I Get Around

Ah

Um, so I believe those vile automotive engine impressions done by The Medallions in Buick 59 and Speedin', I think these directly inspired Mike Love for what is becoming, uh, circulating in the fan community as one of the most disastrous performances of I Get Around ever given, which is on a live TV show, um, during the famous Around Round Get Around, I Get Around intro.

Yeah

Mike, once all the backing vocals comes in, decides to offer some automotive noises of his, of his own-

So, um, I shall insert that here.

This is a little treat for the listeners

I get around.

I get around.

[laughs] He, all the kinda songs that were written about automobiles and, and, you know, as it, they, they evolve through the, uh, the decades.

It was really kind of a cool little tape, and it ends with I Get Around.

Hmm.

Maybe that tape inspired Shut Down Volume 1 by Capital.

And just the disrespect that comes about because of that.

If I had played the drums on I Get Around, or if I had played the drums on When I Grow Up to Be a Man, I would want to have the world know that.

But for some reason, most people think Hal Blaine's playing the drums on those records.

Hal Blaine played the drums on So John B, you know, wouldn't it be nice? Good vibrations.

People hear that opening guitar thing and they think, oh, that's Glen Campbell.

It's not, that's Carl.

The guitar solo when I get around, it's Carl.

Do you think at that time, especially with Don't Worry Baby, I guess, with it being that nod to Spectre and written for him and some of the acts he was producing, do you think that feeds into it, that they thought they could only need those musicians to make that sound?
