In Reply to: So, why did the almighty Beach Boys get nuked by the Brits and SF music scenes? posted by tinear on February 22, 2007 at 04:49:42:
I was on the east coast at the time. We viewed the BBs as the younger version of the Four Freshman/Ray Coniff/Henry Mancini school of music. We used to mangle BBs songs ala Wierd Al. babababababaran became papapapapapapoverty, I can't remember the rest. We thought the whole blond hair, blue eyed, surfer school was an ad for being white, clean, and neat. Kinda the same reaction I get seeing the OC and Housewives (the fake real and the fake fake versions) on TV today.
