I appreciate how they put the halos on Carl and Dennis in thie video, being south park I sort of expected something horrendous

Sounds like parts of California Girls, Little Deace Cup and Help me Ronda

I know this is an early version of Back Home, but it sounds like there are parts of another BB song stuck in there somewhere...just can't place it. Can anyone else hear it?

[worschtee1919]

@worschtee1919 I start noticing it when he sings "lookin' down on the world below"

Wow this was very amusing!

[colindominy]

Al's lead vocal is just fine. I really like this version which features completely differently lyrics.  It would've been even better, had it been the one & only Brian who was taking the lead vocal on this one. I had no idea that this song was conceived way back in 1970 during the Sunflower sessions. But it's GREAT !!

@colindominy I think "Back Home" was first conceived by Brian in 1963, not sure.

[colindominy]

@ericebryan : all the better, if it was created by Brian in '63. Seems that more & more rarities keep on appearing on YT, featuring either completely-unreleased BW gems from his very early days, or else songs from Brian that laid dormant for years before surfacing in some format or another ...

The beach boys in south park....priceless.
