Maaan, I've just listened to it and that's the corniest and stupidest thing I ever heard in my life!😂. I thought Summer In Paradise is the worst piece of work Mike Love ever did in his life, but this shit just beats it. Mike Love is the most unhip guy in the world.
@@toastertwo1602I went to go see him live around the holidays and when that song came on, it was my first time listening and it was second hand embarrassment 😂

if you are any kind of musician you will know how normal this is. You'll get hooked on something that is fun to play and you'll play it all the time appropriate or not.
I have found that putting this video on near the end of a party will invigorate the setting and make the guests start dancing or socializing in a manner that is new and interesting. Regardless of age, occasion, or alcohol/drug intake. Please give it a try and leave a comment with your description of what happened.
It's that fuzzing dirty base line... ... that jump up rhythm... ... those piano interjections... ... and as always the beach boys' genius use of their harmonious voices as an extra part of the band... funky as fuck❤
The problem is you are assuming anybody at my home for a party hasn't already been subjected to hours of interrogation about Shortenin' Bread by the Beach Boys. I think I triggered PTSD for multiple guests by playing this.
Tried it. I lost an arm and my wife is still in therapy. My guests seemed charmed though. Oh - but my goldfish took his own life. I'd call it a qualified success.
U ever hear the story where Brian was doing coke all night with a guy playing this on piano. The dude got tired and left Brian at the piano still playing shortnin bread. When he woke up the next day, Brian was still making shortnin bread. 😟
@@bjenny McGuinn tells the story in "Echo in the Canyon"; Brian wanted some speed, Roger gave him a couple Biphetamine 20s, and away he went (and Ding Dang was born)...

There's a story gioing around that back in the early 80s a friend drove Alice Cooper to Brian's hpuse so he could meet him. During the evening Brian had Alice and friend singing 'Shortenin' Bread' over and over as Brian played it on the piano. Alice later said the Brian was quite 'scarey'!
God only knows what I'd be without shortenin' bread I'm picking up shortenin' bread Wouldn't it be nice if we were shortenin' bread Hanging down from my window, this is my shortenin' bread Well, east coast girls are shortenin' bread Don't worry baby, everything will turn out shortenin' bread I'm waiting for the day when you can love shortenin' bread These things I'll be until shortenin' bread Shortenin' bread, that's what you need tonight
she’s not the shortenin’ bread I once knew, you still believe in shortenin’ bread, add some shortenin’ bread to your day, this whole shortenin’ bread, when a man needs a shortenin bread, let’s go away for a shortenin’ bread
My conspiracy theory is that Brian Wilson's secret agenda of the Beach Boys was to get Shortnin' Bread stuck in everyone on earth's head. He's probably so disappointed that most people would rather hear Good Vibrations instead
I know, Paul McCartney said “God Only Knows” is the best and most masterful pop song ever written and Brian has to respectfully disagree. Ill give you just one guess why
Thanks for this!! Certain aspects of a Catholic funeral hymn reminded me of the Shortnin' Bread riff, and I had Light Album back in high school in the early 80's. That brought me here. I never knew of Brian's fanaticism for this song until today!! 😀
@@EloraBB fr like the time when jiggy immediately removed his production credit from looking back with love and when i told him he had one he was like "uhhh no it was jim studer doe" and i had to fucking get a screencap to convince him otherwise like smh my head
I'll just be sitting around and the melody works its way into my head and I just go "GOD DAMN IT BRIAN WILSON!" Cause then it's stuck in my head for the next hour lol.
Morning Beat is a good call, it’s got some Shortenin’ Bread DNA but is also in large part a rewrite of Walkin’, a song Brian wrote with Al around the Sunflower sessions but never finished to his satisfaction. There is a version with half a vocal on the Feel Flows box set. Brian sings a verse and a bit then says “I don’t want to sing this!” And takes his cans off!
you forgot the Clangin' outtake which is an alternate version of Ding Dang dating from 1975 i think. its from a bootleg called THE BEACH BOYS - Brother Rarities (1969-1976) by captain acid
clangin' wasn't in common circulation in 2018 when i made this youtube video. those who had it were certainly not sharing it freely and it did not get leaked outside of more closed beach boys trading circles until recently!
Is there any chance we can get a separate upload with clanggin'? I saw you saying it wasn't available when you made it when you originally uploaded, so i think an updated version of the video would be warranted.

the funniest shit ever lmao

You're doing the lord's work, Elora!
I loved your Love You video! Huge Beach Boys fan so I was ecstatic when I found out you uploaded that video! Keep up the great work!
Your Love You video introduced me to this song, you better unintroduce me to it because I can't get it out of my head now, Elliot

scariest if you're iggy pop

@@GarrettAtterberry Agree! It just seems like an ultimate party song.
Man, they're just going nuts by the end. Super infectious

I had heard that story with Alice and Iggy Pop. The punchline was they left because it was just too weird.
@@John-pm1hk If you can scare off Alice Cooper and Iggy Pop at the same time, your shit is seriously cray.
You forgot the part where Brian assigned parts to different house guests and forced them to do it for hours lol
This is one of my favourite videos on the internet. I listen to it almost daily.
It's the greatest song ever written.
Yeah, beats the hell outta "God Only Knows" or "Let It Be" or "Imagine."

I’ve got to know what hymn you’re talking about.
Same, what's the hymn?
Good work...
So much style from Brian and the Boys.
I have to commend you on your annotations here. Thanks for compiling this - a treasure trove for BB fans.
This is a hell of a thing...thanks for this. Pretty cool for sure
Trying to get to my happy place here. THSNK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK…instant joy :))

Great channel. Always love discovering “new” Brian rare ones. Thanks for you work.
Thank you for making this piece of art!
it's quite late at night and this must be the most amused i've ever been in my life
there's one version of shortenin' bread missing, and that's the Curt Boettcher Disco remix. That's available on youtube on another video tho
yeah i realised i forgot the disco mix like immediately after i rendered everything lol

this vid also misses Clangin and the Cocaine Sessions and and you could consider that one section of marcella to be the earliest in some ways
listen to the intro to brians rendition of "you've got a friend in me" for even more shortenin bread
The '79 live version fucking rips. Great stuff
i watched the Reason for the Season lyrics video and apparently the reason is Bitmoji Mike Love
I like the Wiggles version of Shortin' Bread. I am sure Brian is a big fan.
The Wiggles also covered Brian's song, "Little Children". It would've been cool if he made an appearance on one of their videos
AHAHAA I LOVE that this exists, nice work
This is so awesome. Thank you!
Can you blame him for being obsessed? It's a great song.
Should've added the end part of the song Airplane, another clear homage
Thank you for this compilation.

Genius knows no bounds.
Me, listening to Mike Love’s Christmas Shortnin’ Bread/Reason for the Season 5 days before Christmas: THAT’S BRIAN’S SONG, YOU HACK.
I guess Brian wasn't kidding when he said this was one of his favorite Beach Boys songs.
Someone should send this to Iggy.
Groovy!

Shortenin’ Bread
If ya cut the shortnin bread horizontal instead of vertical
The live version kicks absolute ass
When & where was the version @ 0:00 recorded ? it sounds like a demo
Not sure, but since adult/child never came out a lot of the songs on that are bootleg quality
LOL, all his hats?
7:37 where did you find this? Is there more audio of this?
I love how Brian's hotel tapes show the difference between Shortnin and Ding Dang, even though they're similar at their core.
thank you
Brians smile betrayal payback
At the end Mike got infected too, lol
