"The Warmth Of The Sun"
The Funny Lyrics: I'll dream of her arms
And though they're not real Why They're Funny: Suggests a woman with prosthetic arms. Creepy!
Submitted by: Steve
| "Wouldn't It Be Nice?"
The Funny Lyrics: I wish that every kiss was never-ending
Why They're Funny: Uh, yeah. But how could one kiss begin in the first place if the last one hasn't ended yet?

Why They're Repetitive: Early Take, available on Smiley Smile album, except for the verses, this is the only lyric in the whole song
Submitted by: Bobo
| "Help Me Rhonda"
The Repetitive Lyrics: Help me Rhonda, Help help me Rhonda
Why They're Repetitive: This unfortunately is the chorus/refrain and is repeated 6 or 7 times _ What? They thought I wouldn't get the words the second time?

"Surfin' Safari"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: I tell you surfing's mighty wild.
It's getting bigger every day, From Hawaii to the shores of Peru. Why They're Nonsensical: Between Hawaii and Peru, there's mostly open ocean. That's not where folks typically surf. I'm pretty sure that neither when the song came out, nor at any other time, all that open ocean was a place where surfing could be said to be "getting bigger every day", nor was it an any sense "mighty wild." That being said, did the group ever need to change its name from "The Beach Boys" to "The Open Ocean Boys"?

| "Little Saint Nick"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: With a half a dozen deer with Rudy to lead.
Why They're Nonsensical: I thought Santa had 9 reindeer?? 'Half a dozen' is only 6. Maybe they failed math? (By the way, Rudy is short for Rudolph, so don't question that part.)

"Getcha Back"
The Insincere Lyrics: He may have money and a brand new car May even treat you like a movie star Ain't no matter what he ever do for you He can never love you like I do
Why They're Insincere: At the time this song was made (1984) it's singer & lyricist Mike Love was a 43 year old, long time millionaire. What's saddest about it is not it's insincerity, but Love's inability (with a few exceptions) to write from any perspective more recent than the Kennedy administration.

"Don't Worry, Baby"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: take along my love with you
...nothing could go wrong with you Why They're Misrhymed: It would have been so easy to move the word 'along' so it would become 'take my love along with you,' which would then rhyme with 'nothing could go wrong with you.' Just a mistake during the recording session?
Submitted by: PhiskPhan
| "Surfin'"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: And when the dj tells me that the surfin' is fine
That's when I know my baby will have a good time Why They're Misrhymed: The word 'fine' doesn't exactly rhyme with the word 'time'.

"Auld Lang Syne"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: And if you happen to be listening to this album right now
Why They're Inappropriate: At the end of the Beachboys Christmas album, there is a message spoken by Dennis Wilson while Auld Lang Syne is being sung. It includes the above phrase which is very redundant. If you are hearing these words, obviously you're listening to the album. He should have left this out, especially since he goofed up on the word "happen."

| "Drive-In"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: Remember, 'only you can prevent forest fires'
Why They're Inappropriate: This is Smokey Bear's signature slogan. What does it have to do with drive-in movies??

"All Summer Long"
The Dated Lyrics: T-shirts, cut-offs, and a pair of thongs
Why They're Dated: Back then, "thongs" referred to thong sandals, or "flip-flops". Some people may still use the term in that sense, but for the most part people are likely to think really skimpy underpants (if you can even call it that) or a really skimpy bikini bottom.

The Lyrics: There's a place called Kokomo. That's where we want to go.
Why: Kokomo, as referenced here, is not calling out Kokomo, Indiana, but Kokomo Island, now known as Sandals Cay, in the Caribbean (Jamaica). The new name of the island derives from it's private owner, Sandals Royal-Caribbean All Inclusive Resort.

| "Surfin' USA"
The Lyrics: Then everybody'd be surfin'

"Here Today"
The Lyrics: Keep in mind, love is here today and it's gone.
Tomorrow it's here and gone so fast. Why: One of the many reasons 'Pet Sounds' wasn't that successful in 1966 was because there were so many depressing songs or upbeat yet depressing songs. This song has a great bass solo, a heavy horn section, but this song is about a woman who left this man and he tells his friend to be careful.
