And no computers. No autotune. Just tape and scissors. And patience, genius and weed.

That instrument making those haunted house ghost noises is a theremin, truly a unique and insane instrument. Very difficult to play well.

Thank you. Thank you for being you and sharing yourself with the world. You are a gift. You are getting me through some rough spells.

This knocked us for a loop when it was released Brian Wilson a genius.

This song is seriously a ridiculous amount of music genius distilled into a single track. This much pop magic, extraordinary attention to detail in every little sound, and weird experimentation that adds so much to the tune is the stuff of dreams and only happens once every few thousand musical careers.

I'm obsessed with the Beach Boys. Always have been. Brain Wilson was the most talented musician ever. I had SUCH a crush on his brother Dennis Wilson (the drummer) RIP... he died by drowning. 😢

Brian Wilson is a damn genius. This was all in his head and he made some beautiful music. I'm one of the biggest Beatles fan you'll ever meet (I've been to Liverpool) but Brian Wilson gave the greatest rock n roll band to ever live a good run for their money.

It makes me so happy to know that some younger people are keeping the classics alive and enjoying it. You da man Mr.V. we love you.

"I Get Around" and "Barbara Ann" are two you need to checkout!

Mr.Video, it's an experience to watch you react to songs that are very dynamic! If we, as an audience know where the song is going and what's about to change, watching your reactions to those changes is priceless! Stay as you are, please. You are putting out a LOT of material out there and growing, I just hope you don't get sick of this. Keep up the good work. 💪

This was released at a time when The Beach Boys were fading in popularity a little bit. The Beatles were still tearing up the charts and heavier music was starting to make its way into popular music. Then, this song went #1 and them Boys were back on top again...at least for a little bit.

Wouldn't it be nice for you to react too the Beach boys hit " Wouldn't it be nice"? A.s.a.p. Then we wouldn't have to wait so long! 🇨🇦😀

This is another group that shaped American rock. America was into beaches and bikinis! Teenage heaven!!!

Not a mover like Good Vibrations but... God Only Knows by The Beach Boys was called the greatest song ever written by Paul McCartney

Theramin totally amazing instrument.

That high-pitched sound in The Beach Boys' 1966 masterpiece "Good Vibrations" is always assumed to be a theremin. But it's not. It's actually an electrotheremin, invented by Paul Tanner. The theremin is played not by touching it, but by waving your hands between the 2 antenna on the machine to create pitch and volume.

"Spirit of America" was my first album. "Endless Summer" was my second. I'll echo what others have said here: Brian Wilson is a genius. Gotta react to "God Only Knows." IMHO, an absolutely perfect song.

Definitely feeling the good vibrations. If you want to turn up the dance more check out the B-52s "Rock Lobster".

The harmonies in this particular song are SO crazy good! Of course, you might be able to say that about ALL Beach Boys songs.

Hey there Mr.Video, The Beach Boys called the "USA Beatles", Brian Wilson is a very good friend of Paul McCartney, I grew up with all that good 60s music, Beach Boys, Beatles, BeeGees, Hollies, SmallFaces, Byrds etc. unforgettable music, my Beach Boys faves are "friends", "do it again" and "god only knows", try some, please, I like your "crazy" reactions, best to you from "Jogi", Germany, Berlin

A totally hip tune while you're at the beach, by the beach, or anywhere near the beach. Although that could be said about any Beach Boys song. Of course the sweet harmony is so cheerful and soothing. Warm wishes from San Diego🌞 😊✌

Absolutely beautiful tune. The genius of Wilson.

One rabbit hole you may want to try in the future......."The Doors" They have endless amount of song to enjoy, but just to name a few, try.....Roadhouse Blues, Riders of the storm, L.A Women, Love me Two Times, "The End"

The genius of Brian Wilson matched by the talents of the wonderful Carol Kaye (session bass player) These reactions get better and better. Have a great weekend. The next set of Beach Boys tracks Wouldn't it be nice (album, and live in London) Kokomo Barbara Ann God only knows

Hey, baby!!!! Surfing U.S.A. Little Duece Coupe!!!! Thank you!!!

I always say "different links" right along with you, every time, LOL

Their sideburn game was fieeeeeeeerce

I love how you were mesmerized by their fabulous harmonies... you have some great songs and melodies coming your way as you listen to more of the Beach Boys!!!! HUGS

Seeing your young man's journey makes this Grandma's heart sing. I say this knowing that the right path is not always the quickest path. Keep at it, be patient and flexible, and things will work out for you. Best wishes to you.

When i first heard this in 1966 i was 11 , i loved it. Still my fave song of all time of any artist. This solidified Brian Wilsons reputation as one of the great music minds.

Their harmonies were amazing

Please keep reacting to more Beach Boys especially Kokomo

Also, I think this is like an extended version of the song, there was a portion toward the end that sounded unfamiliar to me (and I've heard this song a lot).

I saw them in 1961 at a military base movie theater in Hawaii for 15 cents. Lip synching of course. Dion, Gene Pitney and the Shirelles were also there. I was 13.

I thought you fell asleep 😂 only for a second 😂

The boys are here. Check out the Thin Lizzy "The Boys are Back" to find out what happens when the boys get back in town.

The stuff looks good on the walls!

"I Get Around", "Kokomo"

I get around and california girls are bangers

Your dancing though! 🤣😂 Love it. My mom would dance around the living room to this when my sister and I were small. Probably still does every once in a while 🤣 She still has her record player and vinyl of all the greats from the late 50s to the late 80s.

I've lived long enough to see the old become new again. 😀

The Beach Boys started the California Love ❤️! 😎🌼🌞🌊🌊 The vibes are real! 🏄🏻‍♀️🏄🏻‍♂️🌊🌊😎

The very first “ Symphonic “ Pop record ever made...the genius of Brian Wilson

They used to call this surfer rock

This song is an absolute masterpiece.. As good as anything the Beatles ever put out.

Do “in my room” a whole different vibe.

Different kind of 'Beach' vibe: Dick Dale 'Misirlou'

Man, you HAVE to do "God Only Knows"! That's not only the most beautiful Beach Boys song, it's one of the most beautiful songs ever written. If this gave you chills, "God Only Knows" will blow your mind.

You are so open to new things and I can truly see you appreciate them. Good on ya!

There is their classic "Wipe Out" which was recorded in the 60's, which they later redid with the rappers The Fat Boys. My favorite Beach Boys song was recorded when they were much older called Kokomo

Sublime; genius. Also, laughed my friggin' arse off watching you reanimate after the quieter bits. Love ya Leo, you rock. I knew this song when I was 6 years old. OMG.

Brian is a weird beautiful genius. He made these amazing melodies while only having the use of one ear

AC/DC...DIRTY DEEDS

Fun Fact about the Beach Boys: They were a 60s band, but they stayed super-popular well into the 70s- every commercial break on TV seemed to have a spot for a K-Tel Records Beach Boys collection when I was a kid, and all the elementary school kids still listened to them. I've come to learn since that they even had a Saturday morning cartoon series in development. In 1980 & 81, they played the Capitol Mall in DC on the 4th of July. They were expected to do it again in 1983, but Secretery of the Interior James Watt intervened and banned rock music from the 4th of July celebrations because he felt it would draw an "undesirable element" to the Mall. He instead booked Wayne Newton to much public mockery. Who was more all-American than the Beach Boys? All their songs are about surfing, hot rods and girls... It got worse for Watt when Ronald Reagan revealed that he *liked* the Beach Boys, and presented Watt with a plaster trophy of a foot with a bullet hole in it.

Love the beach boys. Was at a concert for them when they yelled for the balcony to sing (I think sing) and I just remember a voice yelling back "there is no balcony". Great song and love your reactions as always. Always makes me smile.

This song was decades ahead of its time. It was pure genius for the 50s and would be at home in the 70s.

Thanks to my dad being a fan, I grew up listening to the Beach boys. Lots of nostalgia when I hear any of their songs.

That was awesome! I'm glad you closed your eyes and listened and enjoyed it.

Feel good music...this is my mom's era, but being born in 1971 I heard it plenty on the radio. Moody Blues, The Doors, Mamas and the Pappas...heck, just listen to the Woodstock soundtrack or watch the movie. Music transitioned from the 60's to the 70's sound...and that time was pure magic.

Yo dude I really enjoy watching your journey through music. You keep makin em I'll keep watchin em

Sweet! I love that you dig all kinds of music!! Your channel rocks!!!

Back in 1991 i took my then 10yr old son to a Beach Boy concert & it was so much fun & we will always remember. i get the chills too! 🙄😆😂

LOVE your reaction!!! That is a smooth groove. Starts off slow and then kicks right in gear and you're grooving hard. Never heard this version before .... wow ....

Thank you Leo! Making our days brighter, much love 😎

awesome song with the best harmonies in this classic band. thx for sharing Mr. Video!

The Beach Boys are just simply the sound of Summer for all time.

The instrument is a Theremin. The other place you may have heard it is the opening theme music from the original Star Trek series. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theremin

The first time I ever heard a Beastie Boys song on the radio I thought I heard the DJ say "Beach Boys." OMG! My reaction when they started playing "You Gotta Fight For Your Right..." I thought to myself "damn, what happened to the Beach Boys." Love them both. That was a few years ago, 1987 I was in the USMC and stationed in 29 Palms CA. THAT's how much it impacted me, I can remember exactly where I was. haha

Man you had me grinning from ear to ear seeing you dancing in the beginning. Made my whole day

I love the way Brian Wilson, a bassist himself features the legendary Bass Guitarist Carol Kay and puts the Bass on the top of the mix, using it as a lead instrument rather than hiding the Bass at the back of the mix hidden behind other instruments. When have access to a bassist as good as Carol Kaye, you use her as a featured player.

You should have WAY more followers! Your reactions are THE BEST! So many channels are just “yeah, I like it”, “it’s good”. You really get into it and enjoy what you are doing and provide hilarious commentary! 💜

Best weed song imo. The verses have such a gentle and soothing sound and the chorus just makes you smile.

You MUST listen to the Beach Boys "Sail On Sailor." My fave of all the Beach Boys... a surprisingly different sound from them. Love your reactions!!

Carl Wilson what a voice.. the vibration is good, hard to believe it's been so long. Crazy stuff out on that beach - Beautiful women tanning in the warmth of the sun, surfs up man, catch a wave and your sitting on top of the world. Love to another great reaction my friend.

C A L I F O R N I A. G I R L S. by The Beach Boys

Love The Beach Boys so much, when I was about 6 I got to see them in concert 😁

Beach Boys "Kokomo" is a MUST!!!

They're harmonies are genius...beautiful

the greatest song ever composed in the history of music.

I was only 9 y/o when this song came out, but I remember listening to it on my tiny transistor radio. I think I've seen the Beach Boys a dozen times when I became a big girl. (Billy Joel use to open for them in the '70s.) They were nice enough to learn and cover a song called "Carolina Girls" by General Johnson and The Chairman of the Board when they toured North and South Carolina, a "beach music" classic. Good memories.

You make me laugh - thank you so much for being so real

I remember seeing the Beach Boys on the Fourth of July many years ago. Baseball, hot dogs, Chevrolet's, long summer days in the July heat, and the Beach Boys. America!

Brian Wilson is one of the best song writers ever! Love your reaction!! 😂😂

I love this reaction. This took me from terrible morning to wanting to jump though the screen to dance along with you. Thank you. ❤️

This was '67 if I remember correctly. You gotta do a song called 409 by the Beach Boys it's about a car. Sloop John B & Little Deuce Coup are good ones too.

We only had one or two radio stations then, and this echoed through the day all day everyday. I still listen to it often

Thank you for making me laugh! You are a blessing in these times!! ❤️🎈❤️

Hello from Hawthorne California! Hometown of the beach boys!

You are ADORABLE!! And ALL the Beach Boys music is AWESOME!! LOVE SEEING YOU DANCE!! 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥

You put the GOOD in good vibrations! So cool!

You make me laugh so much. Thanks pal x

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻👍👍👍. Get it Mr. Video!!! I never get enough of tour reactions!!! Much love!!! ❤️

You are my favorite on youtube, you always bring smiles 😊

Two brothers, a cousin and a couple of kids down the block, sold more records than any other US band in history. Not bad. Glad to see the headphones. They are a must for classic rock.

Welcome to the 60's!!! Enjoy the ride!!!🎵🎼🎶💜🥳 Us ladies LOVED the ride with them!!!

I like your reactions. They are so close to my reactions... love those beach vibes

Such simple happy music. I love their music when I just want to remain in a good mood and dance around the house.💖

Much of this is perfect reaction to this song. Loved it!

Hi Leo! Please, please pretty please react to "Joker" by The Steve Miller Band! You will love it! I promise!!! Sending Lots of Love and Light from one of your loyal subs!

This was such a fun reaction by you! Bravo! 😀
