@@allensaunders449 Yeah, there's plenty of real music out there... Radio will spoon feed you the pop junkfood as they've done for a long time... If you want the gourmet stuff you've gotta dig a bit deeper yourself.
When i first heard this in 1966 i was 11 , i loved it. Still my fave song of all time of any artist. This solidified Brian Wilsons reputation as one of the great music minds.
@@jweezy101491 No, it's actually a Theremin, the pitch control (the right hand slide) is in the casing on that model, a Heathkit tube-type audio oscillator.
This song is seriously a ridiculous amount of music genius distilled into a single track. This much pop magic, extraordinary attention to detail in every little sound, and weird experimentation that adds so much to the tune is the stuff of dreams and only happens once every few thousand musical careers.
He sure is! Covid, plus we have lives, things pile up sometimes,, he's a highlight of my day,, and this is probably the best song ever written, A lot of people don't realize how much of a genius Brian Wilson is
Hey Brak, I love beans! You're making me smile today. Yeah, I like listening to Mr. Video too. Woo woo woo how about you? I've seen all the Space Ghost and Brak videos. Zorak was my fav and he recommended Rancid to me which I promptly did and I love them.
Brian Wilson is a damn genius. This was all in his head and he made some beautiful music. I'm one of the biggest Beatles fan you'll ever meet (I've been to Liverpool) but Brian Wilson gave the greatest rock n roll band to ever live a good run for their money.
Totally agree, love how the two bands influenced one another. The Beatles are my personal number #1 favourite but it is undeniable that they were profoundly influenced by the Beach Boys and the genius of Brian Wilson. Pet Sounds is truly iconic.
@KNGDNG@LNG Good Vibrations wasn't on Pet Sounds. It was intended for the follow-up album, Smile, which wasn't properly completed for decades due to Brian Wilson's mental health issues.
I do believe there is certainly some genius in Brian Wilson. And he fell down the same trap many of the great artists do. It truly is a shame, and hopefully knowledge, support, intervention can help similar artists of this day and age.
Mr.Video, it's an experience to watch you react to songs that are very dynamic! If we, as an audience know where the song is going and what's about to change, watching your reactions to those changes is priceless! Stay as you are, please. You are putting out a LOT of material out there and growing, I just hope you don't get sick of this. Keep up the good work. 💪
I'm obsessed with the Beach Boys. Always have been. Brain Wilson was the most talented musician ever. I had SUCH a crush on his brother Dennis Wilson (the drummer) RIP... he died by drowning. 😢
K,, me too! Saw them concert once,,, mid 70s,, of course I had to see Dennis Wilson so I was right up stage right. Unfortunately, he needed to be taken off the stage a few times. It wasn't too long after that that he drowned. A lot of people don't know that Brian Wilson did not sing in many of their songs. He produced and wrote from his home studio, and may have provided a background voice here and there. But as you know, he had some mental problems, and couldn't perform on stage. And there was that strange doctor he got involved with. They used to say there's a thin line between genius and insanity.
This was released at a time when The Beach Boys were fading in popularity a little bit. The Beatles were still tearing up the charts and heavier music was starting to make its way into popular music. Then, this song went #1 and them Boys were back on top again...at least for a little bit.
That high-pitched sound in The Beach Boys' 1966 masterpiece "Good Vibrations" is always assumed to be a theremin. But it's not. It's actually an electrotheremin, invented by Paul Tanner. The theremin is played not by touching it, but by waving your hands between the 2 antenna on the machine to create pitch and volume.
I love how you were mesmerized by their fabulous harmonies... you have some great songs and melodies coming your way as you listen to more of the Beach Boys!!!! HUGS
"Spirit of America" was my first album. "Endless Summer" was my second. I'll echo what others have said here: Brian Wilson is a genius. Gotta react to "God Only Knows." IMHO, an absolutely perfect song.
Hey there Mr.Video, The Beach Boys called the "USA Beatles", Brian Wilson is a very good friend of Paul McCartney, I grew up with all that good 60s music, Beach Boys, Beatles, BeeGees, Hollies, SmallFaces, Byrds etc. unforgettable music, my Beach Boys faves are "friends", "do it again" and "god only knows", try some, please, I like your "crazy" reactions, best to you from "Jogi", Germany, Berlin
@@musicsansnotes thank you for your kind note, Yes I'm glad too and enjoy it so much, have all the Beach Boys and Beatles vinyl records in my collection, Pet Sounds & Sgt. Peppers... should put together as a double album ! stay healthy...Best from Jogi, Germany
Seeing your young man's journey makes this Grandma's heart sing. I say this knowing that the right path is not always the quickest path. Keep at it, be patient and flexible, and things will work out for you. Best wishes to you.
now I have that song stuck in my head for a month again..... Somebody went under a dock And there they saw a rock It wasn't a rock It was a rock lobster Rock lobster Rock lobster Rock lobster Rock lobster
A totally hip tune while you're at the beach, by the beach, or anywhere near the beach. Although that could be said about any Beach Boys song. Of course the sweet harmony is so cheerful and soothing. Warm wishes from San Diego🌞 😊✌
The genius of Brian Wilson matched by the talents of the wonderful Carol Kaye (session bass player) These reactions get better and better. Have a great weekend. The next set of Beach Boys tracks Wouldn't it be nice (album, and live in London) Kokomo Barbara Ann God only knows
Love the beach boys. Was at a concert for them when they yelled for the balcony to sing (I think sing) and I just remember a voice yelling back "there is no balcony". Great song and love your reactions as always. Always makes me smile.
Man, you HAVE to do "God Only Knows"! That's not only the most beautiful Beach Boys song, it's one of the most beautiful songs ever written. If this gave you chills, "God Only Knows" will blow your mind.
One rabbit hole you may want to try in the future......."The Doors" They have endless amount of song to enjoy, but just to name a few, try.....Roadhouse Blues, Riders of the storm, L.A Women, Love me Two Times, "The End"
Snakeman 2k19 yes, PLEASE get lost in The Doors. Your smoke will get you right in the groove. The End is long and has a backstory. However, once you start with Love Me 2Times/ Light My Fire you cant come back. Very cool to see everyone jumping out of their usual music genres. You have so much fun. Keep it up!
Your dancing though! 🤣😂 Love it. My mom would dance around the living room to this when my sister and I were small. Probably still does every once in a while 🤣 She still has her record player and vinyl of all the greats from the late 50s to the late 80s.
Sublime; genius. Also, laughed my friggin' arse off watching you reanimate after the quieter bits. Love ya Leo, you rock. I knew this song when I was 6 years old. OMG.
Feel good music...this is my mom's era, but being born in 1971 I heard it plenty on the radio. Moody Blues, The Doors, Mamas and the Pappas...heck, just listen to the Woodstock soundtrack or watch the movie. Music transitioned from the 60's to the 70's sound...and that time was pure magic.
Carl Wilson what a voice.. the vibration is good, hard to believe it's been so long. Crazy stuff out on that beach - Beautiful women tanning in the warmth of the sun, surfs up man, catch a wave and your sitting on top of the world. Love to another great reaction my friend.
LOVE your reaction!!! That is a smooth groove. Starts off slow and then kicks right in gear and you're grooving hard. Never heard this version before .... wow ....
I was only 9 y/o when this song came out, but I remember listening to it on my tiny transistor radio. I think I've seen the Beach Boys a dozen times when I became a big girl. (Billy Joel use to open for them in the '70s.) They were nice enough to learn and cover a song called "Carolina Girls" by General Johnson and The Chairman of the Board when they toured North and South Carolina, a "beach music" classic. Good memories.
I love the way Brian Wilson, a bassist himself features the legendary Bass Guitarist Carol Kay and puts the Bass on the top of the mix, using it as a lead instrument rather than hiding the Bass at the back of the mix hidden behind other instruments. When have access to a bassist as good as Carol Kaye, you use her as a featured player.
I saw them in 1961 at a military base movie theater in Hawaii for 15 cents. Lip synching of course. Dion, Gene Pitney and the Shirelles were also there. I was 13.
The first time I ever heard a Beastie Boys song on the radio I thought I heard the DJ say "Beach Boys." OMG! My reaction when they started playing "You Gotta Fight For Your Right..." I thought to myself "damn, what happened to the Beach Boys." Love them both. That was a few years ago, 1987 I was in the USMC and stationed in 29 Palms CA. THAT's how much it impacted me, I can remember exactly where I was. haha
I remember seeing the Beach Boys on the Fourth of July many years ago. Baseball, hot dogs, Chevrolet's, long summer days in the July heat, and the Beach Boys. America!
You should have WAY more followers! Your reactions are THE BEST! So many channels are just “yeah, I like it”, “it’s good”. You really get into it and enjoy what you are doing and provide hilarious commentary! 💜
Also, I think this is like an extended version of the song, there was a portion toward the end that sounded unfamiliar to me (and I've heard this song a lot).
Ahhh ...reliving my childhood/teen years!!! This is the go to song to raise your spirit and the song "In My Room" is the ultimate anthem for the love/need for solitude(this mellow tune soothes teen angst,BigTime). Both highly recommended,dear friend.💕💕💕💕👍👍👍👍
Hi Leo! Please, please pretty please react to "Joker" by The Steve Miller Band! You will love it! I promise!!! Sending Lots of Love and Light from one of your loyal subs!
Beach Boys were your classic surfer band of the 50s. This song was on Endless Summer and I wore out my dad’s original press on Vinyl. The Beach Boys put out great music.
Hi Leo... Patti from Cali here again.... I start my day with you now. I grew up on the beach at Santa Monica Pier. My dad had a little go cart track behind the famous carousel 🎠. The beach boys were my favorite group. Your reaction was priceless !! If I could do my life over I would definitely want you in it!! I'm so glad I found you!! ♥
You would probably love the "Vega-Tables" Song from The Beach Boys. But this is a more experimental Beach Boys song. The songs that made them big is more like "Surfin' USA", "California Girls", "I Get Around", "Help Me, Rhonda", "Fun, Fun, Fun".
Fun Fact about the Beach Boys: They were a 60s band, but they stayed super-popular well into the 70s- every commercial break on TV seemed to have a spot for a K-Tel Records Beach Boys collection when I was a kid, and all the elementary school kids still listened to them. I've come to learn since that they even had a Saturday morning cartoon series in development. In 1980 & 81, they played the Capitol Mall in DC on the 4th of July. They were expected to do it again in 1983, but Secretery of the Interior James Watt intervened and banned rock music from the 4th of July celebrations because he felt it would draw an "undesirable element" to the Mall. He instead booked Wayne Newton to much public mockery. Who was more all-American than the Beach Boys? All their songs are about surfing, hot rods and girls... It got worse for Watt when Ronald Reagan revealed that he *liked* the Beach Boys, and presented Watt with a plaster trophy of a foot with a bullet hole in it.
Love the Beach Boys. Check out their songs, God Only Knows, Wouldn't It Be Nice, Help Me Rhonda and Kokomo. Oh and check out their live version of Darlin', live at Knebworth.
Two brothers, a cousin and a couple of kids down the block, sold more records than any other US band in history. Not bad. Glad to see the headphones. They are a must for classic rock.
