The Beach Boys - Drip Drop (Teardrops On My Bed)

[@sallybrown4947]

This is Brian's answer to the Beatles "Why Don't we do it in the Road!"

[@chrismedeiros3201]

I love how Brian rocks this song. And Proud Mary as well.

[@KiwiDaOttoman]

This is priceless, hearing Brian be ruthless and oblivious is hilarious not letting the music contain him, but adding himself into the music, I love it XD

[@bengabeneedalife]

This song would have been a hit. This should have been the closing song on the Love You album.

[@febbecool]

It really should be!

[@Blend42]

Except it was recorded in October 1978, in the midst of LA Light sessions, over 18 months after Love You was assembled.

[@notanotherjamesmurphy5574]

that woulda fit well on Love You

[@Lridesagain]

Now that’s what I call ‘Rock’n Roll’ !!! Woof! Woof!!!

[@Christopher-f9m7f]

Drifters and Dion had great versions as well, great song And everything the beach Boys touch is golden!!

[@mstaradawn]

I think this is awesome and it shows how awesome Brian is .

[@Azzronika]

Haha love brians crazy recordings

[@cultofbunny]

Damn, the guy rocks this one out about as hard as he can!! I laugh every time he yells the f word!😄 I keep hearing him say he's making a rock album and it's like sand thru my fingers...or his toes the way the years go by instead. Remember the Jeff Beck thing? Oh well, this song rocks enough for me. Thanks for posting it. Love you Brian!

[@crispwhite9068]

What happened with Jeff Beck?

[@danielfleming9630]

@@crispwhite9068in 2013 or so, it was announced that Brian was working on a collaborative album with Jeff Beck, but they rushed them to tour without finishing the album and I think it kinda got shelved? Apparently a decent amount of it was done but it’s never surfaced to my knowledge

There's something very Harry Nilsson about this

How??

brilliant. it should have or should be released. :-D

[@user-nn4ex4ot8h]

Love this!! Where can I find more like this....

[@Blend42]

We Gotta Groove has a similar feel (but not finished) kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6Xdd3mclM1rr7s . A lot of Brian's production work from 15 Big Ones till around 1980 has a similar feel (but he didn't produce as much after Adult Child (1977) was shelved). Listen to the "Brian's back" trilogy for starters especially Beach Boys Love You.

[@jerrysmith2354]

if youre still looking, check out Rolling Up To Heaven (Brian's Tune)

[@vrzM8]

I think a bit of reading between the lines suggests that he deliberately abandoned and destroyed his voice out of shame and spite

[@danielfleming9630]

It is interesting to note that he wanted to basically quit the band by this point and felt a bit like a prisoner whose worth was tied to his ability to keep producing hits. So it’s not a stretch to think that this contributed

[@JSL79]

Wow! Brian goes punk! And says mother f_ _ka's about three times.:) This is the type of Brian that must've scared away both Iggy Pop and Alice Cooper by having them repeatedly sing Shortenin Bread with him. And I also believe Brian said to them it was the greatest song ever composed.

[@floraline7153]

He also has said Surf's Up and Be My Baby were the greatest. It keeps changing. Naturally, that's how an extremely artistic mind works. I would loved to have been a fly on the wall at those parties, though.

[@neonfroot]

this is more bluesy than punk.

[@jumperontheline]

​@@neonfrootHe's playing 12 bar blues. The genre is RnB (rhythm and blues) I presume the comments calling it punk are from people too young to remember!

[@magictransistorradio4933]

punk rock

[@jumperontheline]

It's not punk or rock. R&B - rhythm and blues

[@kookadams85]

Punk is rock (r&b) !!

[@magictransistorradio4933]

It's performed in a punk rock way! But I guess r&b vocalists sing this way too sometimes.

[@kookadams85]

fuck yeah!

[@beofie]

Haha, this is so funny!

[@peterpanassow7814]

Awesome!!!

What would Dion think?

Fuck yeah!!!!

[@rangergrrrl]

Where oh where did you get this? Wow.

[@jimmypm]

This an old Dion song. Sounds like they were having fun like on the 'Party' album.

[@Raymond-d2l7n]

Say what you like about Dr Eugene Landy. He got Brian outta bed and forced him to deal with reality. And this is the result, a reinvigorated " hit man" clawing his way back to harmony.

[@paulstewart8218]

ouchhhh...and i adore brian

[@hellomcflyy]

punk!

[@jumperontheline]

It's R&B - rhythm and blues. Nothing punk about it whatsoever.

​@@danielfleming9630What do you mean? People had been playing and singing like this for many years before punk came along!

it sounds like ‘Somebody’s Baby’ by Jackson Browne

[@kookadams85]

You sure this was nt recorded in '76?

[@Blend42]

Yes it was recorded on the 19th of October at Western Studio in the midst of LA Light sessions.

Sounds like Ozzy lol

[@delachambrearnaud1291]

version de dion di mucci . ce monde is mine .

[@somuch2tellu]

Ozark, anyone?

[@jimjones6901]

Finished that just a few weeks ago. 99% sure it was the Dion version though, so if this version sounds unlike that one then that's why.

[@brucehirsch909]

Nice for us devoted Beach Boys and Brian fans but not exactly a great effort. Respectfully submitted.

[@runnersdialzero1244]

I think it's a brilliant effort.

[@neonfroot]

This is Brian Wilson trying out a Rolling Stones style of rock.

[@burlingtonbill1]

This is THE worst BW song that I've ever heard.

[@Providence..]

I think you're being a bit hyperbolic, there's much worse. I personally don't think this is too bad for a demo, nice mellow punk.

[@table1552]

​@@Providence..It's R&B. Surely mellow punk is an oxymoron ...

The rawness in this recording is what makes it rock so fucking hard.
