This is a somewhat clumsy but no less heartelt love letter from Mike Love to Brian Wilson. Anyone who knows the stories of their battles, trials (literally – they’ve sued each other) and tribulations might look upon this with a rather cynical eye as being bit of a rip off of Brian’s great ideas, whi...
[Verse 1]
Teenage gamblers
Sitting in a Rambler
Listening to the radio
And then standing in the grandstand
Following the gameplan
Watching life's plays unfold
You fell in love with a pretty cheerleader
I even married one
And we once rode a cab out in Salt Lake City
Coming up with "Fun Fun Fun"
(Fun fun fun)
[Chorus]
They say that Brian is back
Well I've known him for oh so long
They say Brian is back
Well I never knew that he was gone
Still they say "Brian is back"
I know he's had his ups and downs
Well they say "Brian is back"
But in my heart he's always been around
[Verse 2]
I still remember
His sounding sweet and tender
Singing "Danny Boy" on Grandma's lap
And those harmony highs
Could bring tears to my eyes
I guess I'm just a sentimental sap
"Good Vibrations" caused such a sensation
Not to mention old Pet Sounds
And we travelled the world
As the banners unfurled
I guess you'd have to say we got around
(We got around we got around)
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
