}} "Wonderful" is a song written by Brian Wilson and Van Dyke Parks for American rock band The Beach Boys. It was released on their 1967 album ''Smiley Smile'', but was attempted earlier for the ''Smile'' sessions. Wilson claims that he and Parks wrote the song along with "Heroes and Villains" "Cabin Essence" and "Surf's Up" in a giant sandbox with a piano in it that Wilson had moved into his living room. When released on ''Smiley Smile'', Parks' credit was omitted. The song has since been covered by a variety of artists. ==Composition== The song's title derives from a pet name Brian Wilson had for his wife Marilyn. It is the only ''Smile'' composition to refer to God by name, and the only love song of the album. Co-writer Van Dyke Parks observed, Author Andrew Hickey described its lyrics to be the story of a girl devoted to God and her parents who is thrown into emotional disarray after encountering a member of the opposite sex. Biographer Mark Dillon interpreted the song as the story of a young woman and her steadfast embrace of adolescence through the loss of her own virginity. He continues to describe the original version of the recording as "proto-psychedelic chamber pop". When it was remade for ''Smiley Smile'', one verse was omitted from its lyrics, it being replaced by a 35-second interlude described as "a left turn into a hash den" by Dillon. Containing the group's giggling and nonsense doo-wop chanting, the phrase "''don't think you're God''" can be heard in the mass of voices. Dillon suggested that this interlude represents the female protagonist's sexual awakening. 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「Wonderful (The Beach Boys song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
