Trivia (7)
The group's original lineup consisted of brothers Brian Wilson, Dennis Wilson, and Carl Wilson, their cousin Mike Love, and their friend Al Jardine.
After Brian Wilson decided to stop touring with the band to concentrate on his work as a songwriter, Glen Campbell filled in for him for about six months.
Two biographical films were made about the group: Summer Dreams: The Story of the Beach Boys (1990) and The Beach Boys: An American Family (2000). The latter is more widely known and more critically acclaimed.
Their remake of The Regents' hit "Barbara Ann" was recorded live during a break in a recording session, and was never meant to be released; Brian Wilson later noted that "half the people in the room were singing while the other half were munching on potato chips." There are several points in the song where some of those singing can't remember the lyrics and just mumble something. Capitol Records released it as a single without the band's knowledge, which upset them greatly until they were told that it had reached #2 on the CashBox charts.
Founded Brother Records in 1966.
Their 1966 album "Pet Sounds" is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential albums of all time and always features in critics' polls of the best ever albums.
Their vocal sound was inspired by that of Four Freshmen. Both groups featured brothers and a cousin.
Well East coast girls are hip
I really dig those styles they wear
And the Southern girls with the way they talk
They knock me out when I'm down there
The Mid-West farmer's daughters really make you feel alright
And the Northern girls with the way they kiss
They keep their boyfriends warm at night
I wish they all could be California girls
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California girls
The West coast has the sunshine
And the girls all get so tanned
I dig a french bikini on Hawaiin island dolls
By a palm tree in the sand
I been all around this great big world
And I seen all kinds of girls
Yeah, but I couldn't wait to get back in the States
Back to the cutest girls in the world
I wish they all could be California girls
I wish they…
