  • I don't like covers, no matter the song or the singer. I just favorited this. Make more with the kids and post them or else.

  • The only reason to have kids.

  • You motivated me to do this song, so I got my Ipad and laid down the tracks. No autotune either, however, I could have used it. Check it out. What kind of equipment are you using to record?

  • Loved it! Well done on the vocal arrangement.

  • I have to say you are amazing!

  • I like this version better than with the Beach Boys. Keep em coming!

  • WOW! That was awesome! You've got yourself some talented kids.

  • Wow! What else can I say. Wow! Thanks so much for sharing these videos with us.

  • Wow... this is very very very good!!!

  • dude you need to go pro with these guys and I dont mean bs pop showbiz crap, I mean just sing it. You're all feelin' it. The little guys need a bit of help with shaping and focus, but not much. Really nice work.

  • wow very nice ;)

  • top

  • Oh this is so good, I have kids who also sang in choirs and they all work so hard, well done guys, I miss singing with them now they are grown and moved on with their lives. This is one of my favourite songs and it reminds me of when I could sing with my kids

  • wow that was awesome, rivals the original! :D

  • Fantastic !

  • Great job from you and your boys! My my my, you've grown your own quartet! Future name- My Three Sons, Fourtunate Sons, -- whatever you choose -- it will be great. Be sure to let us know when it comes about!

  • HOW AWESOME!

  • your sons have talent! a little bit of technique improvement may be necessary but also once their voices mature a little bit they'll sing phenomenally!

  • I totally enjoyed all your voices and your sound! I have a senior trio and will try this song. Can it done in three part harmony?

  • Lovely - great boys!

  • Very well done guys you sound great...I love the beach boys.

  • Gorgeous Kids!!! your children have a great talent. I love music and i like singing a ca pella too! :)

  • What a blessed family, full of God's talents. Thank you

  • Four people are extremely jealous!! Well done Vance!!

  • VERY NICE, I actually tried to find an example to tell someone how NOT to do it, and was disappointed because this is really good!

  • @Benefit1970

    Why would you listen to a vance perry recording for an example of how NOT to sing??

  • @justie1220 Because that name doesn't mean anything to me, so I didn't know what to expect.

  • you guys are GREAT!

  • i mean BIG tears coming down now of happiness!

  • i wish i could comment on this but no in Internet connect here. just want to say the breadth and the depth of the vocal quality surpasses anything i could find on the beach boys doing this song. nice work!

  • ok - let wipe the tears from my eyes - and try to type... this is the most amazing version of this song i have heard yet! always trying to find a better version than the beach boys...your pitch, vocal quality and breadth of range left me in utter tears. well done boys. keep it up!!!

  • This really moved me because my two little guys are also very much into music, although in markedly different ways. Your family is incredible and their dedication to creating this work is admirable!!!

  • I just heard this through jbl monitors in my room and all I can say is bravo.

    Excellent job of a great tune .

  • I think that is so great that you got your boys to join in with you. You all sounded wonderful.

  • Very nice

  • Lovely

  • Im ready for go sleep x)

  • I love this song and your version of this! AMAZING

  • Nice work..fantastic!

  • Hey you guys are good, ill see jason in high school and band. :)

  • watch?v=Bt5vWPEIw8g

  • Hi, I'm an Italian boy...I have seen all your videos and you are great!I stayed in a choir of my city, The Sine Nomine Choir in Teramo (Abruzzo)  I would want to send you one of my partiture...it's one of my song for my girlfriend and I would want that you can sing for me if you want, so I can give to my girlfriend a special present from another state ;-) can I have your e-mail? so i can send you my partiture...

  • I have listened to both of ur covers of this song, and quiet honestly i much rather perfer this version over ur other. u and ur sons do an exilent job with this song. even only being 13 i love ur style and the songs u do, and this is the perfect version for me to replicate for an acapella group. honestly u will help us raise money for our chior and money for a personal guitar. so keep on, keepin on Vance. E.

  • Wow, I'm a massive Beach Boys fan and I was really ready to rip this to bits... however I listened to the whole rendition and good god you guys not only totally nailed it but you f**kin owned it. Bloomin' amazing, well done I have emailed this link to all my BB friends. I'd love to hear Brians thoughts on this version, I'm sure he'd love it. Well done, fantastic, incredible from James, Manchester, North West UK

  • NICE

  • nice jobs boys. god bless you dad

  • I just found this. It is FANTASTIC!! Well done guys. Not an easy song to pull of. Love what you have done with this wonderful song!!! 

  • LOVED IT :))

  • pretty cool. i just hope that you're not harsh to your sons as Murry Wilson was to the Beach Boys.

  • Very nicely done. What a great thing to do with your kids.

  • I would love to hear one with just your sons. Amazing what God gives to young hearts.

  • Totally cool!

  • wat the fuck

  • Father of the Year!!! Kinda makes me want kids. I was always afraid my future kids will hate every bit of music I'm into. The boys are like the Wilson brothers: Brian, Carl, Dennis. I'm sure the dad is nicer than Murray.

  • very well done! I'm doing a similar project to this right now, hope it turns out as good as yours!

  • that's beautiful man...you guys are great!

  • You have to be an incredibly proud Papa. What a joy to share in singing with your family! I remember the night my daughter and I were part of the back-up singers for Barry McGuire. It was hard to sing with such a big lump in my throat.

  • I don't think I will ever tire of pulling up this video to watch and listen to. Excellent production and a great spiritual experience.

  • Haha wow my dad used to play this song in the car when he would drive me home from pre school and would sing it to me sometimes when I was really little when he would give me a bath or when I was trying to fall asleep. Ha wow good memories. Everything was so simple and care free back then. But anyways you guys sounded really good!!

  • this brought tears to my eyes the song takes me back to once upon a time when life was so simple thanks for bringing back wonderful memories

  • WOW you guys are awesome how old are your sons? because for a yong age there awsome! and your not a bad singer your self!

  • favorite

  • You guys are great! Keep posting more videos like this one.

  • i use this song to put my son (18 months) to sleep every night. great job Vance

  • I'd love to hear it without the auto tuning. The human voice is so much more beautiful!

  • @brotherwill, I'm pretty sure Vance doesn't use autotuning. YouTube's MP3 compression, especially at standard quality, often makes things sound overly digitally processed, like autotuning also does.

    Try it at 480p or 720p quality and see if it still sounds that way to you.

  • @brotherwill You ARE hearing it without auto tune. I happen to know this man would not use that for showcasing his kids talents. Go listen to your loser pop songs of the current day. THOSE use auto tune. And just to set the record straight, auto tune IS a legit tool to use during recording. It's used to bring a certain note that a singer may not hit right, into correct pitch. But most pop artists these days CANT sing, so it used all over the place...........but it is NOT used here.

  • @romeokid69 I appreciate you're comment, but have to disagree. I don't think auto tune is a legit tool. Does almost every modern recording use it? Yes. Is it legit. No, its a cheat. Go back and listen to the Beatles and THE BEACH BOYS. You'll occasionally hear a flat note, but that's ok - they're human beings. I miss hearing human voices. Now, I will say that I am sure that this man and his boys are sweet people and didn't mean to insult them, but "wouldn't it be nice" without the auto tune?

  • Wow!

    Stunning!

  • OMG!!! That was wonderful!

  • Singinbarb- What chorus do you sing with? I'm a Sweet Adeline, too.

  • Your boys are precious and you sound like angels together :) I love musical families

  • A family to be very proud of. Well done guys!

  • How wonderful! What a great way for kids to learn to sing! Nice job, Dad! Wonderful voices, boys. Suggestion: getting the boys to smile as they sing will help their tone; it brightens the sound so much. -----from a Sweet Adeline

  • Great, great, great!

    Congratulations for you all :)

  • Not often that I get caught up in such things. Your work is very impressive. I've seen your work before, but didn't feel compelled to post until seeing you with your sons. I truly was overwhelmed. Excellent!!!

  • DUDE.... that is an AWESOME FATHER-SON project... you are an excellent father, and your boys have some very good vocals for their ages!

  • @cxzuiocej your right there the bomb absoulutely!!!!!

  • Praise Jesus, I saw the Beach Boys in 75 and it blesses me to see that you teach your boys such great music and beautiful harmony So much music today sounds like a 3 hour plane crash.Keep it up.

    Blessings,Warren Tibbs, Raymore Missouri

  • I've never heard this song before, but after watching this video, i know every single word. The harmonies are so pretty, i just sing along to every part. You're all amazingly talented. You're such and inspiration! When i have children, i hope they have as much passion for music as your sons do. I've watched this video a ton of times since i subscribed to your page. I wish i could download it and put it on my iPOD so i can listen to it all the time! <3 Thankyou for brightening my day :]

  • Great stuf!! Your boys seem to take after you very much. Keep the videos coming.

  • One of the best videos I've ever seen on YouTube. Not flashy or showy, just genuine talent and a genuinely sweet family connection between all of you shines through! Keep up the fantastic work!

  • Wow you guys are AMAZING(: It would be amazing if you all would make a cd and/or video! I would buy them! Vance, you and your boys are amazing!

  • Beyond awesome! Brian would be proud!

  • that's... fantastic! =)

  • Vance,

    You are so blessed with a very talented family. You and the boys should put out a CD or DVD. The boys are so talented. The apple does not fall far from the tree.

    As a retired entertainer, I know raw talent when I see it.

    God bless and keep up the good work.
