Best Beach Boys cover album ever?

Just came across this on iTunes, a release from 1996, according to the blurb:
Beach Boys Songs for Dancing, by the Klaus Hallen Tanz Orchester
[sic]
.
Includes such classics as Slow Summer Dancing (I've
never
heard of this being covered before) and Kokomo.
There are sound clip samples too.
Enjoy!

I have a strange favourite: 'Add Some Music' by Gary Usher (Poptones). Sugary? Yes. Muzaky? Yes. Good? I don't know. But late at night with a candle lit and a glass of wine it is strangely alluring.

No, no Don... I'm in a relationship... I'm happy... I'm sorry... maybe if you'd offered Murray Wilson's Plumbers Tune I'd've been drawn in... I'm sorry, sorry...

"The California Project" by Papa Doo Run Run with the usual Telarc "no compression or limiting". In the early days of CDs it was a very impressives sound.

YES!!! SMiLiNG Pets is great!! Especially Dm3's cover of GV, which incorporates Tony Asher's original lyrics and a bunch of the sections of the song that Brian rejected. And how can you go wrong with a band called Seagull Screaming Kiss Her Kiss Her covering "You Still Believe In Me" with a Japanese accent in broken English??!!!

Scoff if you must, but I also enjoy MOST of the "Stars and Stripes" album.

The all-time best Beach Boys covers album has to be SMILEY" by the Japanese duo Toru & Kojima from ca 1997. Wrong chords, chintzy instrumentation, and heavily-accented broken English "singing" of highly suspect pitch make this a camp classic.
You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll cringe. Often at the same time.
But you'll be highly entertained.
Their version of "Please Let Me Wonder" is unbridled primitive genius!

Oh, THE SURFSIDERS SING THE BEACH BOYS HITS is an awesome album, with possibly the best version of "When I Grow Up" ever (imagine it being done by a fourth-rate Coasters tribute band that has no idea what the actual chords are).
But you really have to hear the Toru & Kojima.

I've heard of something like this before. If it's what I'm thinking of, they did a lot of then-recently released songs, and Summer in Paradise was the most recent album.

I know that Surfsiders LP. Tremendous stuff. On Little Honda, the lead singer sounds so scared that you'd imagine his undies are not clean at all anymore. And how they completely manage to ruin the intro of California Girls... that is pure deconstructive DaDa art to me.

Deconstructive DaDa art; that's perfect! But then the album is a budget release on the budget Design label using sub-budget musicians and singers playing arrangements that are chordally wrong vocally and iinstrumentally. Considering all that, the recording quality is surprisingly good - and true stereo - so go figure.
There's still some question as to whether Lou Reed does some singing on "Little Deuce Coupe" and "Surfin'" though I believe the current thinking is leaning towards him NOT being on the album (He was involved with several other albums and singles on this and other budget labels prior to forming the Velvet Underground).

When I was still friends with Darian Sahanaja, he was totally convinced it was going to be worth so much $$ because Lou Reed was on it.
