No way man, the biggest jump scare on a Beach album is on Smiley Smile where Wind Chimes gently fades to nothing....and then....SUPER LOUD ORGAN!! on the song Gettin' Hungry.
I like it the fish eye lens, Steve! Listening to "Keepin' the Summer Alive" on vinyl when first released through an old tube stereo console (which my Mom found at a garage sale) left a lasting impression on me. When the track "When Girls Get Together" came on, the "bomp-bomp,bomp" of the bass drum (or timpani?) would shake the room. My bones are still rattling! Good episode, guys.
Hey Betamax, cool to see you chatting it up with a fellow fan. I've been working at the computer so much lately, listening to lots of music so I'll check out these weirder picks.
Enjoyed this, just like I enjoyed Pt.1! Wished you hadn't skipped over Stars & Stripes, Vol. 1 CD. Can see the picks you both made for each album. For 1979's L.A. (Light Album), not surprising (except for the late 1970s setting) that "Shortnin' Bread" was recorded and included on the album. It's a song Brian seems to have had an obsession with. Also, it seems to be a song (For whatever reasons) a bunch of '60s surfing groups took a liking to. The Astronauts recorded a live version of it, placing it on their second album, which was a concert appearance. The Pyramids and Trashmen may also have recordings of it. I would take anything Bruce tells you (In this instance, about the history of the song "She Believes In Love Again") with a grain of salt. So, he offered the song to Hall & Oates (A very successful recording duo during this time) and, of course, they turned the song down. WHY would they want a song from someone who had only written ONE hit (Barry Manilow's "I Write The Songs" from nearly 10 years before!) who was a member of a band that hadn't had a hit song or album in nearly 20 years at this point. Bruce has also claimed that Keith Moon of the Who wanted to join the Beach Boys, and that the Beach Boys and Who were considering recording an album together during the early 1970s.
If we do Part 3, we will indeed cover Stars & Stripes! I never realized Shortenin' Break was such a go-to song for so many; that's good to know. I've never seen any evidence to back up what Bruce told me, so you're right about that but who knows, maybe he thought he had an "in" with someone and that would get the song done. Glad he ultimately worked with Carl on it though as it's my favorite song from Beach Boys '85. Thanks for the great comment!
great conclusion just great to see you both having so much fun, sorry i really like wipeout its fun something music now has forgotten about, cheers, part three yes please
Using the original definition of songs that are out of place, Everyone's in Love With You sticks out a lot on 15 Big Ones. Unless you redefine weird as worst song or strangest song. Talk to Me fits the vibe of 15 Big Ones perfectly.
The only reason Talk to Me feels so weird to me is because of the Tallahassee Lassie bit. It comes from nowhere and doesn't suit the song at all. A straight version of Talk to Me would be much more grounded in my eyes. Everyone's in Love with You is a good choice for oddball too but I think it kind of goes with TM Song and even Had to Phone Ya to a degree.
They could have cheated and put "Talk to Me/ Tallahassee Lassie" to give us at least a little warning. I know some releases call it "Talk to Me (Medley)" so I guess that kind of counts. But they definitely couldn't have made it a proper 16th song.

You're right- I forgot about that one!
Great Video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
These are great videos! Hopefully a 3rd will be soon!!
I'm willing if Steve is! We'll have to decide what albums we're going to cover though.
@@betamaxblocker I will be looking out for it!
Would love to hear a whole video of you guys talking about Thats Why God Made The Radio. I think Steve never talked about it in his channel
That's a good subject for a future video!
Yes 👍 indeed. So Happy to See PART 2 of Weirdest Beach 🏝 Boys songs! Great work!
Part 3 might be coming someday...
Nice video! Great to hear your thoughts!

Used to not think much of the album but after a few listens i find it one of their best from the later years
As long as nothing got broken... Thanks for the great comment!

It was lots of fun! I'm hoping we can follow up with Part 3. Looking forward to your next Twilight Zone video. Have a good one!

Wiping out wipe out, wiping out, woah woah woah...
I'm up for Part 3 if Steve is.
He had to phone Ya
He was busy for awhile but I got through and it made me smile.
@@betamaxblocker Maybe sharpen up a pencil and write a letter to your friend
Weirdest thing about 15 Big Ones and Love You is that everyone sounds drunk on both albums. They even look drunk on the cover/back covers.
Too real
The group has never looked more uncomfortable in a photo shoot than on the 15 Big Ones album cover in my eyes. They look absolutely miserable!

They didn't name Tallahassee Lassie on the album, or it would be 16 Big Ones.

TM Song was an oddball.😮
