Kanye has mentiond pet sounds in his blog before as an inspiration.

Wouldn't be suprised if he got along with Brian

Somebody even made a kanye west vs beach boys album, where they mixed pet sounds with his college droput album, was amazing







"hey brian, ima let you sing in a minute"
"why does no one else have sheet music? are we that old?  snoop?"
"i love that me and al are in orange cream. and i like my chair"

 Grin Grin

I am not or never will be a Kanye West fan but this mashup you mentioned is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. And I actually turned my son-in-law onto Pet Sounds by giving him a copy of both (he's a dj who is into rap). Look for this one if you get a chance.

To quote Morrisey, when asked to take part in Live Aid: 'Do we really have to be made to suffer as much as those we're trying to help?'
The original version of We Are The World was horrendous. I haven't yet heard the remake, although if Simon Cowell's Haiti fund-raising single is anything to go by - a breathtakingly hideous cover of Everybody Hurts, featuring Leona Lewis doing her vocal gymnastics schtick - it'll make me want to vomit myself inside out!
I know it's for a good cause but if I want to give money to the people suffering in Haiti then i'll just donate it, quietly, without announcing it to everyone I know, and without buying some awful chari-dee single. And I wish celebrities would just do the same. I find it very distasteful that, say, sandra Bullock can't just donate a million pounds to haiti - she has to publicly announce that she's doing it. Is that benefiting the Haiti people or Sandra Bullock's public image? I mean, did you see john travolta using the tragedy as a means to promote his barmy religion? Horrid, horrid, horrid. Just give them the money, celebs, you've got enough of the stuff - and keep it to yourselves when you do.

Sorry, these things annoy me. So yeah, I wish Brian (and Al) weren't involved with such an awful song!

Postcard from California, featuring cameos from Crosby, Young, Steve Miller, Brian Wilson, Flea, and KANYE WEST.

That's why Al's taking so long. He has to tweak the autotune on Kanye's rap in Help Me Rhonda.

Autotune on Don't Fight the Sea would be great. I could totally picture it as an electropop song.

The song's cheese factor is duly noted, but I've always had a soft spot for this song.  At least the 1985 version.  Where else are you going to hear Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Kenny Rogers, Paul Simon and Bob Dylan all sing on the same track with the likes of Bruce Springsteen and Ray Charles?  This new version will probably be a disaster, with or without Beach Boy involvement.

I think it's cool that this is being attempted again with a different batch of celebrities... but in the end, it just feels like another in the looooooong line of "Michael's dead, AND profitable!" cash-ins.

This song didn't even need an overblown all-star recording - Michael's solo demo (with admittedly weaker lyrics) was pretty damn good on its own.

Well that was...interesting.  Could have done with out the rap and the auto-tuned "singing," but parts of it were decent.  Obviously I'm biased, but I would think that Brian has earned himself a solo line over people like Enrique Iglesias, Miley Cyrus or Justin Beiber, but it was cool to see him there either way.  It's nice that they kept MJ in there too, that made me happy.

I too liked the fact they kept Michael in there.

Though I have to say I don't like it. Original is much better, imo. I enjoyed the Maroon 5 singer/Tony Bennett parts. I agree with you, Chris Brown, that Brian earns a solo line, thought about that while watching. I did find it funny Al digging the rap part. Auto-tune on Don't Fight The Sea would be pretty hilarious. I can hear it though haha

I am soooooo out of touch. When the 1985 version came out, I could identify everybody in the video. For this 2010 version, I need captions underneath because I have no idea who half of those people are.

I find myself liking the demo more! I didn't think remaking it was necessary but... I guess as long as it goes to a good cause.

Yeah, I didn't know who anyone was this time around either.  I recognized Tony Bennett, Barbra Streisand, Josh Groban, Brian, Al, and Jeff Bridges.  I think I saw Snoop Dogg in there too, and I recognized T-Pain from the autotune.

But otherwise.... eh.

I was watching the morning news when  the "Everybody Hurts" video came on. Christ I nearly chocked on my muesli!!  Anytime something with the likes of James Blunt and Susan Boyle is about to be shown on telly there should be a flash warning in the top of the screen for a full 5 minutes beforehand!! Just more 'celebs' using a tragedy to get public exposure and boost their careers.

T-Pain never fails to creep me out. That rap part made me think of outdated "nu metal" rubbish like Linkin Park.

I think as a whole this is even worse than the original, which is quite an accomplishment, isn't it?

If you know half the people, that's about 3 times as many as I knew.  I could probably count 15 people out of the 85 that I knew.

Just watched a second time.  The song just falls apart the last minute and a half or so.  Celine Dion's part is especially annoying as well.  It's all for a good cause, so I'm glad it will sell well, and I'll probably buy it, too.  But I won't be listening to it very much.

Well... it's a charity single for an outstanding cause, so should be above criticism [you know what's coming, dontcha ?].

But... it's too damn long, the rap sections are just utterly out of place, not to mention disrupting both the flow and the atmosphere, and Celine Dion manages to be even more irritating than Cyndi Lauper was first time around. MJ was a nice touch.

And yeah, I feel biblical now - discounting BDW & ACJ, I knew maybe six, seven faces.

I say there's no shame on not recognizing people. These are performers marketed to a specific audience, and with all due respect to all involved (including myself), most of the people posting here are not in that audience. That is, unless there are more tweens and teens here than I thought. (I know we've got a few teens.)

I'm trying to figure out what Wyclef Jean yells at 6:30.  It's probably something in Haitian Creole, but it sure sounds like "Tamales!!!"
