Unsurprising that the song titles would be unfamiliar. Nothing from the 1971 Surf’s Up album has been played on the radio, in the grocery store or on the elevator in the last 53 years. Conversely, the hits from the 1962-68 period have been inescapable for the last half century. The title track was actually written and partially completed in the ‘60s golden age, but it sat on the shelf with most of the rest of the tracks from Brian Wilson’s legendary unfinished “Smile” album, though Brian played a solo piano rendition on a TV show that aired in 1967.

One of the funny aspects of What’s Up,Doc? (1972) is whenever anyone steps in or out of an elevator, the Muzak speaker is always playing one of a dozen different Cole Porter classics.
