I believe the Beach Boys version is the original, and it was also just them goofing off in the studio.

Sloop John B, though, was a cover.

I took the "Todd Todd Todd Todd Todd T. Squirrel" to mean that squirrel parents are enthusiastic but not very imaginative when it comes to names.

I read it as Beef making fun of Todd's stutter, only not very well.

In other words, I agree with "sensate (posts:2)"

I hear it a special way in my head.
I don't know how I'd even begind to describe it, but it's just, to me, Beef exclaiming how surprised he is to see Todd. Todd Todd Todd Todd... Todd T. Squirrel!

Rationally I tend to agree with the stuttering explanation, even though it does seem a little harsher than Beef usually is.  Although, who knows.  Perhaps multiple repeat given names are a unique factor in squirrel culture.

And I would be remiss if I did not mention how floored I was by Jough's BEAUTIFUL catch with the BarbaraAnn thing.  I couldn't catch my breath there for a minute.

 Perhaps Todd sold his for an assload of nuts or something.


Todd sold his soul for a bitchin' spoiler to put on the back of his van.

Heh heh!  Contextual continuity for post number 666!

Wasn't the Beach Boys version a cover? Was the original hard to understand like that?


Yes, it was originally done by The Regents.  The Beach Boys also made it a hit, but some time later though.  It was also covered by The Who.  I like their version the best.

Huh.  It says it was written by Brian Wilson on the CD ("The Beach Boys Party").  But sure enough, it's the Regents, and in the Doo Wop Boxed Set, too.  From 1954, which would pre-date the Beach Boys (not completely, but certainly would pre-date the Party album).

Maybe that's just Todd's full name. Or his full name is Todd Todd Squirrel and everybody goofs on him a little for having the same name twice.

My father's Big Retirement Dream is to head to the hills and establish a all doo-wop pirate radio station. You can't go wrong with doo-wop. I guess.

Shouldn't he have a "Suckin' Out My Soul Bought This Spoiler" sticker or something?

Anyway, Zartan, your father has the best life dream ever. In this time of life reevaluation (read: sophomore grade panic), running a pirate doo-wop station is increasingly pleasant as a life concept.
