Yeah I enjoy it too..I think it's a ballsy pairing, putting these two songs together.

If Ricky and Blondie are there, they should do it to transition from smile songs to the early 1970s material.

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

I don't mind "Wonderbill" but it's an odd pairing. Also, "Wonderful" is going to make almost any other song by anyone sound like sh*t in comparison so it's indeed a bit of an anti-climax when it segues into "Bill"... That said, at least they were trying to create something new and original at the time and it's nice that Blondie and Ricky got to sing a couple of songs of their own in concert. "Leaving This Town" I think fit in particularly well with the group's other material.

For me it's one great song ("Wonderful"), one good song ("Bill"), and one bad pairing.  They're just too different in style and lyrical content to mesh well.  Must've been the drugs that made them think it'd work...

Ballsy is fine, but to graft a totally unrelated song onto one of the better Smile songs - the one from the '93 box set destroys me every time I hear it - it's unnecessary and really doesn't make any sense musically or lyrically, and doesn't really enhance or compliment either of the original tunes, in my opinion and as someone who considers the 1966 Wonderful a special song.

Some said having the Fat Boys rap with the Beach Boys was ballsy too, so...  Smiley

I remember listening to Wonderbill with my former girlfriend once. She was kind of staring blandly during the Wonderful part, and when the Bill part came on she smiled and began rocking her head. Now I stared at her in disbelief - she really liked that part that was to so uninteresting to me because in my mind any garage band could come up with that.

(Obviously, I won't go looking for the Flame LP... Grin)

I'll line my underwear with really expensive things that would be ruined by my shitting on them, just because I know it's never gonna happen.
