Are you ok with Beach Boys covers?

[gherkin]

I sense a trap....

[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

No trap. https://youtu.be/spVzofjarAI?si=c3CtCKYyv6sW_INI

I like Beach Boys album covers, does that count?

[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

Sure!

[gherkin]

It's not my fave.

[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

They did a cover of "Mary, Did You Know?" I refuse to listen.

[gherkin]

Someone else just did one, too. I think it was Rhonda Vincent????????????2 I refused to listen to that, but I was tempted. I'll probably resist the Petersens's version, too.

Of the recent videos, this is the one that stands out for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_ewGJkTtIk

Very well suited for Katie's voice. Love the third "floor." Understated harmonies are lovely. The little mandolin riff is great, and the fiddle is always beautiful. Mom's bass is particularly on point in this one. I remember hearing this song back whenever it came out and never would have thought twice about it, but this version is definitely in my head.

I mean, the first two links were legit. If you didn't see the third one coming by this point, there's nobody to blame but you.

[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

It's possible I was thinking of posting "Never Gonna Give You Up" as a link in reply until I clicked on the last one.

Really? In 2023, Rick Rolls? What next, are you going to scrawl "Kilroy Was Here" all over town?

[gherkin]

The Ono Roll is timeless. And only sissies are afraid to keep using dumb jokes just because the kids don't know about them anymore.

[Doom]

How about because it is played out? Do you also say "groovy"?

[gherkin]

I like far out.

Sure. Why not?

[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

The Petersens should cover "Never Gonna Give You Up."

[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

Dude!

[gherkin]

The Petersens should cover "Never Gonna Give You Up."

That could just be crazy enough to work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 It would be groovy.
