Put a nickel in the jukebox, assuming you can locate a jukebox, and that you remember what a nickel is.
Here's legendary Beach Boy Brian Wilson singing lead and 10-part harmonies on "Speed Turtle."
The incomparable Neil Sedaka crooning "Your Nose." B. B. King brings you a wistful "One Shoe Blues," Gerry and the Pacemakers offer "Mersey Lullaby," and relative newcomer (in this seasoned company) Patti LuPone of "Evita" fame sings—what else—the "Rabbit Tango." And then there's the hit single from Boynton's Your Personal Penguin sung by the impossibly cute Davy Jones of The Monkees. I mean jeepers, even Sha Na Na is here.

Rule of thumb, think BEFORE you post. And THINK how it may affect someone else's feelings.
Check out the
Beach Boys Starline
website, the place for pictures of many countries Beach Boys releases on 45.
Listening to you I get the music; Gazing at you I get the heat; Following you I climb the mountain; I get excitement at your feet
Right behind you I see the millions; On you I see the glory; From you I get opinions; From you I get the story

You can hear a small snippet of the track in the video on the page you gave the link to... But I had never, EVER heard of it.
The woman in the video states that "they" (who? Not Brian) wrote a "beach boys" kind of song, and Brian agreed to sing and arrange it. It sounds very synth-ish, low-cost production though.
I've watched it again and the (complete?) lyrics are readable in the video:
I want to tell you of the most amazing thing I know
You've got to just stand back now, and watch it go
It is compact, streamlined, built to last
Shiny and green and so incredibly fast
It's a SPEED TURTLE! Whoa ho!
It's a SPEED TURTLE! Oh no!
Man alive, it's in overdrive, go, little turtle, go, go
You know, it makes a little humming noise and moves like lightning
Its superstock power is a little bit frightening
And when that maniac gets going, well hang on to your hat
It can tear across the road in just three hours flat!
It's a SPEED TURTLE! Whoa ho!
It's a SPEED TURTLE! Oh no!
Man alive, it's in overdrive, go, little turtle, go, go

Great find SMiLE-Holland... I never realised that this even existed so thats kinda neat to see Brian guest appearing on another album even if it isn't that great of a song

Sounds like Spider-Pig to me....
Would love to hear it. this year we got alot of new recordings by Brian. I'm very thankful for that.

a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.
- Lester Bangs on The Beach Boys
PRO SHOT BEACH BOYS CONCERTS - LIST
To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.
