Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which Beach Boy sang the lead vocal on their mega-hit "California Girls"?

Answer: Mike Love

"Well east coast girls are hip I really dig those styles they wear...." That was Mike Love. Mike is the first cousin of Brian, Carl, and Dennis Wilson. Mike's mother, and Murray Wilson were brother and sister.

2. Who sang the lead vocal on the #1 hit "Help Me Rhonda".

Answer: Al Jardine

It was Al Jardine. David Marks had already left the group, Bruce Johnston hadn't come into the group yet, and Carl played guitar, and sang backing vocals on this song.

3. Who sang the lead vocal on "Do You Wanna Dance"?

Answer: Dennis Wilson

This was one of Dennis's rare lead vocals, until his solo album "Pacific Ocean Blue". Philip Bardowell didn't join the group until 1996, but he's a friend of mine so I thought that I'd throw him into the mix.

4. The Beach Boys had a huge hit in 1965 with a song called "Barbara Ann". Which 60's surf star sang the lead falsetto on this? It's not a Beach Boy.

Answer: Dean Torrence

The correct answer is Dean Torrence from Jan and Dean. Jan Berry was the other half of Jan and Dean. Dick Dale was a guitar player, and Cory Wells was, and still is a member of Three Dog Night.

5. Who sang the lead vocal on "Caroline No"?

Answer: Brian Wilson

Brian was the ONLY vocal on this song from The "Pet Sounds" album.

6. Which Beach Boy member has a son who started to tour with the group in the late 80's, and took over the lead vocal on "Don't Worry Baby"?

Answer: Al Jardine

Al's son Matt Jardine joined the group in the late 80's and took on most of the falsetto vocals that Brian used to sing. Matt started touring with Dean Torrence of Jan and Dean in 2003 along with former Beach Boys, Gary Griffin on keyboards, and Philip Bardowell on guitar. They go by "Dean Torrence and the Surf City All-Stars. www.surfcityallstars.com

That was Carl's beautiful voice sweetly singing the opening line of "Good Vibrations".

Answer: The Fat Boys

The correct answer is The Fat Boys, who sang, or rapped, each verse, while The Beach Boys sang the chorus.

10. Who is the only original member of The Beach Boys still touring with the group as of 2006?

Answer: Mike Love

Mike Love still performs to this very day with The Beach Boys. Al Jardine quit the group shortly after Carl's death in 1998. Brian quit touring in the 60's. If you guessed Bruce Johnston then you are sort of right. Bruce still performs with Mike and The Beach Boys, but he was not an original member. He joined the group in the mid 60's. Mike has been there since the very beginning.
