TRIVIA!
It was by The Beach Boys.
Alternate titles for “Pet Sounds” included “Pet Songs,” “Pet’s Songs,” “Pat’s Songs,” “Pat’s Songbook,” “Pat Sajak.”
·Brian Wilson is deaf in one ear and holds the phone up to that ear when Mike Love calls.
“Sloop John B” tells the story of a young boy and his grandfather embarking on a harrowing trip across the ocean. It is played non-stop on every Carnival Cruise.
At one session, Mike Love became frustrated and said, “What the fuck do these words mean?!” It turns out he was eating a bowl of Alpha-Bits.
Despite being called The Beach Boys, just two band members surfed. And despite being called The Butthole Surfers, only one of them had a butthole.
Mike Love practices Transcendental Meditation and claims to have levitated; he stopped when the band signed him up to intercept Scud missiles.
Songs recorded but left off the final album: “Good Vibrations,” “The Little Girl I Once Knew,” “1-877-KARS-4-KIDS.”
Despite no formal training, Dennis Wilson taught himself how to shag your mom.
All the animals featured on the album cover were eaten by Ted Nugent.
“Aruba,” “Jamaica,” “Bermuda” and “Bahama” are all names Donald Trump has called Melania.
One track on the album is “I’m Waiting for the Day.” That day is Talk Like a Pirate Day.
