"She's Goin' Bald" is a song from The Beach Boys' 1967 album, ''Smiley Smile''. Like many of the songs on that album, it has roots in the abandoned ''Smile'' album, as the short song "He Gives Speeches". Both compositions are built from the "How Dry I Am" progression. ==Background== "He Gives Speeches" was recorded on the same day as "Wonderful" for the abandoned ''Smile''. The style of its harmony vocals were recycled for "My Only Sunshine". After the collapse of ''Smile'', "He Gives Speeches" remained dormant. The song was later rewritten and rerecorded for ''Smiley Smile'' as "She's Goin' Bald" with new lyrics by Mike Love. In 1995, Brian Wilson said that it was only a coincidence that Love himself "was on his way to goin' bald then," and that the group did the song without being aware that he might have thought it was about him. Brian then called it "one of the funnier songs (Beach Boys ) ever done, very current for its time." In 1976, Dennis Wilson claimed: "I took that song in a very strange way, I thought it was more or less about oral sex. You know, () 'Get a job, sha na na na, sha na na na na. What a blow...' And I thought, Jesus, that's funny as shit — (voice ) 'Hey, it's about getting a blow job, huh huh huh.' Then Love recalled: "We were stoned out of our heads. We were laughing our arses off when we recorded that stuff." This version includes some unusual effects, including the novel use of an "Eltro Information Rate Changer" to raise the pitch of the group's vocals without affecting the tempo. An example of this obscure effect is present in the film ''2001: A Space Odyssey.'' When it came time to assemble the ''Smile'' material for ''Brian Wilson Presents Smile'' in 2004, Wilson passed on the song's inclusion. The Beach Boys' recording of "He Gives Speeches" was then issued as a bonus track on the CD version of ''The Smile Sessions'' in 2011. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「She's Goin' Bald」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
