I still couldn't even hum Kokomo if you had a gun at my head. We Brits had the good sense to stop it hitting the top 20, even though it seemed to go platinum everywhere else in the world.
You were too busy making sure Take That and S Club were charting.

Let's not forget, Melcher was Love's main contributor to the Summer In Paradise album.
He truly was the fifth Beach Boy.

I KNOW WHAT I SAID.
Carl didn't really count.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Too early for those two! And S Club had some tasty pop songs.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Where the hell is Stamos? He's more than "the help" or a "fake Beach Boy." He played "Kokomo." Don't make me summon Mike to tell you how many copies it sold.
