 Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!) (Music)
comment
Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!) is the ninth studio album by The Beach Boys, released in 1965.It is their first album to feature Bruce Johnston, who joined as band's sixth member while it was being recorded. Johnston joined primarily to replace Glen Campbell as Brian Wilson's substitute for live performances, Brian having quit touring in December 1964.Along with The Beach Boys Today!, this album is musically seen as the immediate precursor to Pet Sounds, as Brian's song-writing, production and arrangement skills were clearly developing rapidly. Hits and fan favorites include "Girl Don't Tell Me", "Help Me, Rhonda", "California Girls", and "Let Him Run Wild".

Age-Progression Song: "Girl Don't Tell Me" and the bonus track "The Little Girl I Once Knew" both tell how the protagonist and the object of his desire have both grown older since they last saw each other. In both cases she no longer has interest for him.

List Song: "I'm Bugged at My Ol' Man" is a list of all the stuff that the narrator finds irritating about his father. "Amusement Parks, U.S.A." namechecks several real-life American amusement parks of the era and lists all the fun activities that can be pursued therein.

comment
Archnemesis Dad: The father in "I'm Bugged at My Old Man" certainly has a tyrannical streak to him. At first he seems like a typical strict father, since he makes the protagonist stay in his room and he is mad when he comes in a little late. But as the song progresses he almost seems like a dictator. He sells his son's surfboard, cuts off his hair in his sleep, tacks up boards on his window so he can't look outside, jerks his phone out of the wall when his son tries to call up his girlfriend, steals his radio and, to top it all off, he is out eating steak, while his son just gets some breadcrumbs and a little glass of water for dinner! Though the last line does turn the tables as it reveals that all this might just be a severe punishment for the fact that the boy got suspended from school.

Rearrange the Song: "Help Me, Rhonda" keeps the same basic arrangement as the take on The Beach Boys Today!, but tightens things up and sounds way more polished, with the high harmonies on the chorus and the guitar solo being the major changes.

Break-Up Song
 Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!) (Music) / int_b28a8d0a
comment
Break-Up Song: "Help Me, Rhonda" is a quite unusual example. In the song a boy is still undergoing the effect of his previous broken relationship, but at the same time already has a girl, Rhonda, whom he fancies now. Yet, since he can't get his previous girl out of his head he asks Rhonda to help him get over her. More straightforward is "Let Him Run Wild", where the protagonist warns his former girlfriend in advance that her new partner is basically a jerk. "Girl Don't Tell Me" is about a girl who doesn't answer the letters of her boyfriend anymore.

comment
In the Style of: "Girl Don't Tell Me" sounds very much like The Beatles' song "Ticket to Ride" from Help!. It's likely that the former, which was recorded on April 30, 1965, was influenced by the latter, which had been released on April 9 of that year. "You're So Good to Me" sounds a lot like a Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons song.

 Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!) (Music) / int_e9f517e1
comment
Artistic License – Geography: "Salt Lake City", where the protagonist feels really excited of going there, because "it got the grooviest kids" who "talk so cool". There is also a "number one radio station", a "park near the city"note Lagoon, the amusement park in question, is still around and is still a popular attraction, "all kinds of girls", "sun" and in "winter time the skiing is great". In reality, Salt Lake City is not exactly the most exciting place to hang around when you're young, so the protagonist in this song might be exaggerating a bit. The song is actually enduringly popular in Salt Lake City itself, partly because of the novelty of a famous group singing about the city, but also partly because the song does come off as an amusingly backhanded tribute, with the guys struggling to come up with two minutes-worth of things to say about Salt Lake. The Epic Riff doesn't hurt either.
