The Beach Boys - Remember 'Walking in the Sand'

Track 8 of 12.

[jameslightfoot]

Somehow in a matter of seconds it goes from a weird electronic drum into a prog rock organ and then in to a 80s TV show theme sax solo. Genuinely this may be one of the most jarring intros to a song I've ever heard.

[electrickeithery]

In all these songs, there's pieces I enjoy, like Carl's singing, but then there's immediately something that takes me out of it, like the Banjo-Kazooie organ

"The arrangement [...] is so hot it's just a mindblower." -Mike Love, 1992

[steviecopeland]

Oh boy, Todd sure was right about that organ

[charlestonson]

Hearing Carl sing on this version of the song makes me really sad, he really gave 100% no matter what.

[davidnissim]

Only good part of this is Carl’s singing. No matter how bad The Beach Boys were in the 80s/90s, Carl’s voice still sounded amazing.

[Jaceblue]

I can get behind Carl Wilson's singing here, but I'm immediately taken out by Cinemax saxophone, the otherworldly organ, and the tinny drums.

[rustykilt]

To me the most underrated BB Album.. just magic.

[reddwood]

This never fails to give me a chuckle and I can forgive it’s existence for that reason alone… and only for that reason

[chrono]

Not even Carl's vocals can save this shit cover

[cole]

Y'all are tripping, this is the best track on the album. Carl's vocals are killer as always. Everyone's hating on the "REMEMBER" but that's literally in the original, just with Mike singing it in a lower octave. Maybe a hot take but I think this version's better than the Aerosmith version. It's way more inventive and isn't just an exact replica of the original

Been 35 years since I have heard it . Here because of the death of Mary Weiss . I never knew who sang the original . Nice memory to hear it again . I played Ms Weiss'version ax well . Great lyrics, ...RIP Ms Weiss .

[StupidScoot]

The only summer in paradise song that’s so bad it’s good

[trudymarshall]

Goodness it's my favourite Shangri-La s song!

[SihirbazTsar]

0:21 It sounds like Rouge the Bat's theme from the 4kids dub of Sonic X

[doxtops]

This is living proof that Mike Love is the true genius of the Beach Boys. Cousin Brian gets way too much credit

[CoasterMagicX]

God.... This might be one of the worst things the beach boys did... It takes so much effort to make this song bad

[robertofficial]

do you remember the zoo??? walking in the sand

[MCastleberry]

The sad thing is this is the last thing Carl did basically, and he sounds great isolated, but its surrounded by I'm too sexy drums, and circus music and porno saxophone

[johnnywayne]

There's a reason why we don't Remember the Beach Boys covering Remember. YIKES!
