Worst Song on Brian Wilson's "Adult Child"

I have all this on another boot, but among these, I'd go for Lines. Life is for the Living and Hey Little Tomboy are both so bad they're good, and I'm not going to count Deep Purple.

Yeah, I have these on an orange boot that has Landlocked as well.

Life
Is for the living
Don't sit around on your ass
Smokin' grass
That stuff went out a long time ago

Life
Is for the living
I thought you wanted to see
How it could be
When you're in shape and your head plugs in to
Life

Situps and pushups
A-do take energy
And so you run and you swim
At some gym
And then you will agree that

Life
Is for the living
Why don't you get up at eight
Feelin' so great
Cut out the sweets and start eating
Three times a day

Life
Is for the living
I thought you wanted to see
How it could be
When you're in shape and your head plugs in to
Life
Is for the living
I thought you wanted to see
How it could be
When you're in shape and your head plugs in to
Life
Is for the living
I thought you wanted to see
How it could be
When you're in shape and your head plugs in to
Life
Life
Liiiiiifffffeeee

A cigarette butt when you throw it in the water goes "ssst"
But the trick, but the trick is you shouldn't laugh
'Cause if you start laughin' you're just a coward
If you start laughin you're just a coward

Everybody wants to live just once
Everybody's got to see it that way
And see what your life
What your life
What your life can be

There's been songs about celebration
But if you ask me I can't see why
There's too much pain, too much pain in my heart now
Oo you're gonna have to prove it to me

Everybody wants to live just once
Everybody's got to see it that way
And see what your life
What your life
What your life can be

Now some people talkin' about ecology
Why don't somebody do somebody right now
And we're all chokin' on the end of our grief now
How could we all just let it slide by

Everybody wants to live just once
Everybody's got to see it that way
And see what your life
What your life
What your life can be

(it's really just the first verse of the previous one)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

oh I didn't see this. probably 'deep purple'

'still I dream of it' and 'it's over now' = classic material

On the SmileySmile.Net message board, there are two threads on this, one titled "adult/child - among the best music you've never heard?" and another "Adult Child - the worst BB album ever?"

The latter's opening post is hilarious:

"I'm about halfway through my journey to collect every recorded Beach Boys album, and I downloaded "Adult Child"...

GOOD... LORD.

They actually considered releasing this piece of crap?! We get a song about how we shouldn't "sit on our ass smoking grass"; we get the Beach Boys apparently planning gang-rape on a 'little tomboy' and insisting she shave her legs; we get a song that discusses stomach pumps and enemas; and we are informed that a cigarette butt, upon hitting water, goes "psssht".

I understand that Brian was deeply into his mental illness by this point, but he's not the only one to blame - the other Beach Boys are on there too. Kind of shocking that they would happily sing about a naked fat guy, yet they had severe reservations about "Smile.""

course, 'sweet insanity' makes this album look like a masterpiece
