The Beach Boys track God Only Knows is one of our favorite songs. We also love Scary Pockets and Pomplamoose singer Nataly Dawn. So let’s see what happens when all three come together. We miss the vocal harmonies of the original, but we dig the funky and soulful new take on the 1966 rock classic.
Imagine for a moment that The Beach Boys hired Ozzy Osbourne as their lead vocalist. Now click play on this video and imagine no longer. DJ Cummerbund’s unlikely mashup combines Ozzy’s earnest track Mama, I’m Coming Home with the California surf sounds of Fun, Fun, Fun.
You’ve gotta fight… for your right… to beach party! If The Beastie Boys sang like The Beach Boys, it might sound something like Kevin Miller’s clever rework of Fight for Your Right set to the tune of I Get Around. We can totally imagine a video with the Beasties riding the waves on surf boards.
My Morning Jacket’s frontman Jim James’ fantastic cover of The Beach Boys’ I Guess I Just Wasn’t Made for These Times sounds more like an alternate recording, only with the psych vibe amped up. It’s from James’ upcoming album of covers Tribute To 2.
