The Bee Gees tribute responses included a PGMusic challenge for a Beach Boys tribute. Hmmm. Well THAT'S not hard, is it? Anyway...here it is. Not entirely PC, but neither were the Beach Boys in the sixties... lyrics by R.W. Davis vocals by Dusty Hughes _RIPPING.STY https://soundcloud.com/ron-davis-670103812/drowning-in-the-poolEnjoy!

Hi Ron,
That was a good listen from the songwriting team. You certainly managed to capture the essence of the Beach Boys while maintaining your own unique sound. I found the journey pleasantly entertaining.
All the best, Noel

You certainly captured both the 60's and the Beach Boys.
The harmonies worked extremely well especially in the Chorus, and the choice of style slotted in just absolutely perfectly.
"She wanted to ditch her fancy clothes and put on a small bikini" "As she slowly passed all the fellows, and sipped on a dry Martini"
Excellent. How 60's is that?

Hey guys,
Some pretty cool 60s sounds! Good job by all concerned. You certainly inspired the right mood. The vocal harmony was terrific - a trademark of The beach Boys. Good write, delivery and mix. Super cool listen! Thanks for the trip back in time - we can easily remember that era. We were in high school. Yikes - we're old!

Thanks for all the kind comments. It was a VERY fun song to do.
A note about all of these songs...
We're a product of the internet. My lyricist sends me lyrics by email. He's more clever than me by half. I know him very well, but he lives in another state, and I don't see him often enough.
I write the music, arrange them in BiaB, record scratch vocals and sometimes harmonies or guitar, mix it down and produce it.
If we like it, we send it Dusty over the internet, who sings all of these that I post. He arranges and sings the harmonies and BGVs, and sometimes plays guitar if I ask. He'll follow any harmony or guitar part I send him, but he'll go for it without a guide as well. (He did THESE without a guide.) He is SO talented, really respects the music, and is nice guy as well. Never met him.
Thanks again. More to do!

Very cool! Nice, fun song. Good job of creating that "Beach Boys" sound. Really enjoyed it.

Always pleasure to listen to your super catchy pop songs, especially this one with 60's vibe. Nice vocal and harmonies. Good BB-BIAB band, the crunchy bass is a perfect fit.

Thanks, Janne! Music is such a cool thing, and who knows WHERE it comes from? Really enjoyed doing it, and appreciate that you like it!
BTW, spent a week in Helsinki for work a few years ago, what a great city! Need to get back there one day. All the best, Ron
