I just wanted to make a quick comment. The other day I got rather pissy with a few people here. I'm sorry for that. It just annoyed me when I pointed out the fact that somebody other than Mike wrote a song, and everybody was like, "Well the lyrics are horrible, so it MUST be Mike!". I get it, Mike has done a lot of "questionable" things during his career. Personally, I don't like the guy very much. But it just bugs me sometimes when people seem to go out of their way to badmouth him. He deserves *some* of it, but let's not trash his entire career and life.

Lets look into this guy Daniel Charles Parker

Here is his discogs page - https://www.discogs.com/artist/6746654-Daniel-Charles-Parker

Any connection with that name as to why it might be a pseudonym?

I found this - http://members.calbar.ca.gov/fal/Licensee/Detail/118281

I guess that could be him. Started practicing in 1985 in LA. I sent him an email  Grin

Jay, I and one other person vaguely hinted that Mike Love possibly wrote those lyrics instead of Dan Parker. A third poster made their case that they thought Love did write those lyrics - in four paragraphs - thus its obvious to me that he was trying to actually discuss the possibility that Mike penned those lyrics.

And not one of the three people who were suspicious about the writing credits even insinuated that the lyrics were horrible. YOU are the one who projected that. It does blow my mind that Mike didn’t write those lyrics. Why?

The song itself is a pun of Mike Love’s name, the song itself has references to The Beach Boys. Mike wrote the lyrics to ‘Spring Vacation’ which rhymes “Good Vibrations” with “Vacation”. And lyrics for many songs he has penned in the last 30+ years have many words that rhyme with popular Beach Boy song titles. And, as has already been mentioned, Dan Parker has just one other writing credit on Discogs which makes it suspicious to me (and others) that Mr. Parker was able to write just one song in his career that ended up being the title song for a Beach Boys solo album.

I don’t see how three people suggesting the possibility that Mike Love rhymed “Good Vibrations” with “assassinations” makes this forum a “Mike Love Hate Club”. And again, you’re the one who projected that “everyone” said these lyrics were “horrible”...when in reality three people merely casted doubt on the authorship of the lyrics - nothing more and nothing less.

I was the one who mentioned the "good vibrations, assassinations" regarding Mike. I have the album LBWL but it's in storage, as it should be. Now, I could've sworn that Mike wrote that but he didn't. However we all know it's in his wheelhouse and I'm sure he wishes he wrote it. Regarding OSD: I've been around the Boys about 55 years, seen them over 100 times and have a lot of good stories to and I love Brian, but I don't make continually asinine comment which are backed up by his sycophant Smile Brian. Like I said, it would be tolerable if it was funny but it's just childish.

Whomever wrote those lyrics, whether it’s Mike Love , Dan Parker, Peter Parker, whomever...they’re hot garbage regardless. And this is coming from someone who actually likes most of LBWL.

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

I’m just going to say this and leave it at that....with everything going on in the world right now, isn’t the perfect time to start to be more civil to each other? We’re all Beach Boys fans here...but we’re also humans first.

We should all keep that in mind before flinging insults at each other.

Just my two cents

I agree. Let's save all our anger and hatred for Mike Love.
He's the reason the world is such a mess now.
But if Mike would get me a candy bar, then we could have world peace.

Better yet...how about not spewing hatred for anybody? I like that idea better.

Also not trolling would be very much appreciated. Just saying...

He has a point though. You need to carve out your own niche in the world of Beach Boys fandom. One OSD covers the Mike Love thing. Perhaps you could concentrate on Bruce  Grin Grin Grin

I'm curious, who other than OSD or SB spews hatred here? All I spouted was a little mild ribbing

Sorry to revive an old thread, but went down a rabbit hole of googling and found out that Dan Parker is one of Mike’s former managers. Here’s his resume—among his achievements, he proudly states “Wrote title song and coordinated marketing and PR for Mr. Love’s solo album on Casablanca Records.” So, it sounds like Mr. Parker’s lyrical contribution to “LBWL” is legitimate.

Bonus: Here’s a random news article that features a video interview with Mr. Parker. Mentions how he and Mike met…
