Alright, I've wanted to do this for a long time. Let's make the infamous list of Beach Boy songs that morph from one tune or borrowed a riff to another. I'll throw the ones off the top of my head, but any help would be great!

RAGE~!



"Belles of Paris" to "On Christmas Day"( I think that was the name of the song).

[Myk Luhv]

I just listened to "Speed Turtle" to see why our glorious moderator hates it so, and it's really very boring with such an obviously phoned-in, uninterested lead and backing vocals from Brian. Why even bother recording it and giving it to the compilers? Everyone knows you're not interested in singing surf-car-girls songs anymore already, even if it's for the kiddies!

[Jay]

"Love To Say Dada" ended up being "Cool Cool Water". Part of "Wind Chimes" ended up in "Been Way To Long". The melody to "All This Is That" ends up in "Happy Days".  This raises a question though. Exactly how do we tell the difference between melodies morphing into other songs, and "musical references", where something from one song is quoted in another song, in a deliberate way? Let's use Brian's Back as an example. "You Still Believe In Me" is quoted at the end of "Brian's Back", but it's more of a deliberate reference to another song, as apposed to one melody idea progressing from one song to another.

A thing or two -> Do it again (you can sing the latter over parts of the former).

Whoa NO

Too cryptic for me. Care to explain?

Too cryptic for me. Care to explain?

On the second Celebration album (simply titles "Celebration") Mike & co covered Gettin' Hungry in a totally different style then one would expect. Plus that Da Love wrote an extra couplet just for kicks...

really? explain the whole All This is That being Happy days, I've never heard this theory

[Wirestone]

A couple of additions:

All Dressed Up For School -> H&V section -> Goin' On -> Nothing But Love tag

They're Marching Along does not change into Little Children. It is the same song with a different title. I'd be careful of stuff like that and Doin' Time on Planet Earth going to Being with the One you Love. Those songs, for example, are the same backing track and melody, with a slightly rewritten lyric. So has the song morphed? ... I dunno. The same goes for Black Widow -> Let's Do it Again, although there's slightly more transformation in the chorus there.

"Do Ya" -> "How's About A Little Bit"

The melodies for such lines as 'Dusk time the shadows fall / Into the timeless time of all' are rather similar to 'Happy days are here again / The sky is blue and clear again...'

[punkinhead]

Thanks, I'll have to listen up

Listen to the "happy days are here again, the sky is blue and clear again" part, and try singing the verses of All This Is That on top of it. It's very similar. At least, to me it is.
