Brian Wilson is an absolute genius, he wrote the songs and all the instrumentals PLUS the harmonies and he is deaf in one ear after his father hit him in the head...he was a real piece of work and sold all the rights to their music without telling them. Later on Brian was kept hostage by his 'psychologist' who was ripping him off and keeping him sedated with a tonne of different pills. A maid at the house ended up telling his new girlfriend about it and she got him out. There's a movie about it starring John Cusack. Anyway love this song and there are so many others like God only Knows...Paul McCartney said it was the most beautiful song he'd ever heard.
Their harmonies were always spot on. They spent a lot of time on production. The instruments were played by session musicians - The Wrecking Crew. They played on everything! Look them up.
Brian played piano and tambourine, Carl played guitar, Dennis played Hammond organ and of course, all the harmonies were the Beach Boys. There are many layers in the production of this song. But the Wrecking Crew did play most of the music on the track.
@@debjorgo Yup! Of course it wasn't that the Beach Boys couldn't play. The session guys were more flexible, picked stuff up quicker and were real pros. Studio time was expensive but with this track you wouldn't know it. Wilson was a perfectionist so it took months. Hal Blaine and Carol Kaye a killer combination.
One of my Father’s favorite groups; could easily be dismissed today as just surfer music, but they were groundbreaking with their production; wonderful fill the room from top to bottom sound; next Beach Boys songs: “In My Room” , “God Only Knows” ❤️❤️❤️ Ok, I’m crying now.
Brian Wilson's mother used to talk to him about "good vibrations" being picked up from people (and dogs!). When he told Tony Asher, who wrote the lyrics, this story, they composed this song based on Brian's riff: "good, good, good, good vibrations."
Tony Asher wrote the lyrics to a number of songs on "Pet Sounds,:" but Mike Love, lead singer of the Beach Boys, wrote the lyrics to Good Vibrations -- at the last minute, on the to the recording studio.
Folks talk about the great vocals and harmonies of The Beach Boys (justly so. They are one of the, if not the, greatest harmony bands ever) But just look at these great lyrics.... " I love the colorful clothes she wears And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair I hear the sound of a gentle word On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air Close my eyes, she's somehow closer now Softly smile, I know she must be kind When I look in her eyes She goes with me to a blossom world" I mean come on man, is that not the prettiest and most loving way to admire a woman from afar that you are crushing on? Its perfect. Really paints an exact picture of young love and infatuation with a girl. What does "she goes with me to a blossom world" even mean? Well it means he is so crazy about her that when their eyes meet they see stars and everything is flowers. Corny? I dont know you tell me. I think its a great description and that guys are afraid to admit to the tender things in love. Real men can do that. Its simply some of the most beautiful lyrics written to describe that feeling imo. Brian Wilson (the leader and writer of the Beach Boys songs) called this his "pocket symphony" A song that encompossed everything in one song. His masterpiece most likely. They spent 6 months on this one song. Unheard of in those days when songs were recorded in hours and at the most a few days.
This record, "Pet Sounds", and Brian Wilsons' polished songwriting, actually inspired John Lennon and The Beatles to write their masterpiece LP "Sergeant Peppers' Lonely Hearts Club Band". It also influenced many great artists at the time. Brian Wilson was very respected by everyone for his refined writing style. Great video, folks!
This is my favorite Beach Boys song. I went to see them in NYC in 1969 just for this song. This song was all Brian Wilson's doing. At the time, this was the most expensive song ever produced, costing about 40 50 thousand dollars in today's money
So many brilliant songs and productions by Brian Wilson and Company. One of THE most important bands in rock history. Probably second only to The Beatles.
it took a lot of studio time/tech to get the record how Brian Wilson liked it, (Irked the rest of the band), but the wait was well worth it....A number one hit.
That high pitched fibroid instrument is called the Therman and when I was about 12 I threw this song this musical piece and inspire me to buy a kit from popular electronics to put together it was a Therimin you didn’t touch that instrument you just lift your hands above two plates to create both the frequency in one hand and the volume in the other It was funny that music inspired my dive into electronics like Jimi Hendrix when I heard his Wahwah pedal on the guitar I went out and bought a kit to make my own Wahwah pedal for the little funky band I was in
Melody - counter melody - harmonies (multiple lyric lines running simultaneously) -- -- - - - This was a groundbreaking song/recording showing Brian Wilson's genius - Phil Spector's "Wall Of Sound" production techniques - - - Remember - no digital "magic" available in 1966. Over dubbing had to be synced up on tape.
I love how your not afraid to explore other genres and types of music, you keep an open mind and are receptive to new exploration, thanks!! great content!
Listen to the line the theremin (high, eerie electronic - oo-oo-ooo-oo-oo... lol) is playing...textbook scary sh!t!! That rapid pulse. Great arrangement and production, all the transitions. What a trip. This was so groundbreaking and different back in the day, '66.
I don’t know if any other commenter mentioned this, but the weird sci-fi sound is from an instrument called a theremin. It is played by moving your hands through a magnetic/electrical field. It was invented in the 1920’s.
Y’all gotta check out the movie “Love and Mercy” with Paul Dano, it’s about Brian Wilson. Arguably the best music biopic ever made, it’s one of the only films to actually focus on the creative process
Legendary for the advances in music mixing. Even if you thought they were a "psychedelic barber shop quartet" as Jimi Hendrix called them. The Beatles tried to outdo them with their extravagant Seargent Pepper album.
Many of the early beachboys songs took whole melody or whole sections from Chuck Berry songs. The Beachhoys are one of my fave favorites though. You should also Check out The Little old Lady from Pasadena by Jan & Dean.
I am biased, the music of Our time has no time, it’s the best all the time… Beach boys made a big name from themselves doing a lot of wonderful music we connected to, and created their own music. Can’t go wrong with reacting to the beach boys
There was a life after death type movie called 'Vanilla Sky' that's pretty good with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz that I remember there was big scene in it that was pretty intense with this song blaring.
As big as the Beatles were in the 60's The Beach Boy's were just as big. On the west coast they were bigger than the Beatles as they captured the California feel and vibes at the time.
So many great songs by them. I hope you check out more. "California Girls", "Wouldn't It Be Nice", "Barbara Ann" are a few to get you started but I know I'm leaving out many other greats that will be mentioned in other comments. I don't think they had a bad song.
If you want to watch something interesting, watch on TH-cam "Good Vibrations-The Lost Tapes". It will show you how much went into the production of this song.
you guys are a cute couple. you should checkout Kokomo by The Beach Boys. it's actually from the late 80s not the 60s like most. it hit # 1 too. late 80s. forget what year.
Cocomo is the (Caribbean-type) song by the Beach Boys--- not Margaritaville. Margaritaville is "Wastin' away in Margaritaville" --- Jimmy Buffet. Peace to both of you. Keep on postin' the music. God bless
Okay luv you guys. Beach boys was my 1st concert ever… so this is COOL AF OF y’all. And sorry reckless man got to say ……. She looks so much like my first love 💕…. Dont F¥c€ up

I've lived in coastal So-Cal for my entire life and am a life-long Beach Boys fan......"Love And Mercy" was a really good film...and revealing!

God Only Knows and Don’t Worry Baby should be next. Incredible band.
yes god only knows should be next :D

Correction: it's "Pet Sounds", no shop.
@@hipsville Thanx, temporary insanity.
The Beatles and the Beach Boys had a friendly songwriting rivalry. They were always trying to write the better songs.
Likewise Rubber Soul inspired Brian to do Pet Sounds.
Paul McCartney wrote most of Sgt Peppers, not John.

This was the Beach Boys' masterpiece. There is so much more you are missing about the Beach Boys before this record.
This was one of those songs that pioneered what you could do in the studio to create a song
So many brilliant songs and productions by Brian Wilson and Company. One of THE most important bands in rock history. Probably second only to The Beatles.
There was a period in my young life that revolved around The Beach Boys. Great group.
Legendary group that invented a sound all their own
and cemented it for future generations.
it took a lot of studio time/tech to get the record how Brian Wilson liked it, (Irked the rest of the band), but the wait was well worth it....A number one hit.

please do Don’t Worry Baby next !! my fave Beach Boys song ever
The beach Boys are a very great band
Brilliant band.
the original Vibe song
One of the most genius compilations ever and she’s kind “it’s ok, I like it”…doesn’t even have the ear or knowledge to know how amazing it is.
Love the Beach Boys. They have a lot of great songs. Pure legends.
Margaritaville is Sung by Jimmy Buffet 1977 . You must be Thinking of Kokomo by the Beach Boys 1988
Oh if you like The Beach Boys you’ll love their song, Don’t worry baby.

More Beach boys!
The Wrecking Crew musicians who played on this recording are amazing.
Glen Campbell a one time member of the wrecking crew would be worth checking out. Amazing guitarist and singer.
Brian Wilson is a genius Carl Wilson had the voice
React to Sloop John B by the Beach Boys! It's my favorite song of theirs and the harmonies are straight it's so good!
My mother would always put them in the 8 track while cleaning the kitchen.
One of the most perfect pop songs of all time.
The best most perfect pop song of all time is Be My Baby by The Ronettes
IMO
This song is among the top 10 songs ever written in the 20th or any other century.
When Brian introduced the songs from Pet Sounds the other Beach Boys were hesitant because they said it was their sound. They came around.
I remember this song in Flight of the Navigator. Great movie if you’ve never seen it.
Wow, that was a great movie. My kids watched it over and over...on VHS 😄
Considered in the top songs ever written…..
I love how your not afraid to explore other genres and types of music, you keep an open mind and are receptive to new exploration, thanks!! great content!
Absolute Masterpiece! Classic Americana....
Definitely listen to Pet Sounds!
Gotta love the beach boys!

A good summer song is WE GOT THE BEAT fro the GO GO's an all female group from 1979-1985
It just shocks me this is the first time you have heard this song.
You should do more reactions by them. Enjoy yall's day.
🤣🤣🤣 The chills. She played you and I loved it. You gotta pay closer attention when y'all talk.
God only knows and wouldnt it be nice are the next beach boys songs to check out. God only knows is their best song in my opinion.
....I wish I could be hearing this music for the first time....you are fortunate
The Beach Boys were known for their harmonies.
Great production
In my room had always been an emotionally powerful song to me.
Y’all gotta check out the movie “Love and Mercy” with Paul Dano, it’s about Brian Wilson. Arguably the best music biopic ever made, it’s one of the only films to actually focus on the creative process
Legendary for the advances in music mixing. Even if you thought they were a "psychedelic barber shop quartet" as Jimi Hendrix called them. The Beatles tried to outdo them with their extravagant Seargent Pepper album.
Music producers still study and discuss, this record
Nice! Yo check out the beach boys “God Only Knows” 🙏🏻
That Carol Kaye bass line too.
“Don’t Worry Baby” and “You’re So Good To Me” are two other great Beach Boys songs. They have many. 🙂✌️
Many of the early beachboys songs took whole melody or whole sections from Chuck Berry songs. The Beachhoys are one of my fave favorites though. You should also Check out The Little old Lady from Pasadena by Jan & Dean.
Their vocal harmonies are the musical equivalent of pure sunlight, that's all.
It was written in response to the Beatles who said that they could not do psychedelic music.
I am biased, the music of Our time has no time, it’s the best all the time… Beach boys made a big name from themselves doing a lot of wonderful music we connected to, and created their own music. Can’t go wrong with reacting to the beach boys
"You mean the marango. What's a marango?" 😂
Good point on the Bee Gees harmonies. Siblings definitely have an advantage. Also The Beach Boys had three brothers. Brian, Carl and Dennis.
There was a life after death type movie called 'Vanilla Sky' that's pretty good with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz that I remember there was big scene in it that was pretty intense with this song blaring.
Love them
LOL. What's a Marango? It's a dance that you just invented that combines the Merengue with the Tango.
That there is some good head bobbing music!
As big as the Beatles were in the 60's The Beach Boy's were just as big. On the west coast they were bigger than the Beatles as they captured the California feel and vibes at the time.
Two words:
Unrivaled
Harmony
Surfing USA KOOL 😎 tune
This is The Beach Boys most iconic song…..
Watch the movie Love & Mercy. Brian Wilson’s whole story is tremendous - an inspirational miracle and tragedy all in one.
BBD-POISON
Check out Kokomo, it’s from the movie Cocktail with Tom Cruise. A bit more modern by Beachboys
You guys are growing on me. Her beauty and your style!
There used to be a resturant in my state called (That Other Place)......That Other Place = Scary Movie That was awesome.
So many great songs by them. I hope you check out more. "California Girls", "Wouldn't It Be Nice", "Barbara Ann" are a few to get you started but I know I'm leaving out many other greats that will be mentioned in other comments. I don't think they had a bad song.
I like get around. My mam used to play it back in the day. Like dropped buds
The Beach Boys are really one guy. He's a musical savant.
Love the Beach Boys but every time I listen to them Charlie Manson pops in my head. ✌
Why???
React to Peter Paul and Mary Blowin in the Wind
Sheeiitt we going back in time. And I dig it💥
Should check out the eagles, they have some amazing harmonies
For a great one later in their career listen to Kokomo, it will give you Margaritaville vibes.
Hotel transylvania.. 😂 I just knew u were going to say that movie!
Do Immortal Technique "Civil War"
If you want to watch something interesting, watch on TH-cam "Good Vibrations-The Lost Tapes". It will show you how much went into the production of this song.
I could go for a Sunkist right now!
The chorus is key changes which is very different
REACT TO BEACH BOYS KOKOMO OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO AND BABARBA ANN
you guys are a cute couple. you should checkout Kokomo by The Beach Boys. it's actually from the late 80s not the 60s like most. it hit # 1 too. late 80s. forget what year.
Vanilla Sky!
You should do a reaction to Good Vibrations from Live Aid.
Cocomo is the (Caribbean-type) song by the Beach Boys--- not Margaritaville. Margaritaville is "Wastin' away in Margaritaville" --- Jimmy Buffet.
Peace to both of you. Keep on postin' the music.
God bless
Hells yes!!
Saw em about 25 years ago
Much better watching live.
Okay luv you guys. Beach boys was my 1st concert ever… so this is COOL AF OF y’all. And sorry reckless man got to say ……. She looks so much like my first love 💕…. Dont F¥c€ up
Warning: Boomer comment. Vibes of Marcia Brady in Hawaii
Deja Vu. with Denzel Washington. No that was DONT WORRY BABY. Never mind..
It was Kokomo
