Pet Smile vol. 2 ideas?

Alright, for those fans of the compilation: Pet Smile, I was thinkin of ideas for putting together a 2nd vol. of Pet Sounds/Smile influenced songs from then and now. For those unaware of Pet Smile and it's awesomeness, it's a variety of songs from the 60s to now with a Pet Sound or Smile influence....ranging from First Class' Beach Baby to Eric Carmen's Never gonna Fall in Love again to the Wondermints' Tracey Hide.
I figured I'd start with a couple ideas:
-Fleet Foxes: He Doesn't Know Why (very pet sounds-esq...plus the goats in the studio in the music video)
-Beatles: Here There and Everywhere
-Van Dyke Parks/John C. Riley: Black Sheep (from Walk Hard soundtrack)
-Burt Bacharach: Nikki (very pet sounds)
-any Weezer ideas?
any other ideas?

I doubt there was ever an influence, but stuff like Fuga No. II and Caminhante Noturno from the second Os Mutantes album reek of a Smile-esque sound. Of course, Brian never wrote Arnaldo Baptista a letter asking him to reform Os Mutantes and open for the Beach Boys.

Make a cut of the track 'Good Laugh Mun' by the Flaming Groovies (album: 'Now!'), so that the last 30 seconds are preserved. Do a loop and also make a nice fade-in. That is as Pet Sounds as it gets.

Tim Hardin's "Baby Close Its Eyes".
Always reminds me of "Pet Sounds", especially the intro.

While "Beach Baby" does indeed have a definite BB influence, it owes exactly nothing to either
Pet Sounds
or
Smile
and precisely everything to
All Summer Long
and
Summer Days
.
REM - "At My Most Beautiful"
Gary Griffin - "Geronimo Leaps"
Jeff Foskett - "Thru My Window", "Love Of My Own"
Fraternal Order Of The All - "Love Tonight"

...or Costello's "Favorite Hour" (from BRUTAL YOUTH) which the singer claimed was his attempt to write a song like "Surf's Up".

(a daring contribution)
Tom Verlaine: 'The Scientist Writes A Letter' (from 'Flash Light'). I get shivers every time, it's so hauntingly beautiful. Always reminds me of 'Surf's Up'. But I might be mistaken by thinking that everyone else has the same associations.
Listen for yourselves.

AGD sez: While "Beach Baby" does indeed have a definite BB influence, it owes exactly nothing to either Pet Sounds or Smile and precisely everything to All Summer Long and Summer Days.
Gotta disagree--there's a french horn line near the end that is a very obvious ripoff of the one from "God Only Knows"--so that's a hair less than exactly nothing. Otherwise, yeah, I agree.

I agree AGD, but it was the only thing I could think of that early in the morning, a couple bowls later (
)
Also, I'm thinking that cut of Love Tonight is actually on Pet Smile, great song btw.

Actually it's a riff from Sibelius' 5th symphony, the same one that Strawberry Switchblade used for their 1984 hit "Since Yesterday".

I admit to having no idea what's on volume 1, but it seems that a few obvious choices might be 1) approximately half of
Pet Soul
by Splitsville (I'll let you guess which half) and 2) plenty of Apples in Stereo's
Her Wallpaper Reverie

The horns at the ending of 'Beach Baby' are clearly playing a melody from 'Let's Go To San Francisco' by The Flower Pot Men - a song that lead singer Tony Burrows and songwriter John Carter had previously collaborated on.

Really, virtually the entire E6 qualifies, in that about a third to a half of it in the early years (say, '96-'02, before Elf Power hit its straightforward pattern and Of Montreal went funky) existed pretty much to praise Smile. (With the others in their Beatles-Kinks bag.) It's just a matter of which songs you want to pick.
