  • Who is this song about and what happened... Sounds like he died racing cus of screaming tires and flashing fire

  • @dllnbms7 It's about James Dean, the famous young actor who died in a car crash. He was known as "the rebel without a cause", one of his movies.

  • I never connected this with John Kennedy or James Dean. I was just a stupid 13 y/o. but always loved the harmony and I still do. I do remember where I was when I heard about our presidents murder. Walking home from 8th grade and a kid in front of the library told me. I rushed home and woke up Mom and we put on TV.

    Genius just constantly comes out of my mouth when commenting on so many BB songs.--Brian Wilson.--

  • I also think so, like many many people. He is a genius.

    1:15-1:22. Each time I listen to this part, I stay with the opened mouth :O

  • Jejejeje a ellos les bastaban sus voces para hacer una obra maestra inigualable. Brian Wilson, un genio que con el album "Pet Sounds" espoleó a otro genio, Paul McCartney, a realizar el Sgto. Peppers.

    Y este a su vez espoleó a Jose y sus magníficos Overbeat!! jejejejejeje

  • The tune is," Their hearts were full of spring."

  • This was written by Bobby Troup the jazz pianist and composer of Route 66

  • @wendydale1 I was the same age as you then the principal made an announcement on the pa and some jerky guy starts talking about the school newspaper

  • Nice :-)

  • Fucking love James Dean and I cried.

  • damn cool harmony. but pet sounds is the ultimate album, yeah it wasn;t all surfin. brian wilson is a genius.

  • Interesting. When I started listening to this song, it was after JFK's assassination. I thought I had read back then that the BBs dedicated it to him. The defining part is, I now see, " Rebel without a cause" at the end.

  • This is about James Dean.
