not according to Glen. He stated that Guess I'm Dumb was intended for the Beach Boys but was 'off message' or words to that effect.

If this is true, I want to die more than I already did before reading it. Girl, you know it's true.

Apologies, I feel like I've made an ass of myself in this thread. I swore I'd read these things elsewhere on the board and a quick Googlin' shows people elsewhere on teh interwebz  talking like "Sandy" might've been offered to Glen (while indeed seeming uncertain), so yeah, it's not just me.

I still cannot wrap my head around "Sandy"/"Sherry" being scrapped, being about 95% complete and only needing a lead vocal (inb4 Smile tracks, totally different circumstances), nor could I begin to fathom the idea of "Guess I'm Dumb" possibly almost seeing the same fate.

One thing that is worth mentioning that I haven't seen said is how the one vocal part of Had to Phone Ya is very much right out of Guess I'm Dumb.  I'm speaking of these two sections to be specific...

Guess I'm Dumb:

I'll give in when I know I should be strong
I still give in even though I know it's wrong, know it's wrong

Had to Phone Ya:

I visualize that you're looking fine
Feels so good when you come on the line

Melodically very similar - had never noticed this before !
