Myth: Brian sang God Only Knows on the outtake on the Pet Sounds Box Set.
Fact: It was a mistake, much like Brian singing Be Here In There Morning and that Daddy Dear song.
Then who sang Daddy Dear if it wasn't Brian?

I'm confused, what was the mistake? Are you saying that Brian did not sing God Only Knows on the outtake on the Pet Sounds Box set?

Yep, that's what he's saying. Here you can listen again:

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

Alan. And also, for the record, it *was* Brian on "Walkin'".

The "Brian sings God Only Knows" myth is such an insidious one that I had to post for the first time in a long time to repudiate it. It is definitely factual that Carl sings all takes, inasmuch as it is a fact that the sun is hot. We feel its heat on our backs, and likewise we hear Carl's voice.

You are actually the one embracing the myth. I've heard the master tape for Denny's drums, and Dennis is definitely playing drums on it. There is a tom overdub in there, and an edited bit that pastes the second section onto the first, a huge stretch might allow that one or the other of those bits wasn't him...but i seriously doubt it. They recorded a bunch of stuff that day for the Shut Down vol. 2 LP and he's the drummer on all of it.

I've always wondered about Denny's drums - that's why I posted the "myth." Just to tweak things a bit.

Myth: Brian Wilson used session musicians on virtually all of his records with the BBs.
Fact: The Boys' playing is all over their classic albums, including a track on Pet Sounds.

I like the Beatles a bit more than the Boys of Beach, I think Brian's band is the tops---really amazing. And finally, I'm liberal. That's it.

Myth: Kokomo was a huge hit that gave the group a massive comeback
Fact: Actually, when the song was first released, it tanked. It was only by dumb luck that a movie picked it up and gave it more exposure. It then became a number one hit...for about one week, I believe. As far as the "comback" is concerned...all I have to say are two words: Full House.

A U.K. reporter asked Brian, in his comeback year 1988, how much money he'd spent on drugs.
Without the slightest sign of doubt, he replied immediately: 'Oh, $ 100,000'.
Something tells me this is not true.

Fact:
Cocktail
was released July 29th 1988
Fact: "Kokomo" charted September 3rd and hit #1 November 5th during a 28-week chart run. 15 of those weeks were spent in the Top 40.
Fact: the song was always set to be in the movie - in fact it was nominated for a Grammy in the "Best Song written specifically for a Motion Picture or Television" category.

I just had a quick listen, but the only thing that stuck out to me that was similar to what you said was when Al/Brian says "I forgot the darn song"
