Beach “Boysâ€
I am a Beach Boys fan. They came on the scene when I was in high school and have been making great music, often with complex and sweet harmonies, for more than a half a century.
However, they, like I, are getting to be a bit long in the tooth.
PRS Operatives have learned that the Beach Boys will be releasing a new album, which contains many of their hits remade to be a bit more age-appropriate. Here is a sample:
Spittle Deuce Coupe
Burpin’ Safari
Little Hot Lady from Pasadena
Wipe Me Rhonda
Be True to Your Stool
Nappin’ USA
I Got Around
(I Can’t) Do it Again
Poop John B.
When I Blow Up and Need the Can
Good Dilations
Keep rockin’ fellas.
You ain’t right in the head, Hairboy. You know that, right?

Ms. Erica is correct-You are a sick man. They are now the Sandbox old men.

Love the Beach Boys… but you’ve tickled a few neurons.
When some whippersnapper gets to feeling down
And says his school is lame
I tell him right away
You don’t have a clue, back when I was your age,
I walked there uphill both ways
So shut up and quit whining
Can’t even tell if you’re a girl or guy
Shut up and quit whining
And get offa my lawn
We got eleven hours of homework each and every night
And if it wasn’t done
Our parents wouldn’t feed us
If we didn’t get at least three-quarters of it right
We’d flunk and have to stay back
So shut up and quit whining
Things were tougher when I was a lad
Shut up and quit whining
Your life ain’t so bad
Where’d I put that belt?
(nap during guitar solo)
We all had weekend jobs and chores around the house
We never tried to shirk
Someone would smash us
We all were smart enough to raise your parents right
But you turned out to be jerks
Just shut up and quit whining
It won’t help if you start to cry
Shut up and quit whining
It won’t help you live your life
Shut up and quit whining…
(Rah-rah, rah-rah, sis-boom-bah)

Bwah hah hahhh!
Just saw the Boys a couple of weeks ago. Old as they are, they still sound pretty good… which is something you can’t say for every old rocker out there.
But there is something vaguely ridiculous about a bunch of certified Alter Kockers (Old Goats, for those of you that are Yiddish-impaired) singing about Daddy taking the T-bird away…

Is that what Alter Kockers means? I thought it meant something different.
