mind you both songs were never finished (Live Again was reused for Cuddle Up, for example)

a big part of why that one is a big deal is because for decades, it was always brought up as Dennis's big "shelved masterpiece" kind of song, and the first version anyone ever heard was some cover version before the BB version came out in 2012.

This would be a 4.5 if Student Demonstration wasn't on it

Legit how



It's hands down the worst song from their 66-71 period and is a shitty generic Mike Love hard rock number with tone-deaf lyrics on an otherwise awesome psych-pop album

It's a fun catchy blues song. Has some nice guitar in it, i dig the piano too. I haven't paid attention to the lyrics so you might be right with that

Yeah, the song pretty much is saying "I know you're sick of society being unfair, but don't protest! Stay home or the police will shoot you!"

Bumping this up to a 4.5 because Student Demonstration Time is really the only song bad enough to hold this back from being a 5

"How are you gonna name Smiley Smile, Sunflower and this before Smile Sessions smh"



Smile Sessions is just a glorified collection remastered demos and I will die on this hill
