"No actually not... Anyway, here's Ding Dang."

[@danielfleming9630]

I can’t tell if he’s trolling the interviewer or if he really just genuinely wanted to play it because he loves it

[@yansa1966]

its both lmao

[@lawrence142002]

The man once told an interviewer that his favorite movie was Norbit. You tell me.

[@SeahorsesJay]

I just recorded a 15 minute analysis of Love You on my channel and I talk about Ding Dang and Shortnin Bread and all the whacky stories that surround it - the man was utterly besotted by it, genuinely 😄

[@Alex-vd1ir]

Bolth

[@hingusdingus3451]

He loves it, it’s easy for him to play, that’s why he got so obsessed with shortnin bread to the point he played it for hours at a time, it’s a litemotif he’s come back to time and time again. He literally got it stuck in his head.

[@jadenwaz9585]

“No ❤ anyway here’s Ding Dang”

[@jlee2383]

“No, actually not!” 😂 Brian can be hilarious when he wants

[@lohnjennon4886]

I love how long Brian’s obsession with this song continued

[@infectioussneeze9099]

Lohn, Brian model when?

[@funcamp_ltd.]

@@infectioussneeze9099 lmao we're still waiting lohn

[@luisalonsoecheverria]

More like his obsession with “Shortenin’ Bread”.

It's Shortnin' Bread

[@raccoonmaster64-bp7go]

RIGHT

[@meatwoodflacmedia]

This is the joke answer that a beach boys fan would give

[@mikeytrains1]

I am in the camp of about 2 people who genuinely are just lovingly obsessed with this song

[@MrChinaski84]

Someday we’re going to find out that Brian is a mod on r/beachboyscirclejerk

[@jpollackauthor]

I am fucking crying from laughing at this.

[@andybaker5624]

Beyond brilliant

[@curfimo9793]

He played something alright

[@kiana653]

this feels like an scene from the office

MAMAS LITTLE BABY LOVES SHORTNIN SHORTNIN

[@chrismedeiros3201]

Ha! Answered totally in a genius's type of humor.

[@camioso]

This is obviously Shortenin' Bread

[@SeahorsesJay]

Ding Dang and Shortnin Bread are synonymous, use it interchangeably 😄

[@raccoonmaster64-bp7go]

dude exactly

[@camioso]

@@SeahorsesJay No..

[@superstimulatedminotaur3681]

His band must be siiiiick of this song by now haha

[@voltsu]

I think he just wanted to play Ding Dang the whole time and lied about that answer. But Ding Dang is a very spiritual song.

[@voltsu]

Footnotes: I know this for a fact because you can see he initially put his hands on keys to play Ding Dang before the question was asked.

[@Alrights600]

Do you know the chords? ​@@voltsu

[@lizanne6187]

Ah ding dang. My favourite brian wilson song of all time

[@Garbageman28]

This is the punchline to the shaggy dog story of shortnin’ bread.

[@you3396]

I'M FUCKING DEAD

[@markstevenson6635]

Sorry to hear of your copulatory demise. Bleak future?

[@adamderx6678]

How have I never seen this?!? Sooooo good! 😂

[@MidosujiSen]

Norbit

[@raccoonmaster64-bp7go]

*shortnin bread

[@Alrights600]

Does anyone know the chords/baseline he's playing???

[@Crow-jg4sj]

😂

[@PriestMelchizedek]

This sounds more like the Brian Wilson/Rob Wasserman/Sam Phillips collaboration called Fantasy Is Reality / Bells Of Madness. kzbin.info/www/bejne/poq5k39vedyVp5Y

[@adamderx6678]

There’s numerous songs that he used this riff for. It’s all based on his obsession with writing the perfect version of Shortenin Bread.

[@impalaman9707]

I don't get the fascination people have with this song. I find the song "Pet Sounds" from the album of the same name far more interesting

[@voltsu]

I didn't get it either man, but for some unknown reason, this is the shit I've grown to love. Keep in mind, I still absolutely love every song on Pet Sounds, but the stark contrast of Ding Dang to Let's Go Away For Awhile is hilarious to me.

[@rangergrrrl]

The fascination isn't with the song. The fascination is BWs fascination with the song...

[@luisalonsoecheverria]

⁠@@rangergrrrlMore like Brian’s fascination with “Shortenin’ Bread”.

[@freddyrichards878]

It’s a catchy little song

[@mikeytrains1]

The *song* "Pet Sounds" and "Let's Go Away For a While" are getting the praise they deserve imho as someone who puts them as my favorite Beach Boys instrumentals but Ding Dang is like a fucking disease, that shit's got a hold and I love it

[@billmilligan7272]

"Is there a piece of music that makes you feel very spiritual, that you really love to play... that means something to you more than anything?" "Yeah, Yakety Sax". Also, why does this extremely low view count video show up in my recommended when I care little about Brian Wilson and even less about interviews or spiritual music?

[@voltsu]

You've been Ding Dang'd, don't question it

[@Jonkstrap]

why you commenting then?

[@DenkyManner]

to annoy you egg into giving your unsolicited opinions

[@aidenrinish7621]

It sounds nothing like ding dang though 🧐

[@madcap_9539]

It's Shortenin Bread
