This version has been bootlegged and might actually be from closer to 1976. The other version by the Beach Boys was performed "unplugged" on their 1989 variety show Endless Summer, with Brian and Mike sharing lead vocals.

However, according to Mark Linnett, who was present for the recording sessions for Brian's album, claims this is untrue and that the song was always going to be what "Rio Grande" is, from start to finish. | Child Is Father Of The Man | Mid-1966 | Besides part of this tune being sung over the end of the 1971 version of "Surf's Up," several takes of the original Smile-era recording exist on just about every Smile bootleg ever. |

| Desert Drive | Circa 1994-1996 | Originally an instrumental that expands on the main riff from "Salt Lake City," this track is on the bootlegs of Brian's infamous "Andy Paley Sessions." This song has been performed on Brian Wilson solo concert tours with lyrics about a drive into Las Vegas. |
| Dr. Tom | March 12, 1973 | This Al Jardine composition hasn't surfaced yet. | Don't Fight The Sea | July 1980 | Produced by Brian. |

| The Elements | Mid-1966 | Do I really need to get into this? The only part of "The Elements" that we know about for sure is "Fire." "Love To Say Da-Da" is most likely the "Water" segment (NOT "Cool, Cool Water," which is a remake of the tune from AFTER Smile was aborted). All we know about "Air" is that there was a piano piece. There are hints that "Vegetables" MIGHT be the "Earth" section. | 11th Bar Blues | Recorded. No other info is available. |
| Even Steven | April 1968 | Listed as an unreleased song in Surf's Up!, but actually a working title of "Busy Doin' Nothin'." |
| Everyone's In Love With You | November 1978 | A countrified version recorded for Country Love. |

| Everything I Touch Turns Into Tears | November 1978 | Mike Love solo, from Country Love. |
| Fire | November 1966 | No matter what anybody tells you, there is no track called "Mrs. O'Leary's Cow." The actual title of the piece is "Fire," PERIOD. Brian simply mentioned the infamous cow once when explaining the idea behind the "Fire" piece, and someone misinterpreted it as the actual title. Available on every Smile bootleg ever made and was released, with a voice-over and played over the "Good Vibrations" promo film, in the Vestron video The Beach Boys: An American Band. This track also allegedly surfaced on the Rolling Stone web site recently. | First Love | November 1978 | A Paul Fauerso composition recorded as the title track of an unreleased Mike Love solo album. |

| Frankie Avalon | circa 1994-1996 | A song recently unearthed on one of several Brian Wilson/Andy Paley bootlegs. | Free Fall | 1966-1967 | Rumored to be the "Air" section of "The Elements." NOT true -- this title was made up by Lewis Shiner in his novel Glimpses. |
| Friday Night | November 1966 | Not to be confused with the Pacific Ocean Blue track. This is how a Smile-era recording of the jazz-pop standard "I Wanna Be Around" was logged. According to a day-of-the-week calculation program I ran, it wasn't actually recorded on a Friday! Mistakenly titled "I'm In Great Shape" on a few of the more recent Smile bootlegs. | Funny Boy | December 1963 | Not much is known about this recording. Possibly performed by the Honeys. |
| Game Of Love | Fall 1967 | Recorded. No more information is available. | George Fell Into His French Horn | November 1966 | Sometimes listed simply as "George Fell," this odd track is actually a vignette of various sound experiments from the "Surf's Up" backing track sessions. A bootlegger provided the title of this track. |
| Get A Chance With You | Early 1963 | Written by Brian Wilson and Jan Berry, with Brian providing a backing vocal on this Jan and Dean recording. This is an early title for "Gonna Hustle You," which later became "The New Girl In School."

I've seen no other references to this version. |
| Glow, Crescent, Glow | January 1976, November 1978 | Mike Love solo, from First Love. | Go And Get That Girl | Fall 1977 | Written by Ed Tuleja and Ron Altbach, this track, featuring Carl on lead vocal, has been bootlegged numerous times. |

| Gold Rush | January 1976 | An unrecorded Al Jardine song. | Good News | Mid-1966 | We're pretty sure this was recorded, but further details are unavailable. |
| Good Time Mama | Mid-1966 | Ditto. | Grand Canyon | 1966-1967 | Rumored to be the "Earth" section of "The Elements." NOT true -- this title was made up by Lewis Shiner in his novel Glimpses. |
| Greenback Dollar | July 1980 | Lead vocal unrecorded. |
| Hard Time | August 1973 | Written by Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar |

| He's So Fine | January 1976 | |
| Heart And Soul | September 1965 | Recording during the Beach Boys' Party! sessions. A very small part of this can be heard at the beginning of "Barbara Ann" on the album. The complete version is on disc 4 of Sea of Tunes' Unsurpassed Masters Vol. 10. |

| Hey There Momma | 1976 or later | A version with lead vocals hasn't surfaced, but a version with background vocals is on several bootlegs under the erroneous titles of "Walkin'" and "Instrumental." Vocals by Al, Matt and Adam Jardine were rerecorded with new lyrics in Fall 1977 and released in 1998 on Ultimate Christmas under the title "I Saw Santa Rockin' 'Round the Christmas Tree." |
| Hold On | This was recorded. That's all the information available right now! | |
| Holidays | Mid-1966 | Appears on many Smile bootlegs under the incorrect titles of "Tones" and "Tune X." The tune listed as "Holidays" on these bootlegs is actually "Look." (One bootleg lists the tune under the odd title of "Pixies"!) An early Smile bootleg attempted to pass off Miles Davis's "Here Come De Honey Man" from his interpretation of Porgy and Bess as "Holidays"! (In my personal opinion, it really could pass as a Smile track if you didn't know any better!) |
| Holy Man and Slow Booze | February 12, 1975 | Dennis Wilson solo |
| Honda 55 | Circa 1964 | A short a capella track that's apparently an unused Honda jingle. This track, which resembles (and may be a re-write of) part of "All Dressed Up For School," was bootlegged on Unreleased Gems and Sea of Tunes' Live in Sacramento 1964 -- Second Show!. |

| I'm Dumb | Fall 1964 | Perhaps an early version of "Guess I'm Dumb"?? |
| I'm Going Your Way | Early 1969 | |
| I'm In Great Shape | Mid-1966 | The "Heroes And Villains" demo on the Endless Harmony soundtrack has a brief moment of Brian singing this song. There is a version in the vaults with guitar, drums, bass and piano (and possibly other instruments) with a sax playing the same melody line Brian sings on the demo. Besides the demo, though, "I'm In Great Shape" has not surfaced on bootlegs. Some bootlegs over the past few years mistakenly title "I Wanna Be Around" as "I'm In Great Shape." |
| I'm Waiting For The Day | Documentation has led people to believe that there was a version of this song copyrighted in 1964. However, in recent years it's been theorized that such a version doesn't exist and that the Pet Sounds version was just back-copyrighted by Murry Wilson for the illegal sale of the Sea of Tunes publishing catalog. | |

| It's A New Day | Mid-1971 | A Dennis Wilson/Daryl Dragon/Stanley Shapiro song that, according to Adam Webb's book Dumb Angel, was recorded in 1973 with Blondie Chaplin on lead vocal, intended to be used as a Brylcreem jingle. The story has it that Bristol-Meyers execs threatened to throw Dennis out of a 60-story window after the company heard the song's sales pitch. It's not known for sure whether a recording of this song actually exists. Recently the song was recorded from a sheet music source and was included on the fan tribute Net Sounds IV. |

(On a personal note, I've heard it, and it definitely sounds like Carl.) The title allegedly comes from sheet music of this song. |
