Interactive “The Beach Boys” Song Title Game

Honored Vet was named to choose today's interactive song title group because of his service to our country as a Marine. His pick - The Beach Boys. The year 1961 finds four family members, brothers Carl, Brian, and Dennis Wilson, cousin Mike Love, and friend Al Jardine enjoying their youth by playing a few instruments here and there and softly singing self composed lyrics inspired by the likes of Johnny Otis and The Four Freshman. Later members (the Wilson brothers) would talk about how they survived an early life of abuse by escaping into their love of music. Their first song, "Surfin" eventually took them across the ocean where they traded notoriety with The Beatles during the middle sixties. While British groups rocked the States, the Beach Boys were sailing high on tours throughout Europe. The Beach Boys have been as influential as any group in forming their own unique sound and staying on the horizon even through some extremely dark times, "Help Me, Ronda" was originally released in 1965 on, "The Beach Boys Today" album, but was recorded almost immediately as single, "Help Me, Rhonda"....Rules of the game: take the last letter from the song title posted before yours to come up with the next song title. Words such as A, The, And, may be used - or not- as you need in coming up with the title. Allow someone to post between your posts - no posting twice consecutively. Be fast, fair, and don't get upset if you are buzzed, which happens if you post a song that someone else already posted, or you aren't following the rules of the game. If one letter is used up please go on to the next letter. (example: if all of the songs that start with e are used, go on to an f) .Honored Vets choice for the beginning song, "Help Me, Ronda". No matter how you spell it.... we are starting with an A....... http://noolmusic.com/youtube_videos/beach_boys_-_help_me_rhonda_-_music_video.php
