Was listening to the 2000 remaster of CATP on Spotify and noticed that Here She Comes has way more plays than all the other songs on the album:  I like the song, but wouldn't have expected it to be the most popular, considering other songs have been featured in more greatest hits albums. Was it featured in a movie or TV show? |

While HSC slaps pretty hard it can definitely be considered a deep cut. Has it been featured prominently in some media or is that purely organic popularity?

I bet people are searching for Hall and Oates' "Maneater" with the phase "Here she comes."

Brilliant!  That would explain it. |

It's a great tune - do we know whether it was ever played live?

Thank you, Wirestone. At 400M plays, I believe you've solved the mystery.

I'm not surprised. That song has aged very well and it's sound works even in today's music scene. It's a great tune - do we know whether it was ever played live?

Nice! I like this, sounds a bit funkier than the studio version somehow. Thanks for the link! |

That song is the closest they ever got to sounding like a real rock band.

Yeah, the Beach Boys were never a real rock band. "You say we're manufactured, to that we all agree, so make your choice and we'll rejoice in never being free" |

It's definitely an underrated track. It's also the most "un-Beach Boys"-sounding track they ever did. Surprised that it overtook "Marcella".

In a perfect world, Here She Comes would be included in every Greatest Hits compilation from the Beach Boys. It's an amazing song.

Compare and contrast the play counts for the CATP songs from Sail On Sailor:

My daughter is 16 and has recently become a Beach Boys obsessive. This is one of her very favorite tracks. She's listening with fresh ears. Maybe the contributions of Ricky and Blondie need to be reevaluated. The song certainly has strong hooks.

Ricky and Blondie deserve a lot of credit for keeping the band afloat during that period, especially in the touring circuit. They provided the group with a much-needed edge that definitely added some grit to their music. I think had they stuck around a bit longer for at least one more album, they would have probably successfully had completely fused and blended their sound in with the band. We could have potentially had a killer album comparable to the "earthy" sound that the Rolling Stones were demonstrating on their albums at the time ( Let It Bleed, Beggar's Banquet, etc.). |

We could have potentially had a killer album comparable to the "earthy" sound that the Rolling Stones were demonstrating on their albums at the time ( Let It Bleed, Beggar's Banquet, etc.). I agree completely. An alternate-reality 1975 album with Blondie and Ricky still on board, considering the work that Dennis was doing in that time frame, and where Dennis and Blondie ended up going with their respective 1977 solo albums, should have been absolutely stunning. Throw in Brian continuing his early-70s pattern of working up a couple of his stronger compositions instead of half-assing covers, and you have a hell of a record. Of course, this is like the alternate reality of an alternate reality, given that even without Blondie and Ricky a ton of great-to-promising material was thrown out in this time frame in favor of Brian Wilson half-assing covers. |
