I love being "shut down" by AGD. I would never question his judgement when it comes to matters Beach Boys. But in my defense, I saw the song done live before I heard the record. So whatever you say. I stand corrected.

Have to say, I was also wetting myself laughing at what Billy was wearing (Elvis style jump suit that lit up like a Christmas tree) so it's entirely possible that my observations were compromised.  Grin

I'm guessing Carl wanted nothing to do with the whole thing. Notice he's absent from the video as well.

Hearing "Kokomo" on the radio makes me want to strangle a baby.

i wouldn't strangle a baby, but yeah that song is poop.  But it's better than the other 80's poop floating in the beach boys toilet.

Pat, pat, pat, pat her on the butt...........my girl friend penny ,shes kind of skinny, and so she needs her falsies on..........

there have been occasions when I have pushed the skip button on these for fear that someone would hear me listening to such warped and bizarre stuff..


and I hate Barbara f........Ann as much as AGD!....but others have complained when I hit the skip button on this one.  Go figure.

Can't answer your original question about the BW vocals on the record, but Brian was never on stage with the band when it was done live in concert and it sounded pretty much the same as the record. By the way, what a scene it was to see The Fat Boys come waltzing out the first time. Turned alot of heads.

I've seen the band do it live (lead vocals: Billy Hinsche) and it sounded nothing at all like the record.

Within the limits of my ability, I've deconstructed the track, and the only voice I hear is Brian's. I stand to be corrected, of course, but currently, that's my strong belief. I suspect the subtle hand of one Eugene E. Landy...

How did you do it? 
BTW, when I think of AGD listening to Wipe Out, I'm sure his face is cringing.

Just re-listened to Wipe Out, first time in years...so gag worthy....I think as a kid, I thought it sounded cool, but couldn't wait for Make it Big to come on....I did like Brian's harmonies in the background on Wipe Out though.

This maybe deviates from the main subject somewhat (but hey F'U' , I started it!  LOL ) but does anyone know what the deal was with the backing vocals to "Wipe Out"? In AGD's book he states that it's been thought by those in the know that only Brian is vocally present here (excluding the Fat Boys rapping). When I first read that I thought he had flipped but a quick listen reveals ~ no Carl or Al whatsoever, 99% certain no Mike and possibly (could be wrong) only a tiny bit of Bruce on the "HEEEEEEEY WATCH OUT!" part. Why would Brian vocally dominate a tune that Mike and Bruce started at a time when he was pretty much on the outs with the band? A big mystery.

Also if I had never heard this song many times as kid  growing up I would put it high on my top 10 list of hated tunes.

Gary Usher produced a session where Brian, Mike, Al, and Bruce recorded vocals for the track.  Carl reportedly wanted nothing to do with it .  But, like many others, I've always only ever heard Brian's voice, and in the beginning thought Mike might possibly be doing the low voice.  But have no proof.

To be fair, I always used to think that "Solar System" was a BW solo effort too, so I could be wrong here too. But... I still can only hear one voice in the bvs.

Yeah they are clearly Brian in SHOUTY 80's mode.

In G Usher's book he states that he had a big bust up with Al before the session took place and a falling out with Bruce of sorts during the recording. Perhaps this was all Gary's doing as a "up yours" to them all but to be honest he didn't strike me as that kind of guy.

I'm sure that I will hear that this doesn't count, but it does for me. Duke of Earl in the setlist for so long was atrocious. Nothing else even comes close!

Yeah, probably doesn't count, but I think that DOE is the most pointless inclusion on the setlists of the past decade...it lasted about 6 years or so?  Crazy!  Thank you to Scott Totten for stopping the madness!

Agreed...I'd rather hear Mike do a cover from LBWL....   Grin



Let alone, Mike is just confusing the average BB fan by performing that, now that fan's ipod has the Duke of Earl by the Beach Boys, haha....same goes for performing Sherry

This situation illustrates a major point. It took Scott Totten to get that drek of a song off the list? Really? And all the while Bruce is standing there? Really?
Well, Bruce has said when asked about DOE that, " Mike likes it." What a lackey.

Got to be honest here, Why Do Fools Fall In Love needs a break too! I know they actually cut it, but it just sounds out of place.  It has been in the setlist for several years now, they make way too big a deal out of it at the concerts (it was a B Side cover and not your best guys)

Just my personal opinion, but I actually enjoyed "Why Do Fools Fall In Love" and "Duke Of Earl" as part of the set lists. I'm also a fan of old Doo Wop records in general, and I think those were a huge influence on Mike's work, and really added something to the classic BB sound.

 Yes, 6 years is a long time to be performing a cover of a song that the band never actually recorded; but how long have they been playing Barbara Ann? I'd rather see them play up their Doo Wop/Vocal Group influence than pretend that their a bunch young and hip guys trying to stay current; that's the music that influenced them.

I say bring back "Riot In Cell Block #9"!!   Smiley

I Love DooWop too, but Duke of Earl ain't the best example. What would be cool would be for the BBs to perform "Gee" by The Crows, or "Get A Job" by The Silhouettes!

I've never heard the DOE cover but I can just hear Mike doing the intro base.

DITTO on the appreciation of Scott.  A jewel in the crown of the touring BB band.

I definitely can't think of a top 10. But here's a top 5 from Worst to Best:

05: Wipeout
04: Kona Coast
03: California Calling
02: Sumahama
01: Summer Of Love


Runner-ups include the rest of the SIP album, most of MIU, almost all of 15 Big Ones and KTSA, and Catch A Wave. Problem is, I can't properly rank all of this
