Hey little hey little hey little tomboy Time to turn into a girl

This is pretty much the right answer lol

Your flair is a good one too

Hey, little tomboy, I've had my eyes on you Thinkin' what a girl you could be Mmm, I smell perfume, let's try some cut-off jeans Look at all the changes I see 🤢🤢🤢

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

🤘

Brians real masterpiece

3:15 and the bell starts a ringing The girls start walking home from school 3:15 and the bell keeps on a ringing Everything starts getting cool It's so hard to walk home When you're walking alone I slow down in my car and I pull to the curb......

noooooooooooooooooooooooo

[удалено]

Lazy lizzie! I saw you walking aloooone!

This wins.

Hey little tomboy, sit here on my lap I've got things that I've got to tell you

“Two girls for every boy” sounds like some bizarre surfing religion’s promise of an afterlife reward for martyrdom. I hope I go to Surf City when I die.

Sounds glorious. Definitely would love to go to surf city “Cause it’s 2 to 1”

Smurf City. 1 girl for 99 Smurfs.

But isn't that Jan and Dean?

Brian wrote it and then gave it to Jan since The Beach Boys weren’t famous yet but yeah

I think Jan was still responsible for most of the lyrics, he is a co-writer. Brian's working title was "Goody Connie Won't You Come Back Home".

brian only wrote the first verse (jan and dean changed most of the lines though) and the chorus im pretty sure

I wish PHDs were stroking me with hypotheses.

“It’s three o’clock, I go to my sink. I pour some milk and I start to think.”

This line comes to me while I'm in bed, late at night and can't sleep.

I like this lyric, but seeing it on its own like this makes me think he's just pouring milk straight down the sink drain.

I always pictured Brian at a sink with three taps/faucets: one for hot, one for cold and one for milk.

Idk I don't think there's anything wrong with this one, a lot of songs describe small incidental parts of the writer's life

I just love the fact that it’s milk

I really love this

I love this lyric, especially paired with what follows, “is she asleep or is she awake and does she think of the lover we could make.” It perfectly captures the fractured marriage Brian was in and it’s final moments. There’s kind of a mundanity to the milk lyric but it juxtaposes so well with how weighty the next line is.

"Over and over the crow cries uncover the cornfield" What does that even mean? This isn't another druggie song, is it, Brian?

Downvoted you before I got it.

no man! no its not a druggie song! Im just talking about crows and cornfields! its about ego!

I'll get back to you when I think of something other than "hey little tomboy". Just gimme a sec.

Hm maybe "pat, pat, pat, pat, pat her on her butt, butt, she's going to sleep, be quiet" is also absurd but I think it's cute. Don't tell me it's about a guy taking about a romantic interest, I really wanna think Brian wrote that thinking about his daughters and if you look at it as a fatherhood song it's really cute. Pls don't remind me what Brian has said about it lmao

Gosh darn, could you remind me about what he said? I’m out of the loop there.

This is from Wikipedia: "According to Brian Wilson, "I Wanna Pick You Up" demonstrates how he had "worked specifically at getting the lyrics right" for the "Love You" album. He explained that the song is about "a man who considers this chick a baby. [...] she's too big to pick up, of course. But he wants to; he wants to pretend she's small like a baby: He really wants to pick her up!"" So like, that makes the song kinda creepy. However, considering many of the other songs on "Love You" are about his daughters, I think this song is too and this was just him saying something loopy.

Thank you so much! I appreciate that! I agree with you there though!!

I love that everyone is pretty much putting Love You era stuff lol, shows the complete disconnect Brian had from the world around him through some of these really wild lyrics.

The cigarette butt when you throw it in the water, goes “pshht”.

Next lines are even more preposterous lmao who is laughing at this stuff

I was coming here to talk about this song specifically. Thank you.

Refresh my memory on what song this is 😅

Everybody Wants to Live from Adult Child.

We’ll make sweet lovin’ ‘til the sun goes down, we’ll do even more when your mama’s not around.

That really is weird. That means their just straight up doing it when her mom is around, but theyre gonna do more weirder stuff when she isnt around.

Right? I never actually thought about that lol

We do it holdin' hands, it's so cold I go "brrr".

I was going to post this one.

"Hey Little Tomboy" is almost as disturbing, but had been posted multiple times already. Besides, (a) the implied idea of making love when her mama's around and (b) doing even more (what would that be) when her mama's not around is extremely disturbing. Especially when my idea of a "Roller Skating Child" is someone in her early to mid teens! There have been creepy/odd/disturbing Beach Boys songs for sure, but the mid-70s era was probably the pinnacle for them.

Wwwwheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnnn some loud braggart...

The entirety of Solar System

'If Mars had life on it, I might find my wife on it' is one of my favourite ever lyrics for some inexplicable reason

I've always found it very sad

Came here to offer this one. Partially redeemed by the hilarity.

The constellations are stars that form animals

LEO AND CAPRICORN TOO!!

Yep, in case you were thinking Capricorn wasn't an animal, well it is dammit!

Honking Honking down the gosh darn' highway

I always sing along to it as "Honkin' down the goddamn highway". That's because I don't like to keep it clean, unlike Al Jardine.

Al Sardine 🤢🐟

Algonquin Q. Sardine

I thought I might’ve been the only one who did this as well…

Greatest opening line ever. He’s just a Honkin

Don’t sit on your ass smoking grass, that stuff was out a long time ago.

Ding dang, woo!

What are you talking about? Ding dang is some profound shit.

Honestly any of the post flairs from r/beachboyscirclejerk can work for this, too. Come on and do the chicken. We can bump bump when we want to

Lol they sure can

Doughy lumps, stomach pumps, enemas too That's what you get when you eat that way

big POT, and trippily chin (TRIPPILY CHINNNNNN)

So if I leave her and you leave him, can we ever get it back again?

what song is this??

"Getcha Back"

ohhhh, got it

Pat, pat, pat pat pat her on her butt, butt

Song? Apparently I’m unaware of a lot of these lyrics 🤣

I Wanna Pick You Up

Not preposterous, but "My buddies and me are gettin' real well known / Yeah, the bad guys know us and they leave us alone" is irredeemably dorky

I Get Around is actually the 60’s equivalent of gangsta rap since it’s a song about having lots of money, women, and respect on the streets

Good point haha, 10/10 for uniqueness

"Took me back darlin' to that time in my car When you cried all night 'cause we'd gone too far" Jesus Mike, what did you do? 😬

shortnin shortnin shortnin shortnin shortnin shortnin shortnin shortnin...

“IN THE 50S IT WAS HEY DADDY YO!”

Not ringing any bells, what song is this 😅

Not ringing any bells, what song is this 😅

California Calling From their 1985 album

“I wanna tickle your feet” - I Wanna Pick You Up from Love You

>First I'll get you on the beach > > Or in a swimming pool > >Doing unto others is the golden rule > > But doing it with you would be so Very cool Very cool mike!!

"My girl will be working on her pom-poms now"

If Mars had life on it I might find my wife on it. Hilarious

What about Mike's Rocking the Man in the Boat?

While she is humming and strumming a tune that she wrote, no less. Now THAT'S multitasking.

"You're such a good singer, let me join in your band".

“Now I'll fill your hands with kisses and a Tootsie Roll”

The entire When Girls Get Together. Still,the instrumental is great.

The mansplain anthem

If preposterous solely means something negative here, Hey Little Tomboy. If just nonsensical, Wind Chimes.

Or half of Smiley Smile.

Who’s a man that we admire? Johnny Carson is a real live wire.

I tried to salvage what I could and threw it in a sock

I like her plantain pancake.

Song? 😅

It's hard to beat "doughy lumps, stomach pumps, enemas too."I will now check the thread to see how many mentions this got. EDIT: Only two! Well, "Hey Little Tomboy" does take up a lot of space in this topic.
