    Did John Stamos write the Beach Boys's song "Kokomo"?

    Question #73822. Asked by cornflower*. (Dec 27 06 10:34 PM)

    		No.

    Kokomo was written by Scott McKenzie, Terry Melcher, Mike Love and John Phillips.

    		According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Stamos, John Stamos did write it, which conflicts with Kokomo entry.

    		I don't see any credit to Stamos for a song by that name at allmusic.com

    This site also fails to credit Stamos as a writer. It does say, "Actor John Stamos played drums in the video. He is famous for his work on the TV show Full House and for his wife, actress Rebecca Romijn Stamos."

    		No. But he did tour as a guest drummer with the band. That song being a re-birth for the band.

    "Watch the made for TV movie The Beach Boys. At the very end of the movie they show them up on stage during a tour. (this is where they are giving written updates on what happened to everyone in the band)They flash on the drummer. He is in disguise, but it is John Stamos! (John Stamos has toured with the beach Boys, and even had them on Full House)He was not however touring with the band during the time period this was portraying.(1970's)."

    		McGruff, that would be John's ex-wife.

    I believe Rebecca will be getting married to lucky guy, Jerry O'Connell on Jan. 6, 2007.
