Enjoy Pavid Vermin and I’m pretty sure that’s Mary Ann at about 0:30.

Good song, thanks for posting. Dennis Wilson surfed, but he was the only one. The story (myth?) is that he took it up then asked Brian “why not write a song about surfing?” So Brian wrote “Surfin’ USA” by writing surf lyrics to Chuck Berry’s “Sweet Little Sixteen.” I think it was the first surf song to feature vocals–that is, sung vocals as opposed to someone shouting “wipe out.” Anyway, “Surfin’ USA” became their first hit.
Excellent.
I’m also going to need to see some documentation that they liked cars and women.

Have you seen this?
Dennis was the really cool one.
Memo from the pedant’s corner:
Correction: the song Brian wrote at Dennis’ suggestion was “Surfin,” not “Surfin’ USA,” which came a bit later. “Surfin” became a regional hit, but only reached #75 nationally. Still, it was enough to launch their career. Later, “Surfin’ USA” was their first top ten, hitting #2.
Makerbot, I had not seen that and it’s fascinating. Thanks. I didn’t realize Monte Hellman died last year.
