Man o man the "Beach Boys" are Fricken bad man...they are the "BEST"...I can listen to their "BADASS" fricken music OVER n OVER especially "Sloop John B..its the BOMB.. I JUST LOVE IT...HEEHAAAAAAAA
People nowadays usually miss the point of a music video, but I usually don't enjoy music videos at all. I like to visualize it on my own and think about how the music makes me feel and what I picture when I hear it, but this video is a great little slice of the Beach Boys.
If I remember right, they got told this song was gonna be on Top of the Pops, or whatever that old UK show was called, and they needed a video for this song. So they just spent a lazy afternoon screwing around in Brian's backyard and this was the result.
One of the early videos I saw on MTV was "Life of Illusion" by Joe Walsh, which was just him and a camera crew goofing around in a junkyard. It's fun to watch, sort of like Little Rascals shorts. Sophistication gets tiring after you've seen it a few thousand times.
I can remember as a kid I was about 12 or 13 and I took some music course in school. This is the one of only two songs I remember the teach playing over and over. This and Winchester Cathedral. It was like 78 or 79 and I simply loved both songs big time. I had no idea who the artist’s were but I remember getting my allowance and having my pops help me find them. Being a DJ in the 60’s and early 70’s he had no problem finding them. I still love both too this day.
Without getting into details, my father was a great guy who had a rough time in life. He was a huge music fan, especially of The Beach Boys. We played this song at his funeral as we took him to the cemetery. He wanted to go home, and I know he's in a better place now.
that made me cry. I was with my dad in the hospital when he told the Dr. he wanted to go. I helped him get into the hospice and a 2 days later he passed.
I was at a Boy Scout camp with my friends this past week. We all enjoy singing, and we all hated the food and the bugs there, so I thought it'd be fun for us all to sing this. I taught everyone the harmonies and whatnot. A week passes, and on the last night (barbeque night) the camped played this song. Well don't you know it, my five guys stood up on the benches and belted it out. It was awesome!
In my opinion, the bestest of the best of the Beach Boys songs!!! I heard it first at the time, and all these years later it filters through my mental playlist and still brings such pleasure.
Last year, my dad and i went to a Beach Boys 50 Reunion Concert. Afterwords, my dad and i went to a nearby hotel to stay for the night. BRUCE AND AL WERE STANDING RIGHT THERE! They sat down and we talked for a 30 minutes. I asked a question about the Sloop John B promo. Bruce and Al said, "Oh! I remember that!'' May of 1966 that this was filmed. Apparently they said that DENNIS FILMED THIS! He had also filmed Little Honda with Carl on his Bike. They are the greatest guys you will ever meet! THKS
@Alrimate I was meaning to be patriotic. But I did read somewhere that he wanted to make American rock and roll its own Force among the British Invasion. I get around, and she loves you yeah yeah yeah were not the deepest songs. The competition probably made music better.
My Dad was a Vietnam Vet and the best Dad I could have ever asked for. He died of Lung Cancer last week. This was "Our Song". I love you Papa and I can't believe you're gone.I don't know if I will ever get over you passing.Ive been a shitty son the past few years and I should have went out and seen you more. I'll miss you till they put coins on my eyes and send me to the boatman. Hope to see you on the other side.
Some very Monkees-like goofiness. Love it. Brian taught the other members of the band how to harmonize. And harmonize they did! They were great. This song is a gem.
The guy in the shirt and tie is Derek Taylor, former press officer for The Beatles - He's the one who coined the term "Brian Wilson Is A Genius" during promo time for Pet Sounds.
Thank you! I asked outloud who the skinny voyeur was, but no one in the room knew!... Of course the cats don't say much, and I didn't really expect my 9 year old to know.... 🤪
So glad to read this! I thought that was Derek Taylor but wasn’t sure so I scrolled all the way down to here looking for someone to mention it. Good work, beach gal.
We come on the sloop John B My grandfather and me Around Nassau town we did roam Drinking all night Got into a fight Well I feel so broke up I want to go home So hoist up the John B's sail See how the mainsail sets Call for the Captain ashore Let me go home, let me go home I wanna go home, yeah yeah Well I feel so broke up I wanna go home The first mate he got drunk And broke in the Cap'n's trunk The constable had to come and take him away Sheriff John Stone Why don't you leave me alone, yeah yeah Well I feel so broke up I wanna go home So hoist up the John B's sail See how the mainsail sets Call for the Captain ashore Let me go home, let me go home I wanna go home, let me go home Why don't you let me go home (Hoist up the John B's sail) Hoist up the John B I feel so broke up I wanna go home Let me go home The poor cook he caught the fits And threw away all my grits And then he took and he ate up all of my corn Let me go home Why don't they let me go home This is the worst trip I've ever been on So hoist up the John B's sail See how the mainsail sets Call for the Captain ashore Let me go home, let me go home I wanna go home, let me go home Why don't you let me go home
This song will always hold a special place in my heart. I just lost someone very special to me, and this song cheered me up. It allowed me to cry not with sorrow, but acceptance, motivation, and thankfulness for all he did for me in the year or so I knew him. He had a heart of gold and always looked at the positives. I miss him so much, but I know he's in a better place.
Please accept my condolences for you lost your beloved one. I lost my husband in 2022 in my birth day month too . If I died I will tell my children to play * Sloop John B* for my Funeral day as my memory from my husband.
This song has an amazing bass part. It's not an exaggeration to say that Carol Kaye's bass on SLOOP JOHN B helped revolutionize electric bass playing in rock/pop music...
I'm going to have to disagree. Paul McCartney was moving bass way beyond this at the same period of time. Listen to Rain by the Beatles, Paperback Writer. As good as this is, the Beatles really were breaking ground by the mile compared to everyone else around at the time.
PFB1994 Both those Beatle songs you mentioned came after Pet Sounds. I will agree with you that McCartney was probably the most influential in bringing electric bass to the forefront. And I also agree that he came up with incredibly melodic lines. But what's great about Carol Kaye's bass on this & other songs on Pet Sounds (and I don't know if Kay came up with the bass lines or Brian Wilson) is that she wasn't just playing passing notes on her way to a root or a fifth. The bass parts were very melodic & very orchestral. And I also know that these bass parts are what inspired McCartney to think of bass playing in a different way. So it's probably more accurate to say that Carol Kaye influenced McCartney, McCartney influenced the rest of the world.
This song reminds me of my time in the Coast Guard. I was 20 years old stationed on the USCG Cutter Unimak. We took it from Yorktown Virginia to Nassau Bahamas where we spent 3 days.
That was the first song that was playing when I went to the hospital to have our first born son. The nurses brought me their radio and turned it on. The Sloop John B was just starting to play. I could not help smiling even though the back labor was agony.
Buried my ole man last oct, he was a football manager, if i wanted to see him on a weekend i went to footy lol. Weve lost one of the players now and all i can think about is this song, everytime we were back at club house or played away we had a sing song..... this was top of list 😢❤
This song was originally a traditional West Indies folk song called "The John B. Sails" taken from a collection by Carl Sandburg (1927) this version was ranked #271 on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
***** If this isn't the song, if you type in a couple of the lyrics, I will check back in a day or so and see if I know the song. I own several of their albums and love their sound.
God I keep coming back to this song. It hurts for some reason, it's a beautiful, emotional and somewhat sad song, but it reminds me of so much. Brilliant song. And the first time I saw the music video, where they switched it was a good effect.
Es war 1966: ich war fast 13 jahre alt und durfte schon unser Tonbandgerät nutzen und Songs aufnehmen, Simon & Garfunkel, die Beatles, die Rolling Stones, Kinks, Hollies etc.und natürlich auch die Beach Boys! Meine Mutter Liselotte hörte im Allgemeinen nur Klassische Musik, Kirchenlieder sowie deutsche Volkslieder, aber wenn sie in mein Zimmer kam und dieser Song lief, pflegte sie zu sagen: "Mensch Junge, so ein schöner Song und die Stimmen der Jungs harmonieren so gut - der gefällt mir wirklich sehr, sehr gut". Übrigens war sie auch noch von "Help me Rhonda" begeistert. Es waren eigentlich nur diese beiden Songs, die sie liebte - andere Beat - Songs interessierten sie kaum oder gar nicht. Gruß Roland aus Deutschland!
@@typicalfurry2747 I don't like him, either. He's such a narcissist. But, as one person commented earlier he looked good in this video, and I like looking at him. But I need to remember that beauty is more than skin deep!
Sung this a thousand times! A great favourite in Rugby Clubs, especially since the 1971 Lions Series win in New Zealand! Great harmonies. Love the Beach Boys!
This song will always make me think of summers on the deck with my dad. I can just picture him singing along to "then he took and he ate up all of my corn." He's still around but there are not as much beach boy summers anymore.
Carl Wilson makes this video for me. Shy and self-conscious, he was usually in the background but here he is upfront and obviously loving it. Way to go!
Totally awesome song - my dad had the 20 Golden Greats album when I was a kid and this was my favourite song - still gives me goosebumps 2day - the part where they sing "de-de-deh, de-de-deh" (1:00) makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!! :-)
my all time number one song of all time. there is nothing like blasting this every time i hear it.it's the best. i still love brian. forever and always. he is still the best.
It may be confusing for some to hear Pet Sounds is considered to be one of the if not the greatest album of all time but considering this sounds more unique than like most of popular music of the mid 60s is would go on to influence artists. Brian Wilson’s a Bloody Genius, God Bless that man’s soul
Im 44 grew up with my parents loving these guys!!! I love them too, I love the harmonys and just everything they have put out. Amazing group!!!! Love your music, my 3 year old granddaughter does too. Thank you Beach Boys!!
i used to have a dementia client, John, who worked in the British merchant’s navy in communications. He was called sparks as a nickname and traveled the world in the late 1940s by ship delivering and collecting cargo from China and Japan post WW2, I played this song over and over every time I visited his home and we’d dance in the kitchen🤣🤣 rest in peace, Sparks!
I'm 71 and love hearing these golden oldies

73 and still love listening to the oldies when music was amazing.

@@cristinaacosta7946I love this passion
Even here in blighty we love them just as much now as we did back then.
basically 3 minutes of beach boys fucking around in a pool
still more interesting than like every average music video
People nowadays usually miss the point of a music video, but I usually don't enjoy music videos at all. I like to visualize it on my own and think about how the music makes me feel and what I picture when I hear it, but this video is a great little slice of the Beach Boys.

So they just spent a lazy afternoon screwing around in Brian's backyard and this was the result.
mallrat 777 Think the same video was used on Top of the Pops to promote Good Vibrations as well, albeit edited! 60's music videos are hilarious.
every thing is not black and wihte
One of the early videos I saw on MTV was "Life of Illusion" by Joe Walsh, which was just him and a camera crew goofing around in a junkyard. It's fun to watch, sort of like Little Rascals shorts. Sophistication gets tiring after you've seen it a few thousand times.
This song always makes me feel sad about times that aren't coming back.
You never know, mid century modern furniture is popular - one day this kind of music may come back.
me too
Got to think how lucky we were to hear it...the glass is half full too don't forget 🙂
You have to make good times, you make the difference.

I love these.guys! They were like the original NSYNC!❤
Oh, jeez. Please don't compare the BB brilliance to that vile canuck.
Never heard of Elvis or the Beatles?
I just spent 3 minutes watching the Beach Boys play around with hats and blow up boats and I loved it.
*2:53
there's two kind of people...
I read your comment at the start of the video. I kept waiting for them to blow up some boats... and then I re-read your comment.
MichaelsShortFilms
Brian Dennison, lol! There's a difference between blow up and blow-up.
Forever perfect harmony Beach Boys❤

I’m 74 and I still love the beach boys
Without getting into details, my father was a great guy who had a rough time in life. He was a huge music fan, especially of The Beach Boys. We played this song at his funeral as we took him to the cemetery. He wanted to go home, and I know he's in a better place now.
man....
My condolences for your loss. God be with you.
Bro... I really feel that
that made me cry. I was with my dad in the hospital when he told the Dr. he wanted to go. I helped him get into the hospice and a 2 days later he passed.
That’s a really sweet story, thank you very much for sharing. My deepest sympathies for your loss.
I love the harmonies of The Beach Boys. There’s no sound like it. Brian Wilson you’re a genius.
Yea, wasn't Kokomo their last big hit?
Unparalleled, then or now.
More of a John Phillips hit. Brian was busy being held captive.
This is one of my favourite beach boys song, I was born in the late 80's and grateful to have been brought up with such classics
Bee gees had better sound especially robin gibb
How could anyone hate this?
It's perfect.
Everything they do is perfection, music wise..
You obviously haven't heard the MIU album
subg88 Could be worse, could be the album we don’t name.
People who were hammered down by the boom while setting the mainsail, I guess.........
The irony is that Brian despised The Kingston Trio but was talked into listening to their version of this song.
Then he perfected it.
I was at a Boy Scout camp with my friends this past week. We all enjoy singing, and we all hated the food and the bugs there, so I thought it'd be fun for us all to sing this. I taught everyone the harmonies and whatnot. A week passes, and on the last night (barbeque night) the camped played this song.

Still watch this vid?
This is the worst trip I've ever been on, haha 🤣
Dude, really? That’s fucking awesome! Way cooler than my Scout camp experience
Seems fitting. The first time I heard any version of this song was on an episode of Lost in Space.

No doubt
I agree, their best song
God only knows, good vibrations and this song are the best of the best. This song in particular ALWAYS elicits tears for me…
I agree, the one I like the most.
Thank you Outer Banks for reminding us of this master piece!
Also here for this reason 😂
I thought the same thing!! Great classic song ❤and great show !😊
Lol this is the only reason I shearched this song
I just had a listen to Pet Sounds after several years. Man, what a piece of work. Just beautiful. It is a near perfect example of the artform.
❤
your comment is near perfect except for the word "near"
The Beatles were trying to come up something new/revolutionary, and when they heard Pet Sound, they said "$#%@, they beat us to it. "

Mille merci pour TOUTES vos magnifiques chansons.
In the darkest times this video will make you smile
This song has always made me feel happy no matter what
You got that right (currently in the middle of a pandemic) haha
Profetic
Yup i got evicted during the pandemic , and The Beach Boys help me alot
Its true .I n my darkerst times I ve played it for 12 hours on a plane.It calm me down and help to give me perspective in life

I can tell why Pet Sounds is so well regarded. Brilliant vocal harmonies.
I think with Brian, it was all about production values.....he was a perfectionist
@@rustykilt He was determined to be better than British bands.

@@lynnturman8157 it's very reminiscent of the opening of the Monkees tv show, from 1966, two years before this. Nothing to do with Hard Day's Night.
@@liamfan In a roundabout way it kinda is, because the Monkees TV show was kinda meant to be a serialized version of what A Hard Day's Night was.

First heard this on an old cassette I found in the bedroom as a young kid in the 70's. Loved it since the day I heard it.
We come on the sloop John B
My grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we did roam
Drinking all night
Got into a fight
Well I feel so broke up
I want to go home
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I wanna go home, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up
I wanna go home
The first mate he got drunk
And broke in the Cap'n's trunk
The constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone
Why don't you leave me alone, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up I wanna go home
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I wanna go home, let me go home
Why don't you let me go home
(Hoist up the John B's sail)
Hoist up the John B
I feel so broke up I wanna go home
Let me go home
The poor cook he caught the fits
And threw away all my grits
And then he took and he ate up all of my corn
Let me go home
Why don't they let me go home
This is the worst trip I've ever been on
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I wanna go home, let me go home
Why don't you let me go home
this tune , I just cannot getta out of my head, it is infectious...............
I can't get this song out of my head either. There was a version Brian and Al performed at Capitol Studios and the Fedatones have done a version.
I have quite a few like this. This is included.
This never gets old. Still funny 50 years later :)
And adorable!
Despite the lyrics, this song generally makes me really happy. Masterpiece of an album.

I saw this video in a class in my senior year of high-school; it's been so long, but I still get massive nostalgia watching it.
This is one of the cutest beach boys videos in my opinion, it shows how much they got along, even though they fought. Long live The Beach Boys!
Except for Mike Love
@@typicalfurry2747 i hate that guy
@@videoestres we all do
@@typicalfurry2747 I don't like him, either. He's such a narcissist. But, as one person commented earlier he looked good in this video, and I like looking at him. But I need to remember that beauty is more than skin deep!
Sung this a thousand times! A great favourite in Rugby Clubs, especially since the 1971 Lions Series win in New Zealand! Great harmonies. Love the Beach Boys!
I love seeing Brian having a great time in this video despite all the crap his dad put him and his brothers through.
I love this song! The harmonies are sublime
This song will always make me think of summers on the deck with my dad. I can just picture him singing along to "then he took and he ate up all of my corn." He's still around but there are not as much beach boy summers anymore.
My Daddy loved this song ,as did I! I was very young. But loved music of this Era!
My Dad was a massive fan of The Beach Boys. And I'm more than happy to be named after Carl Wilson👍
Cool!
My first concert with my first girlfriend 50 years ago. Had a great time. She’s now gone. Stay sober.
❤ naw
Did she give you head after the concert 🎵?
FANTASTIC.
ABSOLUTEMENT.
YEP.
Carl Wilson makes this video for me. Shy and self-conscious, he was usually in the background but here he is upfront and obviously loving it. Way to go!
Listening to this at work on Labor Day...I wanna go home.
Legendary song... legendary band
the bass is magic,so deep!
Brian the boy genius.
Totally awesome song - my dad had the 20 Golden Greats album when I was a kid and this was my favourite song - still gives me goosebumps 2day - the part where they sing "de-de-deh, de-de-deh" (1:00) makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!! :-)
my all time number one song of all time. there is nothing like blasting this every time i hear it.it's the best. i still love brian. forever and always. he is still the best.
The beach boys...they are good.... love this song ♥️ I can listen to it over n over my favorite....they have good Music.....👌
Real music from a generation that had respect for America and a great and better way of life than today.
This was the era of the California serial killer. Do you really believe that?
One of the Best Groups Of Rock.
God Bless Them Always
Thank you so Much.
Shot fifty years ago today in Brian's back yard in the Hollywood hills. Bunch of wild and crazy cut ups.
I used to listen to this on a 45 rpm. Listened to it over and over again. I was just a kid.
It may be confusing for some to hear Pet Sounds is considered to be one of the if not the greatest album of all time but considering this sounds more unique than like most of popular music of the mid 60s is would go on to influence artists. Brian Wilson’s a Bloody Genius, God Bless that man’s soul
Im 44 grew up with my parents loving these guys!!! I love them too, I love the harmonys and just everything they have put out. Amazing group!!!! Love your music, my 3 year old granddaughter does too. Thank you Beach Boys!!
One of my favourite songs by any band of any genre of any era. Simply perfect.
To give Mike Love probably the only credit he'll ever deserve, he looked cool as hell with that beret/beard combo.
Emphasize the ONLY credit. Ever!
Think about it, you're giving him credit about his looks, and not his singing.
That's a scally cap
he had a voice and was GOOD friends with one of the heartfelt bands thanks to Brian Wilson
The beret was to cover his balding head
wonderful harmonies
one of my junior school teachers made us sing this she was involved
with this record somehow
she made us do all the different vocal bits
she was cool
This is one of my favorite 100 songs.
It makes me smile every time I hear it.
fantastic!
i used to have a dementia client, John, who worked in the British merchant’s navy in communications. He was called sparks as a nickname and traveled the world in the late 1940s by ship delivering and collecting cargo from China and Japan post WW2, I played this song over and over every time I visited his home and we’d dance in the kitchen🤣🤣 rest in peace, Sparks!
The best thing on RUclips. Never fails to bring a smile on my face. The world will be a better place if everyone just watched this all day.
Indeed. Even now with the Ukraine war
I consider myself a fanatic of Brian Wilson, but I had no idea this existed before I saw Love & Mercy!
Adhesive Boi Dude, how could you have had no idea this existed?
+Adhesive Boi Obviously you were not a "fanatic".
+Adhesive Boi yea brian wilson is great
Anybody else remember this booming from the stands at Upton Park? Miss Upton Park so much and this reminds me of it. COYI ⚒️⚒️⚒️⚒️⚒️⚒️
A great song never goes out of date
