Okay; the User Info says no 'exciting as a filk song (ugh)' intro's, so-o-o;
Born in '55, so I was 10 when I heard the only two BB tracks from my childhood, Barbara Ann and California Girls, as my two siblings, 5 and 8 years my senior, controlled the radio and the mono (we didn't have a 'stereo') when our folks weren't around, and therefore, 1), since they were not into the Beach Boys, we only heard them occasionally by accident, and 2), I was not like most pre-teens then in that I could not understand this sudden trebling of interest in rock and roll music that had started subsuming our society after the onset of the Beatles. I was more into science fiction, actually.
However, I did like the occasional pop/rock single, thought the Monkees had a funny TV show, etc, but otherwise avoided hard rock (still do, for the most part). But in 1972 while at a teen summer camp, with 4 years of school choir under my belt, every morning at breakfast in the dining hall, someone would spin a copy of the 1969 Capitol compilation 'Good Vibrations', and the rock finally fell on my head, as I marvelled and tried to analyze/unravel these inhumanly intricate harmonies. I have been amassing BB music and trivia since. Don't what dan, exactly, but I'm definitely black belt level in that last regard.
So, for my first post, what did you all think of that artist who, for the 2000 cable movie What's Cookin'?, copied note for note, the 'Stack 'o Vocals' track of 'Wouldn't It Be Nice?' (from the 1996 Pet Sounds box set, most likely) for the movie's closing credits coda? Pretty bang-on arrangement, I'd say.
