I'd be in favor of a "prominent back up" part on KTSA for Mike on the "Louie Louie" bass vocal IF we could verify that it's really him.  I've always had a hard time convincing myself of that, particularly the "bow" part on the 2nd verse.  It actually sounds a lot more like Dennis, though I realize that's probably impossible.  It could just be the extensive amount of processing on the voice just makes it sound like someone else, but I've wondered if those bass parts -- the 2nd verse part at least -- weren't performed by a session ringer.

Anyway, if it's Mike, I'd advocate for a prominent backup on that section.

Yep, I've wondered that myself the past few years...I'm sure it's the same person all the way through, but I'm wondering if it's not really Mike.  Probably is, but I wish we knew for sure.

I say it's Mike only because of how he sounded on Louie, Louie.

I know this is the same suggestion-type that I usually have. But at the begining of School Days, I would make note that Brian's vocal on top is very prominent... I know its a group vocal, but Brian's voice is definitely mixed out front.

I think Brian is pretty upfront too.

Not sure about Alan on "Sunshine", unless you mean the prominent background part he sings.  In the TV special they did for this album, Mike mentions how he, Carl and Brian share the three-part lead.

Yeah, I meant the "dum-dum" bit. I'll alter that (and listen for Bruce on SAW) as soon as I get a proper chance, as well as adding a note about Bri on School Days.

Bruce should be a prominent back up on School Days, because his annoying "Oh, oh, oh OH"part is repetitive as hell and is mixed way too loudly.

I just noticed that Carl sings a prominent background line in the choruses of "Santa Ana Winds" (sorry if that's already been mentioned).

Jumping back to MIU for a minute...did you ever give Brian credit for singing the line of the choruses on "My Diane" ? ("Shadows haunt me night and day", etc.)

I've got him at the end "I...I love you Diane", but I don't have him there; I didn't know it was him, I'll take a listen.

I think he does.  Listen to the original "New Album" version...Dennis sings it there.  Then listen to the official "MIU" version...to me, it sounds just like Brian.

I think c-man is right. Although I'm not sure yet. I always thought there was something funny about that line in "My Diane". It seems to be a change in main vocalist, though there are two parts in harmony and they're about equally prominent. I'll have to listen again to see if it's Brian (and whoever else).

I always thought it was Brian and Dennis, but I haven't gone and listened to it to confirm that impression.

I will have to play them. I do remember a mixing difference on those lines.

After listening to "My Diane" a few more times I think it is Brian and Carl on the last line of the verses. Neither part sounds like Dennis and the lower part (which is slightly more prominent) sounds slightly rough and like Brian in this era, whereas the higher part is very smooth and sounds like Carl. It also makes sense that it might be them because they definitely sing the three part chorus (" everything is wrong and nothing is right") with Dennis (Brian on top in falsetto, Dennis starting in the middle and going down the scale, crossing over Carl's part which goes up the scale).

So perhaps that would would  count as a Brian lead?

A "cameo" lead, I would think.

This was taken from the DVD rather than the CD, by the way. It's easier to tell, of course, when you can see the artist performing, and also...ahem.. I don't own the CD.

Bruce and Bobby on choruses, what about Al? And Mike sings on the GOK tag too. Al sings on the beginning of BTTYS, Mike the bride on Do It Again and Mike should get a special credit for singing Papa Oom Mow Mow on Barbara Ann.  Wink   And of course too for the bass part on KTSA. BTW I can cleary hear Dennis singing too with Mike the low harmony on Surfer Girl.

Thank you so much for bringing this thread back! Up for discussion:

I don't think Mike deserves his own credit on Surfer Girl.  Its either group vocal on harmony or list them all individually, Mike doesn't stand out enough for me. It should just be Brian bridge, Al verses and falsetto, Group harmonies.

I do think Mike deserves a credit on the tag of Lady Lynda though.

California Girls should be group on choruses. Alan and Bruce on tag

Alan on BTTYS tag maybe as well for the falsetto?
