[Dobleik]

From 0:00 at 3:00 is beautiful!!

[Alessio242424]

I'm Italian and i like so much this song, i think it could have a deep meaning... but what is it? Can someone explain me? Thanks :)

[StoptheClocksAndTurn]

@Alessio242424 Just a story of being stuck somewhere you don't want to be :)~

[BeachBoysJanDean1]

OMG! We sang this song in 1966 on stage at my High School chorus performance and I had a real hard time NOT sing this Beach Boys version.

[ilovelucyfan12]

Best verse ever, He threw out all my grits, then ate up all my corn.It's so great

[heroiniskindacool]

Brian Wilson was fat.

[bobshenix]

@heroiniskindacool

Not in 1966 he wasn't... and what the hell does that have to do with anything?

[dmcguire70]

@heroiniskindacool

YOU "Brian Wilson was fat'

What a stupid thing to say!

[DaveS12382]

@dmcguire70 you should be a major AIC fan then. But I doubt you've ever even done heroin and I've snorted and smoked it so go listen to Hendrix's are you experienced.........(you're not)

[1caveattemptor]

I took two rounds in my left leg and a 'whiff' in my right shoulder (Nha Be, Viet Nam) listening to this song......ouch

[fromthenorthwest]

@1caveattemptor Wow I have a lot of respect for you thanks fighting for the USA

[scoota111]

For some reason this song can always make me happy without fail.

[jameshalfpenny]

I wanna go home, I wanna go hoooome, Stretford's a shithole, I wanna go home

[HSECMAN]

this song, even today, is so beautiful in it's simple harmonies and musical structure, it never fails to choke me up every time.Curse you and thank you Brian!

[roncays]

[bbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrreee]

Heard this on the way to work this morning and thought about carrying on driving to find a party.

[edwdixon5]

Brian was a genius.

[1987hernan]

Grandaddy´s song "Broken Household.." has a slightly similar melody

[XxCheekyPaddyxX]

I love playing this on the piano, who knew the beach boys sang this =) Such a lovely melody <3

[gawrifort]

[Istuckonroof]

After rejecting me, this one girl threw out all my grits and then she took and she ate up all of my corn.

Great song....

[TheDarklordshop]

They did an amazing job with this song

[999duhast]

my fav beach boys song :-)

[mysterytrax]

Thank you Al Jardine for recommending doing this song.

Thanks Brian Wilson for your arranged vocal masterpiece and instrumental arrangement. (The bass lines, flutes, drums, guitars and glocken hits are over the top.) Everything and every ingredient is here in the making of a hit record.

Thanks for putting this on the PET SOUNDS ALBUM where it fit like a glove.

Thank You Alixx2 for this quality upload. 100% AWESOME!

[pollyanna1986]

I think that without this song my life wouldn't be the same. Love it, reminds me so much of my childhood.

[cousinted]

This song really speaks to me as I too had a bad experience where a sea cook threw out my grits and ate up all my corn

[JoshMac92]

@cousinted this makes me laugh so much haha

[rabidlemur]

@it was de grew ate all the grits

[morikahjo]

[skipplet]

@cousinted It's not as uncommon as you might think.

[OpsGlitchesBlack]

[SarahMeyers1000]

[DaKilla738]

The 60's was probably the most influential era of music in the history of the world!

[MrMatt44000]

Fantastic harmonies!! Nick

[MrBrudan]

the more I listen to this album the more I appreciate it

[cheriansrule]

I sing this is my head in school, yeah i'm bored :(

[simmo303]

The 60's! The Golden Age.

[oasis4ever92]

[ganimed1976]

The older I get, the more I begin to recognize the genius in their songs

[1rusticus]

thank you...great hartmut berlin wilmersdorf

[furrypartners]

The employees of Furrypartners enjoy sailing along to this song on our employee weekend getaways....

[heliot58]

That's Worst Trip, thank you for correcting my mistake.

[heliot58]

This song has such a searching, longing vibe. This song really got to me as a child growing up in the 60's. It seemed so full of meaning. I got the "worst rip" line much later in life.

[SteveRiese]

My parents got mad at me for singing along with this on a family trip back in the 1970's. All they heard was, "This is the worst trip..." I don't pay too much attention to the words of my kids' songs today...

[MrGustySpence]

why don't they go home?

[lyonslaforet]

I love humming this little gem!

[PacificRunaway]

God damn, I love this song..

[MR94RB1]

31 people listen to Rebecca Black

[Iantorchwood94]

I wanna go home...

[odiumimbues]

oh yea! this song is really good.

[GolliwoggMusic]

Golliwogg APPROVES of this song.

[Komet67]

@theDeckisStacked was always the big debate.....Beach Boys or the Beatles? completely different music, hard to compare them. if u lived near the ocean it was the Beach Boys.

[BeachBoysJanDean1]

We sang this song at a High School Chorus concert way back when this song was in the top 40. I had a hard time NOT doing the Beach Boys version.

[Kake947]

This song always used to play when we went to visit my late grandad, love you pops. Love this song too.

[hailbot666]

If it wasn't for goats, Beach Boys would have been a bunch of poser sissies. Hail Satan.

[clonecomanderfox]

@hailbot666 I thought Satan manifested himself as Goatse? Boy was I wrong.

[docjommd]

i haven't heard of this song for ages! i miss those turntable days. i miss our old records, those 45rpm's (is this correct?). this song was among those that i kept on playing when i was young, there in a remote province in the Philippines.

[ehta01]

@docjommd I still listen to them on LP in a remote province in North Carolina  :)

[RAYNEALAVERY]

@ehta01 Hey neighbor. From a not so remote province of NC

[Spulegence]

@docjommd We have most of the beach boys on records, and we have a record player :) Its great times.

[biggymack8]

like this? like the sheepdogs!

[agingstoner]

I weep for the death of music this original and vibrant.

[donnagabriele]

love ittt reminds me of my childhood my parents well my dad play this alot FAB !!

[televisionlighter]

what i dont get is how come pop bands dont expand their music like this anymore, like you dont see the fucking jonas brothers dropping acid and writing any actual music.

[emt1605]

A REAL boys band

[GyNICologe]

Ich bin eindeutig zu spät geboren... Hammer!

[LichtAufdemScheffel]

@GyNICologe Aber wir haben youtube ;-)

[patricksweeney85]

just moved into a terrible ghetto in the name of getting my masters degree. i've been witness to 2 stabbings and heard a shooting.... all in the name of education. this tune gets me through...

[GMNov]

4 young lads had a dream

To start up a football team

They had no money, no kits or even a ball

They still carried on

The Rangers were bo-oo-oorn

After 54 titles, we still follow on

[chad6258]

@GMNov Maribor

[GMNov]

So hoist up the standards high

Look up toward the sky

Remembering 4 lads who had an incredible dream

They still carried on

The Rangers were born yeah, yeah

After 54 titles we still follow on

[Peki1946]

Da kann die heutige musik nicht mithalten.

[simpson2221]

I wanna Go HOME :(

[bakelitetim]

They turn 3 simple cords into something much more special.

[Lehnsher]

Chills... just chills...

[plato107]

This is a traditional Bahamian song about a rowdy crew on a sponge-fishing boat (a sloop has one mast, with a mainsail and a jib). The lyrics first appeared in Carl Sandburg's The American Songbag (1927); the first known recording was made by music folklorist Alan Lomax on Cat Island, Bahamas in the mid-30s - Titled "Histe up the John B. Sail," it was sung by a group of guys hanging around on the dock and is barely recognizable. It has been covered many times over the years.

[LHcountryboy1]

@plato107 I did Not knows that thar bit of heestory. Thankee a bunch for it--{makes the song eveen better, iffin' that possible.} Let's all go a'sailin' for a while--- =D

[joetrez]

doesn't get any better than this

[spaceballz12345]

My grandfather was in the marines for 20 years. The last time I saw him, we had a beer together. I think it would be fun as hell if we had gotten into a bar fight like they describe in this song!

[crownbeatsjack]

I can't help but think of Vietnam and the 60's listening to this song.

[cutieclark0788]

Cory Cavin sent me here :)

[GDBillieJoeMikeTre]

I'm 17. Yes I know ur thinking "I don't care" but I've seen them 4 times, met them, LOVE them, and I love this music

[Nostalgico80]

Just plaing it now with m new uke :) .

[xtremejohnny69]

Me and my uncle used to drink to this song lol. He was a vietnam vet, I'm in the army now, when I get back home, we'll sit around, drink and talk soldier to soldier, man to man.

[chiefashley56]

@xtremejohnny69 ME AND MY UNCLE, SAME-SAME.

[78rohan]

Thanks Brian...

[tnguyen206]

[AmaterasuHusky]

Love the Beach Boys.

[frenchie2alfalfa]

[SuperMkell]

28 people who don't have a clue

[nortynigerichard1]

Bloody Brilliant song - Beach Boys the Best better than The Beatles etc

[TheCocky69]

@nortynigerichard1 They're good but they are NOT better then The Beatles.

[agingstoner]

@TheCocky69 Comparing the Beatles and the Beach Boys is like comparing Willie Mays to Mickey Mantle, as baseball fans are wont to do. At their peak the Beach Boys were certainly as accomplished as the Beatles, but unfortunately drugs and family problems did them in right after they released Pet Sounds, just as injuries did Mantle in after his greatest season.

[crownbeatsjack]

@nortynigerichard1

Don't go overboard, they don't hold a candle to The Beatles.

[FLAMMABLE1CE]

28 people were so high they missed the like button!

[shanehenning26]

great song

[hasjtrackers]

dem riddim is epik,TUNE!

[tubefluid]

[sionnyn]

Became the anthem of the 1971 British and Irish lions tour to New Zeeland - the first one we ever won! (most of the contingent were Welsh, and could sing, of course!)

[theGroveMan]

27 people have severe brain damage

[TheAdeSings]

I asked for some beach Boys' records when I was 7, in my twenties now and this is still my favourite track! Amazing :)

[morganflint001]

Wow. The Beach Boys are still good listening when the music nowadays is getting to be too much.

[GSHARAKSJ]

absolutely amazing 5 part harmony! Especially in the a capella section. Astonishing!

[jasonvoorhees285]

i love getting drunk to this song

[iloveudavemustaine]

@jasonvoorhees285 that's what i'm doing right now :)

[st0mpf3st]

this used to be my dad and his buddies' drinking song when he was my age. now it's me and my buddies' drinking song :)

[SupernaturalMiss123]

Family vacation to Crystal River, Florida... I'm 16 and I remember being 5 years old going to Florida and listening to The Beach Boys! I loved and still love every second fo it!

[MisterHoneydog]

This, ladies and gentlemen, is what you call a fucking masterpiece !

[BullshitsJohn]

Amazing, this song took less than 24 hours to change completely.

[joebombero1]

threw away all my grits?

[tedirelan]

@joebombero1 ya, i couldn't figure that out either.

[13thDrWho]

Can 4- part harmony EVER get better than this song? Note to those who may try.... NO !

It cannot, so don't even attempt it.

[mrbumppo]

spring break,1966,headed to Ft Lauderdale,listening to Sloop John B and Double Shot of my Baby's Love on the a.m. radio all the way down.Great times

[lneranger4]

@mrbumppo dont know about your service,but,its a great song.

[samiwistler]

[jasonvoorhees285]

[nofx1990ue]

[WetPooooopie]

I went into labor at a beach boys concert while this song was playing who can forget

[Perrygodmother]

@WetPooooopie LOL Help me nurse Rhonda I wanna go home. : )

[BullshitsJohn]

@WetPooooopie

Did you want to go home?

[999duhast]

@WetPooooopie your child obviously loved the song so much that he/she wanted to come out and join the party lol

[1caveattemptor]

@WetPooooopie I took two rounds in my left leg (Nha Be, Viet Nam) while listening to this song....ouch!

[waku1976]

@1caveattemptor

haha.....fucking 2 rounds (Viet the fuck Nam and United Shit State of Fucking America)

[1caveattemptor]

@waku1976 Actually America is not a State it is a group of states; 50 to be exact. If you are Euro clearly you ignore WWII, Lend Lease, the Marshal Plan and our rebuilding of Europe. If you are Asian, well enough said (you lost). "Viet the fuck fuck Nam," I suspect you are not one to have served in any military; from wherever you are, though in candor I appreciate your comment!!

[PoppaBlue59]

@1caveattemptor Glad you made it home. Thank you for your service to our country!

[DannelBoone]

@1caveattemptor thank you for your service.I was in the Navy 87 and 88.My uncle died in May 1970 outside da nang

[keyten4]

@WetPooooopie did you name your kid John?

[tornoofo17]

@WetPooooopie Did you name your kid Sloop?

[TheBrendadale]

@WetPooooopie What a wonderful memory!!! Every time you look at your child, you'll think of the Beach Boys!!!

[SmileySmileAM]

@WetPooooopie Really???? Thats crazy hahah
