Brian Wilson is often
credited with being the brain behind The Beach Boys. “True” History Tuesday scholarly researchers
actually uncovered that the true genius behind the scenes was The Creature from
the Black Lagoon. The Creature was
leading a listless existence after the success of his movies in the 1950s. He spent his days surfing, moaning,
staggering and eating hot dogs. Creature
met Brian Wilson at a hot dog stand.
Initially, Wilson was terrified, but then came to really respect the
Creature. Wilson talked to Creature
about his band. At that time, they were
called the Fish Faces. This was
insulting to The Creature who had dealt with a lot of bullying in the Black
Lagoon. He suggest Wilson’s band be
called The Beach Boys. Wilson was
impressed. As The Creature left their
meeting to enter the water and find a swamp, he promised to write some songs
for the band.
At their next hot dog
eating meeting, The Creature presented the following songs to Wilson: Surfin’ USA, Surfin Safari, Surfer Girl,
Little Deuce Coupe, Be True to Your School, In My Room, I Get Around, Help Me
Rhonda and California Girls. Wilson was ecstatic. He asked The Creature to join the band. Sadly, The Creature declined in favor of
continuing to surf, moan, stagger and eat hot dogs.
