    "Sloop John B" is a traditional West Indies tune about a sunken boat. It was adapted in 1951 by Lee Hays of the Weavers (as "The John B Sails") and revived in 1960 by Lonnie Donegan. The Beach Boys' folk music buff, Al Jardine, turned Brian Wilson onto the Kingston Trio's recording of the song. For their updated version, Wilson added elaborate vocals and a 12-string guitar part. He also changed some of the lyrics, including "This is the worst trip since I've been born" to "...I've ever been on" as a wink to acid culture.
    The song was popularized by The Kingston Trio, who adapted it from a version in poet Carl Sandburg's 1927 songbook The American Songbag. The Kingston Trio's version stays true to the song's Calypso roots, and was released on their first album in 1958. Eight years later, The Beach Boys changed the title to "Sloop John B," and came away with a hit. Their debt to The Kingston Trio goes far beyond this song: The Beach Boys adopted the group's striped, short-sleeved shirts and wholesome persona as well. >>
    This was the biggest hit from The Beach Boys landmark album Pet Sounds.

      and lead vocals.

      instrumentation. IMO the penultimate Surf Song.

    Back when I was in college, I was taking a Music Therapy class, because my best friend was a Music Therapy major and talked the department head into letting me into the class. My final was that I was given an hour to analyse this song and apply it to a music therapy setting. It didn't go well. This song, as recorded by the Beach Boys, is a master class in song development, every verse and every chorus adds complexity to the recording. My brain was so bent that I never really figured out how to use the song in a therapy environment - to be fair, they told me what the population of the classroom was when I entered the classroom itself, and the population was gifted children, simulated by several professors.

    This song was included on the Pet Sounds album, and there's a story there. The Beatles had released the Sgt.

    A sloop is a one-masted sailboat, so clearly he's a sailor, like Brad said. He went down to Nassau, which is in the Bahamas, and he ran afoul of all kinds of mischief: he got drunk, got in a fight, got interrogated by the sherriff, got sick, had his grits tossed out and his corn stolen by the cook. Now he's ready for the voyage to be done with, and he just wants to go home.

    It's originally an old-time "sea shanty" about being a crew member on a 19th-century sloop, a sailing ship. The one phrase Brian Wilson has wrong is "... he ate up all of my corn." That doesn’t make any sense. It was " ... he drank up all of my corn", meaning he drank all my corn liquor (whisky). Still ... a great song with incredible vocal harmonies.

    This song has always reminded me of a bad acid trip. Like Brian at a piano just singing “I feel so broke up I wanna go home” while he is hitting one key waiting for the party to end. I don’t know could all be in my head.

    Their “Sail On Sailor” is a freakin awesome tune . They have many great non beach tunes in their vast catalog

      But all of their music related to the early California vibe, Jimmy Buffett and Ray Charles both do great versions of Sail on Sailor. It is an amazing song.

    the amazing thing about the beachboys is they only had 4 number 1 records, and it took 27 years to get that many. Even wings have more No1s .

    A Sloop is a sailboat and the drummer , Dennis Wison, had one. Tragically, he died by drowning where his former sailboat "Harmony" use to be docked. I believe it was Newport Beach Marina. R.I. Harmonic P. Dennis. LIsten to his Pacific Ocean Blue album. Review it here, Please! You will love it. Peace.

    Thankyou Randy. I interpreted it as a Sloop being a sail boat. John B is the name and the lyrics being from a sailor wanting to return home for some unmentioned reason.

    Owned/rented big sea rig. Grits is bread n butter price (gruel is cruel) and the song shares his lesson well-learned, price of a fool's turn. It's beach boys sea song known by many wealthy wannabe's of 1960's - 70's.

    My parents were drinkers, owned a bar... and had 4 daughters. Occasionally they would close the bar and end the night at our house.. this song was a must for the girls wake up and sing along.. I still love this song but I have torn memories

    The chorus is often sung at football (soccer) matches.
    "This is the *best/worst* trip I've ever been on," depending on if your team is winning or losing. 😆

    The Beach Boys personified the California mystique of sun, fun, surfing, babes, endless summer, etc. The early "beachy" stuff was their vehicle but Brian Wilson was a pop music innovator, always pushing the envelope, so why not a West Indies folk tune? Their harmonies on this song are gorgeous. Wilson later got pulled into some very dark stuff but that's another story. Incidentally if you want great harmonies you might want to check out the Cowsills from the late 60's. They were a squeaky clean and wholesome family band, and they were the template for the before-your-time sitcom The Partridge Family. They even had their mom in the band. For a rock group that takes chutzpah. Back in the day I and my peers dismissed them as 'bubblegum" but I recently re-discovered them and I was shocked at their level of talent. Shocked I tell you, and this is from a jaded ex-hippie. So be the first and only reactors to investigate the 'Sills. I suggest their Cowsills Medley form the Ed Sullivan show in '67 or their Big Hit "Hair", a mild parody of the hippie culture. You weren't supposed to do that, we took ourselves very seriously. There is so much timeless music from that period that you haven't checked out because you don't know about it. Alas, we don't know what we don't know

    If you like the round-like part of this song you would probably like their song, "Heroes And Villians". It has some really cool interplay between the voices.

    Way back in the days of sailing ships captains would have people kidnapped to provide labor on their sailing ships. They were kept as virtual slaves, not paid, and some, when they pulled into port were tied up and hidden away below deck so they could not go ashore and escape.

    Another variant of Homer's tale, but with a reference to being off drugs as going home. IMHO.

    • @biff9999
      @biff9999 Год назад

      At the time, many people interpreted the song that way - "This is the worst trip I've ever been on". When you're taking LSD (and other things), you reach a point where you don't want to be high any more, you just want to come down. And go home.
