Mike, do you think your vocal on "Surfin' USA" is better than Chuck Berry's on "Sweet Little Sixteen"?

of course the first non-beach boys baseball cap i've seen him sporting is "usa".

Mike, does it make you feel better that after all the hatorade, Belle & Sebastian--in their classic "I Love My Car"--declared that they "...even love Mike Love..."?

mike if you had to choose your car, school, girl, or surfing, what would you be true to

skip, I look forward to "keeping the summer alive" with Brian on tour, celebrating the Beach Boys' 75th anniversary in the year 2036.
iatee, Cars, girls and surfing have all let me down over the years. But I remain true to my school.

Hey Mike, what's the hold up w/"Stars & Stripes Vol.II"? America needs you dueting w/Kenny Chesney on "Sail On, Sailor" now more than ever!
― Mucho! Macho! Honcho!: Turn Off The Dark (C. Grisso/McCain), Monday, 22 August 2011 21:43 (twelve years ago) link
C. Grisso, I would love to duet with Kenny Chesney. However, I'm not familiar with a song called "Sail On, Sailor." We could do "Kokomo," though, which is the Beach Boys' all time greatest song. Kisses, Mike Lovehttp://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4c/Kokomo.jpg
― tylerw, Monday, 22 August 2011 21:49 (twelve years ago) link
I assume that "Kokomo" did not take the first place spot in this poll because it was "too obvious." Thanks, Mike Lovehttp://www.backtotheeighties.net/images/cocktail-tricks.jpg
― tylerw, Monday, 22 August 2011 22:10 (twelve years ago) link
Mike, I wanted to let you know that my car broke down in Kokomo, Indiana once, & the line "we'll get there fast & then we'll take it slow" was infused with new ~meaning~...& now I think the song is an Alice In Wonderland-like multisemantic masterpiece.
― Euler, Monday, 22 August 2011 22:13 (twelve years ago) link
Thanks, Euler, that's what John Phillips and I were going for when we wrote "Kokomo." Even though we single out specific places in the song, I never wanted it to be limited to those locales. Kokomo is a place, yes, but it's also a *state of mind*. In other words, Kokomo is inside of all of us -- we just have to be able to find it. Hope that helps, Mike Lovehttp://famous-relationships.topsynergy.com/!photos/Mike_Love.jpg

Mike, in this uncertain age I feel it's time for students to demonstrate. You might say it's "Student Demonstration Time". Thoughts?

Mike, one more and then I'll let you go write a hit. When Brian sang out the side of his mouth, did it remind you of Popeye just a little?

Mike Love, can you shed a little light on the making of the intro to "TM Song" off your best album, 15 Big Ones? Were you and the rest of the Beach Boys given scripts or was it all ad-libbed? And what were you arguing about?

― Duncan Disorderly (Tom D.), Tuesday, 23 August 2011 13:33 (twelve years ago) link
dog latin, "TM Song" is a fun example of the guys horsing around in the studio. We all loved each other so much and had lots of laughs as "America's Band." Interestingly, you may note that the lyrics of "TM Song" foreshadow the lyrics of "Kokomo": Maharishi gave it to meAnd I wonder if it set me freeAnd it didAnd he'll tell you "sometimes it goes real fast and other times it goesReal slowAny way you do it it's bound to work I know"So you see the path to inner consciousness -- your own private Kokomo, if you will -- can be instantaneous, or it can take years.
