What Beach Boys Song Am I? Trivia Quiz

Answer: babe

"I'm not braggin' babe so don't put me down..."

Let's start with the most popular "Beach Boy" Brian 'Wilson. Brian was born in sunny California back in 1942. Probably looking at that California sun that brought along the tunes like "California Girls".
Brian formed the Beach Boys with the help of friends and family. The boys debuted in 1961 with their first hit "Surfin".

Answer: town

"But I've got the fastest set of wheels in town."

Dennis Wilson was part of the five original Beach Boys. Dennis was also born in California in 1944. Dennis was the drummer of the group. Dennis not only played the drums but experimented with singing also. Dennis scored a hit with "Do You Wanna Dance" in 1965. Dennis ventured off on his own in the early 70's.

Answer: Wings

"Cause if I had a set of wings man I know she could fly..."

Carl Wilson was the youngest of the three brothers. Carl played lead guitar for the Beach Boys. Carl stuck with the band for many years, but finally left the band in 1980 to work on his own material. Carl didn't strike oil and returned to the Beach Boys in 1982. Carl came back with the hit song "Kokomo" in the late 80's.

Answer: mill

"Just a little deuce coupe with a flat head mill..."

Mike Love was not only the main singer of the group, but he was also cousins with the Wilson boys. Mike was the only member that stuck with the group the entire time, through thick and thin. Mike played himself in a few episodes of "Full House" with John Stamos.

Answer: Thunderbird

"But she'll walk a Thunderbird like (she's) it's standin' still..."

Our final member of the Beach Boys was Alan Jardine. Alan was the unique one out of the group. He was only a friend and not related to the other boys. Alan helped form the Beach Boys in the beginning, but walked away only a year later. Brian Wilson asked him to re-think the situation and come back to the group. Luckily Alan did, or we would have never heard him sing "Help Me Rhonda".

Answer: 140

"She'll do a hundred and forty with the top end floored...

The Beach Boys had four number one singles in the United States. "I Get Around", "Help Me Rhonda", "Good Vibrations" and "Kokomo". My favorite was "Kokomo".
"Aruba, Jamaica ooo I wanna take you..."
Sounds good and warm to me!

Answer: four

"She's got a competition clutch with the four on the floor"

Only two albums from the Beach Boys became number one hits. Only "Concert" and "Endless Summer". The album "Concert" includes some of the songs, "California Girls", "Don't Worry Baby" and "Fun, Fun, Fun". I would have thought that the boys could have had so much fun on the beaches in California with the surfers, the girls and the bikinis.

Answer: kitten

"And she purrs like a kitten till the lake pipes roar..."

Bruce Johnston joined the group and replaced Brian Wilson in the middle 60's. Brian couldn't handle the pressure at that time.
Bruce also recorded an album on his own titled "Going Public" back in 1977. Bruce also guest starred on the television series "Full House".

Answer: Pink

"There's one more thing, I got the pink slip daddy..."

The Beach Boys were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988. Unfortunately Dennis Wilson never got to see this event take place. Dennis died due to a drowning incident back in 1983. Carl Wilson died in 1998 from cancer. Slowly, the group is disappearing, but their music will go on forever.

Answer: Little Deuce Coupe

"She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got..."

I really enjoyed putting this quiz together. I learned quite a bit about the Beach Boys in the process. I have never met this group of guys, but what a story they have. From the very beginning it seemed like they were a walking talking soap opera. It's amazing that they still captured the audience's around the world, with all the problems they encountered.

Thanks for playing, I hope you also learned something new.
