One of my favorite all time recordings. This song is sublime. Starts off with a bong hit, a suggestion of far-away-land, then progresses to a lush tropical vignette inside the head of the protagonist.

Underrated because of how simple the entire album is compared to what SMiLE was being hyped up to be, which makes this at the time a disappointment. However now we can look back and appreciate it for what it is, and not what it was supposed to be

I love the Smile/Smiley Smile projects, especially how loosely organized and tangential, yet beautifully and entirely psychedelic they are. It's very pleasant to the ears and imagination, but I've always been more partial towards the warm, cohesive feel of Pet Sounds... a little closer to Earth than most of the tracks on the Smile albums, if you know what I mean...

From an objective standpoint, what amazes me is how -- compared to almost other music released in 1967 -- this song sounds less Sixties and more at home with the twee scene of the late-Aughts; the way the Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Knows" sounds less of 1966 and more of 1999.

I agree. Artists change course, it's very common and nothing new. Smile was scrapped, it doesn't exist. The artist regrouped and with the help of the Boys produced a lo-fi album that is special. What would have really put Smiley Smile over the top is if H&V and GV had been reworked into lo-fi versions to match the rest of the album. It's still wonderful (wonderful, wonderful). That said, Brian's Smile, and the Smile Sessions are great releases - as are so many bootlegs and fan compilations - notice that neither one of the official releases is titled as Beach Boys Smile. The record that Brian intended to release in 1967 DOES NOT EXIST.

Horrible album. It marked then end of the group as the world moved on and left them behind to try and figure out what they were doing and where they were going next. This song perfectly captures why folks sailed on without the Beach Boys. Too bad because there would be some more GREAT music from Wild Honey through Holland and most people missed it all.

Smiley Smile would have been a better album if it didn't have the baggage of Smile, and if they had recorded lo-fi versions of Good Vibrations and Heroes & Villains. I can't get into Wild Honey, I like Friends a lot though.

Caz Gerald I’ve always thought that as well, the irony of Smiley Smiley is that the two best songs on the album are also the weak links. In terms of a semi-experimental lo-fi pop album, having two Phil Spector-esque Wall of Sound epics being the first songs on each respective side doesn’t flow as well. Of course that was in the era where 7” singles were what made the big money, so if it had been released a decade or so later when the 12” LP was the dominant medium in music it could’ve fared much better in terms of sales and reception
