Beach boys - Crocodile rock

[mauro0893]

I like this time period...

[BeatsBySwagg]

hahaha old titties ftw

[sgtBilko75]

OMG, they really looked as if they were coming from an All-You-Can-Eat buffet for seniors, somewhere in Florida. These guys were only in their early 40s but dressed themselves horribly.

Btw, they really marketed the success they had with Kokomo a few years earlier poorly. Just a couple B-side, put together with a few oldies and bundled with their hit single as an album... the best their record company could come up with.

[ClubViking63]

@sgtBilko75 I do not think they "dressed themselves" for this video. There must be some idea behind their costumes....I still have to figure it out....

[coolsweetgroovy]

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than Elton John The Beach Boys Forever

[FinallyunderstandU]

@coolsweetgroovy UR craaayzy my fren or you're joking... I saw Elton do this in concert in the mid 1970's, and the crowds were STILL singing Crocodile Rock while sitting bumper to bumper on the LA freeway on the way home.. you gotta see Elton live.. n at least he did not die if and when he saw Suzy dancing with the croc and what they did to his song, D... luvya, kiddo !!((=^.^=))

[coolsweetgroovy]

@FinallyunderstandU LOL CC

[laughsalot191]

the beach boys, one of my favorite artists of all time, covering crocodile rock, one of my favorite songs of all time. this video completes my life.

[Lilyan29]

this video is so shocking I don't know if I want to laugh or cry, so I think I'll just choke.

[jmborr]

Well they managed to turn an amazing song into a cheese stick

[chobeegirl95]

Its the beach boys how could you not love them.

[SenseiTatsuo]

nothing against the beach boys but elton john's version is much better^^

[orangeoranges11]

@SenseiTatsuo i prefer the beach boys for the vocals, but elton john's version is definitely superb

[alan14352]

never seen b4 ty



[peterp21]

@LuckyBiskuprocks Uh, remaking was the whole point. The song is off of an Elton John/Bernie Taupin tribute album.

[truthasfineprint]

god why does this exist

[mifrecords]

@truthasfineprint god only knows why this exists.

[pilipinofaze]

[mikemik712]

[Javier23gol]

I like it more than the original :)

[finlant]

WHOOOO :D

[relimes]

Woah why was Carl's beard almost all white?

[weirdguy75]

So was that Elton in green on the piano?

[1Sword9Of8Rock9]

after Brian Wilson, Al jardine was the best singer of the beach boys at least my opnion

[madcowz2020]

1991? gd

[spm82]

Any song by the Beach Boys sounds like a happy summer song... :)

[Destroyer220]

@spm82 IKR. Lol, every one of there songs sounds perfect for a happy, summer roadtrip in a convertible.

[maxletos]

So, in this video... they only ones from the original that remain are Brian Wilson (tall one), Carl Wilson (bearded one, RIP), Al Jardine (long haired) and Mike Love (brown coat)... I wonder who does the low-bass sound at the beginning and the end...

[deanomandrums]

@maxletos

No its Bruce , Carl , Al and Mike and yes the Bass vocal is by Mike - The high vocals are done by Adrian Baker

[maxletos]

@deanomandrums Thanks for the info, Bruce? I didn't know they had a member with such name...

[jbo110]

@maxletos Bruce Johnston. He joined the band in 1964 to replace Brian on tour so Brian could stay in the studio and work. Bruce effectively became the sixth Beach Boy. Bruce left in 1972, returned to the group in '79, and has remained since (Bruce and Mike are the only 'real' Beach Boys in the current touring band).

[gittahfiend]

Carl looks like he was made to participate in this at gunpoint by mike love.

[WildcatSuicide]

@gittahfiend LOLOLOLOLOL well that made me laugh for a good 5 minutes.

[SecretService80]

Watching this makes me feel stoned out of my mind.

[danardone]

Great find!

Thanks.

[markcruiser64]

I wish Brother Records would release a Beach Boys Videography spanning their entire career. Including solo songs. Many bands already have.

[haproductions]

better than the original!

[Mortthemoose]

Brilliant! love this video!

[fcirambo]

awesome.

[B1GJOE]

Where did you get this video? I've been looking all over and I can't find a place to buy it, is it on a special DVD or something?

[Gigix77]

@B1GJOE

if I remember correctly... I think he was from an old videotape (-:

[ClubViking63]

@B1GJOE This song is from the Elton John Tribute. The video was shown on MTV back then.
