@legendornothing I’m guessing the people who don’t know it are too young and the people who dislike it are too pretentious (me) or too old to not just compare it to earlier Beach Boys music they prefer.
My favorite Beach Boys song, also my favorite video of all time. The most awkward two minutes and forty-four seconds you’ll ever see. Wait until 1:45 when the guy on the end thinks about “dancing”
@Omehgawd I just saw Brian Wilson and Al Jardine and company perform pet sounds at the Ryman. Believe it or not, Brian Wilson is a way more awkward performer now.
Agreed. I remember jamming to that in my 73 ford f200.
No. It wasn’t.
Yeah, it was.
Did anyone else notice how many had no idea what song it was referring to? I feel old.
@emt305 it’s a song from the 80s that was in Titanic I think
I only like it because it’s one of the first actual songs I learned to play on guitar
@emt305 Maybe you’re too young?

@frozenokie Yeah basically
yeah, no it’ snot… lol my husband thinks it’s a good song too…sigh
have had this song stuck in my head, for a couple days now!! lol not a popular song, but a cool ditty…
@mick Well, if you want to keep it PG, then yes, it was “snot”.
Good lord do you kokomo freaks have to stand up to taste?
I love Kokomo.
@Barney Aside from the automotive heritage museum, what’s there?
I dunno.
@cranky1950 You’re cranky.
No. Not now, not in the future. Not in 1988. Not ever. No how. No way.
@MrMark I thought “Kokomo” was already as terrible as a song could be. I stand corrected.
No. No it’s not. It’s terrible, and it’s even worse when you consider the legacy of the band.
I just learned right now that John Phillips had a hand in writing it! I was on the fence before but now I can happily say I hate it.
@slydon and infamous Manson-escaper Terry Melcher, too, IIRC.
Oh! Did I say Kokomo?!
I meant Kosovo.

@woman Hehe! It’s actually not hard to imagine that!
@Omehgawd That’s not dancing, he had to go to the bathroom.
