none of the other beach boys are able to play instruments, mike is actually puppeteering them with his hands and feet through a complex network of fishing line
Even in his twenties he moved liked your grandpa at a wedding dance. I will give this to him, he made a long successful career riding on his cousins coat-tails.
Chris Eisenhower Please, his 'co-writing' credits are laughably minimal, including one or two line changes. As for the songs he wrote, what can you cite that compares to anything that Brian wrote? Kokomo? He's a joke.
Vreenakthesenator Mike Love's solo album with some of the worst songs ever written is very clear proof that he had nothing to do with the genius Brian's songs. Mike bullied his way into getting half credit for songs when he only contributed a cliche line or two.
he wrote it with john p from m and p and mike love would do a grandpa impression for the gang before they were a band.. its meant to be a joke! also john performed it on howard stern before it was released and they thought it was weird and it was in a good way haha yes!!!! oh yah he see him moon walk in place here pretty cool and ahead of its time for white guy pffffff people lol have a great day!!!!!
Wow! This video contains some amazing footage! Specifically, the video of Mike squatting and doing the rapid hand moves. It reminds me of my dear departed cat, Baryshnikov, when he would pull toilet paper off the roll. Mike was way ahead of his time.
@@seleykosanikatwr9272 If you think my comment is mean, you're *really* not going to like the Entire Comment Section under this video. Or a good portion of Every Comment Section of videos containing Mike Love. You should just skip them. The man's a notorious pariah, and with ample, documented reason.
Mike Love inventor of the twerk. They wanted to name it "the jerk", but that didn't make any sense, with Mike being the complete opposite of a jerk. 😉 😜.
Those Wilson brothers should count themselves very lucky that they were the cousins of the legendary Mike Love. I love Mike Love with all my love nearly as much as Mike Love loves Mike Love. The love Mike Love has for Mike Love is a loving love that is unmatchable.
A story I heard, and I hope it's true, is that when the Beach Boys visited Britain, everyone did their thing, saw the sights etc. Mike Love however would troll the streets of London at night, trying to impress chicks and take them back to his room and was soundly rejected. Maybe he tried to dance for them.
@@angelicaquirarteno talent, giant ego, treated his cousins (who WERE talented and the cornerstones of the band terribly....there are so many reasons to not like Mike Love
Ok, I don’t know how to look this up. What’s the name of the dance he does where he squats and sort of egg-beaters his arms while shaking his head up and down? I feel like he can’t have made it up and maybe it’s like a surf rock thing? Please help!
Y'all remember that scene from the Booze Cruise episode of the Office when Michael takes over the dance floor? Every time I see Mike Love dancing, I remember that scene. 😂
Since you asked for my take...The Wilson brothers were collectively traumatized from an abusive father and lacked assertiveness skills. Mike Love is arguably one of the greatest beneficiaries of group PTSD in popular culture. That's not necessarily to take a swipe at him. Just a average dude in the right place at the right time. Life is such a strange thing. Love happened to pull a straw larger than his native talent. No great catastrophe. Mao Tse Tung murdered 70 million people. Mike Love didn't even murder songs. He sort of passed through them inconspicuously.
BS. Literally can't tell the difference between deliberate murder and deaths caused by negligence. If you think that China never had any famines prior to the Communists you're deluding yourself.
Full Spectrum Domino that’s true, and he also did play a part in the early beach boys sound so he deserves credit for that, but he also asked for much more credit than he did deserve, and sued Brian unreasonably, and is always trying to bring attention to himself which makes him very easy to dislike
Someone told him to “dance to the words you’re singing”, but he thought they said “dance the words you’re singing”. 😂😂🤣🤣🤣 I’ve never seen anyone do the chariot race or the drive like an ace.😂😂😂😂Damn! I stopped the video to write before I saw him do the wild goose chase🤣🤣🤣🤣
They stood so they didn't have any eye contact or interaction with him. It's fascinating to watch. A normal person would pick that up pretty quickly. Not Mike. He's not normal and could be why they didn't fire him.
Great sense of moving. Sex symbol of the band. Can you believe this guy never learnt how to dance ??? I love his art of doing windmills with his hands. Very convincing during barbecue parties. And Mike can hold a saxophone without playing one note on stage ! Yes he can !
If Mike Love fell off the side of the stage and Al and Carl took over all the lead vocals nobody would have noticed or cared. Ironic that he is now the "owner" of the Beach Boys.
Whenever I feel bad about myself I watch Mike Love dance and realize I have nothing in my back pages nearly as embarrassing as this. They're all really cool except for Mike, who's trying SO HARD to be cool. You gotta be born with it Mike. Hint: don’t act out the words.
@superego8405 I don't understand why they give him maracas or a tambourine in those early TV appearances. He doesn't even look like he's part of the band when he's not singing lead vocal- he literally has nothing to do
in my early 70s now and was the age to be a huge beach boys fan - but i wasnt due to the creepy mike love. i have always loved their beautiful singing and still sing along in the car but mike love made me and still makes me cringe. ladies, can you imagine a date at a high school dance with those moves?? shiver
0:55 ,1:07 whats that move the "Creepy Mike" it would have been funny if he was wacked by Brian's bass head stock... I doubt that he had any important input to writing any of the BB songs ,those epileptic moves are his speed, ohh he's good at suing , his speech at the Rock and roll hall of fame-need I say anymore
When I think of 60s dance moves, I think of Mike Love. Maybe he's a jerk, but the Beach Boys and the 60s music scene wouldn't have been the same without him. Let's just enjoy the music.
Despite the lawsuits etc etc there wouldn't still be the Beach Boys without Mike Love. The others all had great talent but none of them had the chutzpah (sp?) to be front men. Dennis might have done without booze, girls and whatever else he indulged in. But Mike has it, and he's still there.

An example of Mike Love 'co writing' Beach Boys material is adding "good night, baby, sleep tight baby" to the outro of Wouldn't it be Nice.

When the girls scream when Dennis shakes his hair playing drums, theres not a doubt in my mind Mike thinks its because of his dancing.😂😂
Carl played guitar. Dennis played drums. True what u say
Little did he know the girls were screaming in terror
Oh 100% he thought it was for him. The girls only screamed for Dennis because he was hot. Mike has always looked middle aged. 😂
He's one of our greatest physical comedians.
Ded
Recently went to a concert, he's quite the actual comedian too
Mike Love’s dance moves are illegal in 19 States and also in parts of Korea and the entire UAE.
The sad thing is that I can't dance that good.
A flogging offence in syria.
How are they illegeal
His dance moves are now fully copyrighted ...if you do them you have to pay him royalties or face a fine or prison or both.
Please never attempt those moves in the DMZ.
if i have a bad day and feel that I am useless I watch this video
Althea Quijano literally my reason for looking this video up rn
Mike has vastly more talent then you could ever dream of, bitch.
Lmao
Hahahhaha you won the internet today
@@fshoaps what are you? Some mike love loser fan or something?
You have to admit though. Nobody can dance like Mike Love.
doubt anyone wants to
And that’s a good thing!
Elaine from Seinfeld came close.
this is me up in the club
Sophie Brunner you’re probably better
I love how the rest of the boys completely ignore his awkward stage presence. He has absolutely no idea how uncool he looks.
He does, but just doesn't care.
4:37 genius how he works in his wing move with the wild goose chase line.
Wow! This video contains some amazing footage! Specifically, the video of Mike squatting and doing the rapid hand moves. It reminds me of my dear departed cat, Baryshnikov, when he would pull toilet paper off the roll. Mike was way ahead of his time.
You had a cool cat😅😅😅😅RIP Mikhail.
This is perhaps the greatest video I have had the pleasure of viewing. He should have had a career in Ballet!
Harrison Hedges or in disco
3:23 Mike Love inventing the Moonwalk.
Yeah I think that and some other dance moves look fine but majority of them are horrible
His dance moves are so good! Kpop idols could NEVER! 😩
Whenever I'm down & need a good laugh, this is what I watch.
Is it wrong that when I feel a little down, I like to seek out videos where people are trashing Mike Love?
Absolutely.Find something better to fix your mood to.Thats just mean

pretty weird
Mike Love is the definition of uncool
Clearly establishes who the real genius behind the Beach Boys was...
He still was the lead singer
He was the lead singer...sometimes. Brian sang lead on a lot of early BB songs too. Mike couldn't hit the notes Brian could.
Mike Love was my favorite when I was little. He was so much fun! Something about him appeals to kuds! He's so funny!
Kids' minds are as yet undeveloped, which explains why Mike Love appeals to them.

And is a better dancer.

If anyone hasn't watched Mike Love's speech when the BB were inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1988, watch the clip. There are no words...
The moves Mike did at 6:20 we’re actually kinda good
Well, even a broken watch hits the time twice a day.....
That’s how I move when I gotta take a “movement” but nothing is happening
The crouch dancing/air drumming is hilarious. 😂

Kkkk
Kkkkkkkkkkkkk
I bet the awkward dancing was a big reason why this man looked like he was 45 years old while in his 20s.
He's looked 48 his entire life. Even after he turned 48. Just permanently stuck at that age for some reason.
45 is extremely kind. First number should be a 5.
This is hilarious!
He just vibin doe 😳
I'm bookmarking this right now.
Someone told him to “dance to the words you’re singing”, but he thought they said “dance the words you’re singing”. 😂😂🤣🤣🤣 I’ve never seen anyone do the chariot race or the drive like an ace.😂😂😂😂Damn! I stopped the video to write before I saw him do the wild goose chase🤣🤣🤣🤣
Somebody should have just given him a tambourine or cow bell so that he didn't have to spend so much time dancing...
half the time he looks like a skeleton being puppeteered, and the other half looks like he's been possessed by the exorcist.
He was very good in the "Monster Mash" song. That suited him down to a tee.
A free spirit who's not afraid to do his own thing. I admire that.
Totally agree. I don't think he was trying to look cool....I think he just enjoys moving to the music and being himself. Best way to be.
Mike Love doin the 60s griddy
Mike Love dancing is my spirit animal
6:21 Carl was having a good day until he saw Mike twerking.
They stood so they didn't have any eye contact or interaction with him. It's fascinating to watch.
A normal person would pick that up pretty quickly. Not Mike. He's not normal and could be why they didn't fire him.
this was absolutely fantastic. may god bless the internet.
every band needs a kind of love!
Whoever edited and posted it is awesome 👌

But what style is it ? its like some mad version of the mash potato mixed with a new zeland football dance.

6:20 only part of this video where i can give him credit, and he ruins it not a second after
Great!
He is the consummate uncool dad trying to be a “hep cat” in front of his kid’s friends.. That seems to be the role he was born to play.
I think he’s doing the mating dance of the praying mantis
6:19 mr boogaloo michael right there boy

if almost everyone says Mike's dancing stinks, I tend to start liking it. Go Mike, go....
Even The Wilson Brothers could make Mike Love Cool The Uncoolest Person Ever
I just like from 1:07 to 1:12 at first it look like he was getting into it but then stop because he realizes how stupid he actually looked
He stopped cuz he need to sing, lol
He popularized the "Broomstick up the cornhole" dance in his earliest days.
1 Person didn't have Fun Fun Fun

*Goes in search of whatever video **2:19** is from*
Do you know how cool he must be in Bizarro World?
Mike Love is the best dancer 🤗
I think he did the Humpty Dance in there a few times.
His dancing is cute ngl
Is this footage from USO show at Kurtz’s temple?
😂
He dances like he has a herniated disc in his back
6:23 the original twerk
Sometimes I have impostor syndrome at work and I’m worried I’ll get fired. Then I watch this video and I know everything will be alright
3:22 Mike Love invented moon walk :P
3:30 clearly Mike Love was moonwalking in the sixties! He's an important part of the Beach Boys - screw the haters!
Mike's done a lot of bad and good and bad with good intentions,but his dancing is hellish.
When I think of 60s dance moves, I think of Mike Love. Maybe he's a jerk, but the Beach Boys and the 60s music scene wouldn't have been the same without him. Let's just enjoy the music.

The band didn't need a front man, but I guess they were being nice to him due to family ties
@@WillieDuitt1I think they did.
Mike was the MC who would get the crowd going and you need someone like that, esp the Beach Boys.
