* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]
* [[Archive Panic]]
* [[Awesome Music]]:
** ''Pet Sounds'' and ''Smile''
Line 35:
* [[Growing the Beard]] - ''The Beach Boys Today!'' marked the point when they moved from simple surf songs to something more sophisticated, a transition that would reach its fullest flower with ''Pet Sounds''.
** [http://30daysout.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/beach-boys.jpg In an alternate sense as well.]
* [[
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]] - [[Paul McCartney]] makes a guest appearance on the ''Smiley Smile'' song "Vegetables"... chomping on celery.
** [[The Rutles|Stig O'Hara]] joined the band for a few years in the Seventies.
* [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel]] - "Fire", aka "Mrs. O'leary's Cow", from the ''Smile'' sessions. At the time it was made, Brian Wilson was convinced that the song was somehow causing fires that had been happening around the studio it was recorded at.
Line 42:
* [[Memetic Mutation]] - AH-UUM-BOP-DIDDIT, AH-UUM-BOP-DIDDIT...
** I'm a genius, too.
* [[Misattributed Song]] - You have to feel sorry for [[Jan and Dean]]. Even though they preceded the Beach Boys, they were ultimately overshadowed by them, and even worse, many of their hits are often erroneously assumed to be Beach Boys songs.
** This isn't helped by the fact that Brian Wilson co-wrote several of their songs, and even provided backing vocals for "Surf City". And the fact that the Beach Boys covered one Jan and Dean hit, "The Little Old Lady from Pasadena", on their first live album does nothing to clear up the confusion with regards to ''that'' song.
* [[
* [[Moment of Awesome (Sugar Wiki)|Moment of Awesome]] - A good 38 years after ''Smile'' was aborted, Brian Wilson finished it.
* [[Mondegreen]] - "Caroline, No" was originally called "Carol, I Know", but Brian misheard it as Caroline. [[Throw It In|They decided to go with the new title anyway]].
Line 55:
** The fact that Brian Wilson once owned a health food store called The Radiant Radish.
** The fact that country music star Glen Campbell started off playing session guitar for their records, as well as briefly taking Brian's place on tour.
** The fact that [[
** The fact that Dennis Wilson co-wrote the song "You Are So Beautiful" at a party with Billy Preston, but never took credit for it.
* [[Rescued
** Let's be fair: "The Beaks of Eagles" is an adaptation of a Robinson Jeffers poem.
* [[The Scrappy]] - Mike Love is mostly remembered for either being the primary factor in the collapse of ''Smile'', perpetuating The Beach Boys as a corny nostalgia act even to this day, or both.
Line 63:
* [[Seinfeld Is Unfunny]] - In spades. When most people think of The Beach Boys, they do not think "one of the greatest and most influential bands of the last 50 years" as much as they think "oldies group".
* [[Too Cool to Live]] - Dennis.
* [[Vindicated
* [[The Woobie]] - Brian Wilson, in every possible way.
* [[WTH Costuming Department]]:
