You've Got To Hide Your Love Away - Beach Boys (LP/1965)

You've Got To Hide Your Love Away was written by John Lennon. The Beatles recorded it for their 1965 album and movie Help! A version by the Silkie, a British quartet, reached the top-ten in December 1965. The Beach Boys, with Dennis Wilson singing lead, recorded the song for their 1965 album Beach Boys Party! (The Beatles and Beach Boys both seemed to like exclamation points.)

The Troggs were best known for their 1966 number-one hit Wild Thing and their 1968 top-ten hit Love Is All Around. Their version of the Beach Boys' Good Vibrations got to #102 on the Bubbling Under chart in May 1975. If you ever wondered if anyone could ruin that song, well, wonder no more. This is awful!

Good Vibrations: The Beach Boys Channel is returning. It will air on SiriusXM Channel 105 from July 1 through August 29 – and I'm not accusing Capitol Records of payola. Oh no, of course not, even though the channel will help boost sales of last month's release of the expanded edition of the 2003 30-track album Sounds Of Summer: The Very Best Of The Beach Boys. The new 3-CD set includes 80 songs, all re-mastered.....but no alternate versions and no unreleased tracks. It is the 28th – twenty-eighth! – Beach Boys greatest-hits compilation.

Who wants to hear what may be the all-time worst Beach Boys song? Nobody? Yeah, that's what I thought. Here Comes The Night was a track on thei Beach Boys' December 1967 album Wild Honey. In 1979, they recorded a new version, a disco version. It was 10:51 in length and featured Carl Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine and Bruce Johnston. Brian Wilson, who sang lead on the original version, wisely decided to not take part in this godawful remake. It somehow managed to make it to #44 on the Hot 100 and #48 on the Disco chart.

I'll have to remember to come back to this thread and see if can outdo what I consider to be the worst BB song of all ever:

 

[Channel98]

In 1992, the Beach Boys – Al Jardine, Mike Love, Carl Wilson, Bruce Johnston – recorded a version of Sly & The Family Stone's Hot Fun In The Summertime for their album Summer In Paradise. John Stamos plays drums on the track. Released as a single, it failed to make the Hot 100 but reached #17 on the adult contemporary chart in September 1992. Summer In Paradise, which also included remakes of the Drifters' Under The Boardwalk and the Shangri-Las' Remember (Walking In The Sand), became the first Beach Boys album to fail to makeBillboard's Top 200 album chart. One hundred forty-five thousand copies were shipped to record stores – and only around a thousand were sold. The album has never been re-released. It remains out of print – and deservedly so.

 

[sadchild]

"Here Comes The Night" is dull, repetitive, uninspired, weird and very un-Beach Boys. Reminds me of a lot of 12" remixes from the 80s that drone on and actually ruin the original. But I gotta stick with "Hot Fun" remaining as their worst song IMO. I mean, the only old white guy talk-rap song worse than it is Buzz Aldrin's "Rocket Experience". Even having Snoop Dogg coaching him couldn't make it not terrible.

 

[Channel98]

Here is another awful Beach Boys song. In 1967 they recorded Cool Cool Water, written by Brian Wilson. The song was intended for the Wild Honey album – but ultimately was not included. In 1970 the Beach Boys recorded a new version of the song with new lyrics by Mike Love – and a Moog synthesizer. It became the final track on their Sunflower album. "Drip, drip, drip, drip, drink a little.....in an ocean or in a glass, cool water is such a gas." Gak!

Ah, the John Stamos years.

I've been listening on and off all summer. also Margaritiville. But with the cool spring-like season we've had this summer I'm still listening to a lot of the Coffeehouse.
