defend the indefensible: "kokomo" by the beach boys

not bad

UMS: compare "Body Like a Back Road," specifically the line "I'ma take it slow just as fast as I can."

I get more requests to write about this song than any other, and I have to say, "But it's not bad."

^ this guy fuckin' gets it

it's bad

I don't dislike it.

I was born in 1986 and it wasn't until like 2003 that I found out that the Beach Boys had more songs than "Kokomo"

Best thing Stamos was ever involved in.

i think it makes a lot more sense than this line

though "I'ma take it slow just as fast as I can." def has some "galaxy brain" appeal

song/verse is so so and just kind of there but the catchy chorus alone def makes it. if nothing else then Mike Love hit a homerun there. this is a fast food jingle level earworm.

Yeah I have always liked this song while knowing (even as a kid) it was trash.
And the verses are nice but indeed the most catchy part is Love’s.
Actually I’m pretty sure if you ask 100 persons to sing « Good Vibrations », I’m pretty sure 60% will sing Mike’s chorus part.

60% of people are pretty dumb tbh

I think of the bit where Mark says "c'mon, feel it feel it!"

aruba jamaica oh I want to take you to
bermuda bahama let’s leave it up to fema
key largo montego baby my state’s a frozen igloo
oh I want to take you down to
cancun-o we'll get there fast and then I’ll shitpost slow
that's where mr. trump would go way down in cancun-o
