“Wild Honey” #31 12/2/1967

From the LP of the same name, Mike Love of the Beach Boys wrote these lyrics with Stevie Wonder in mind. Even though Brian Wilson contributed to almost every song on the album, he took a major step back from his primary leadership role within the band. Their chart performance suffered as Brian fought his inner demons, detailed in the movie “Love And Mercy.”

One thing I'm wondering:
How come the Beach Boys never changed their namesake to something more grown-up
...like, say, the Shore Men, or something along that line.

WILD HONEY is far from being anything "beach oriented"
...and certainly not "boy-like" either.
