We are making a compilation of songs with sun or sunshine, in the title or featureded prominently in the lyrics. For example, Warmth of the Sun or My Girl would fit into this mix. We will also include such nuggetts as Walkin on Sunshine, Hre Comes the Sun, I Can See Clearly Now, and Do it Again. I call upon the vast knowledge base of Smiley Smilers for assistance with this. We're looking forward to seeing your suggestions.

I kinda consider Up Up and Away by 5th Dimension a sunshine like song. -Come to the Sunshine (Van Dyke Parks) -part of the Beatles' Rain ("when the sun shines, they slip into the shade")
BB/BW songs I can think of: obviously: Sunshine (KTSA) and Sunshine (Imagination) It's Ok California Soulful Old Man Sunshine

To view my video documentation of my Beach Boys collection go to www.youtube.com/justinplank "Someone needs to tell Adrian Baker that imitation isn't innovation." -The Real Beach Boy ~post of the century~ "Well, you reached out to me too, David, and I'd be more than happy to fill Bgas's shoes. You don't need him anyway - some of us have the same items in our collections as he does and we're also much better writers. Spoiled brat....." -Mikie "in this online beach boy community, I've found that you're either correct or corrected. Which in my mind is all in good fun to show ones knowledge of their favorite band."- punkinhead

Do you just want BB related songs? If not "The Sun" by the Flaming Lips is great.

Sloan's Sunflower Sunflower is great, recently saw it on ebay with a promotional picture sleeve; went for an outrageous amount of money
- Rainbow People by The Fraternal Order Of The All (= Andrew Gold and Graham Gouldman); anybody knows their fantastic 60s style album "Greetings From Planet Love" ? nearly as good as the Dukes Of Stratosphear (=XTC) on "Psonic Psunspot" or "25 O'clock"

Good news for PF Sloan fans as Ace Records in the UK is reissuing his first two albums and non-album single cuts (including Sunflower, Sunflower) Scheduled for a May release it will be entitled `PF Sloan: Here's Where I Belong – The Best of the Dunhill Years 1965-67'. The running order will be as follows: Sins Of A Family Take Me For What I'm Worth What Exactly's The Matter With Me I'd Have To Be Out Of My Mind Eve Of Destruction This Mornin' I Get Out Of Breath This Is What I Was Made For Ain't No Way I'm Gonna Change My Mind All The Things I Do For You, Baby Goes To Show (Just How Wrong You Can Be) What Am I Doing Here With You From A Distance The Man Behind The Red Balloon Let Me Be Here's Where You Belong This Precious Time Halloween Mary I Found A Girl On Top Of A Fence Lollipop Train (You Never Had It So Good) Upon A Painted Ocean City Women A Melody For You Sunflower, Sunflower Karma (Study In Divinations) / I Can't Help But Wonder, Elizabeth So that's all of the first LP, most of the second (the missing tracks are When The Wind Changes, Patterns Seg.4) and all five of the non-LP 45 tracks. I don't suppose there will many mourners for Patterns – perhaps a few more for When the Wind, but although it's a shame to lose any of Phil's work something had to go in order to fit into the CD format. Rest assured that those that went did so with Phil's full agreement.

"Lazy Day" by Spanky And Our Gang
Blue sky, sunshine, what a day to take a walk in the park Ice cream, daydream till the sky becomes a blanket of stars What a day for pickin' daisies, and lots of red balloons And what a day for holdin' hands and bein' with you
