It's no different to the original, go listen again... jeez[/QUOTE]

If you're saying that the Beach Boys original has an out of time intro like this, then you're simply wrong, Togg.

But you may be referring to something else...

The suggestion that this video is a(n) (badly) edited version of the full track/video seems to make the most sense: the intro is only 4 bars where it should be 8 (and an edit there could explain the timing problem); the verse after the middle section is missing.

However, I can't find anything anywhere that suggests this is anything other than the full version. Happy to be wrong though. (And it's not like I actually give a shit about this.)

It's not a timing problem they have simply missed off the first 4 bars that get repeated, it's not out of time, it's the same timing as the original just slightly shorter intro. but is certainly not out of time.

It absolutely is!

The 5th bar starts before the 4th has even finished, as it were, and, to compound that, it's at a slightly faster tempo than the preceding four bars were.

Are we hearing different things? And aren't you a drummer?!

Yeah, the timing is definitely off there.

Awful, these charity Children in Need things just make me cringe. But they raise lots of money so carry on.....

I quite liked it actually. Stevie Wonder was on there, nice.

You know, if this goes to No 1, I think that would make Brian the only person to have had a no 1 in the 70's, 80's, 90's 00's and 10's.
