Elbow '63circa 1994-1996A song recently unearthed on one of several Brian Wilson/Andy Paley bootlegs.
The ElementsMid-1966Do 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 BluesRecorded. No other info is available.

Everything I Touch Turns Into TearsNovember 1978Mike Love solo, from Country Love.
FireNovember 1966No 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.

Frankie Avaloncirca 1994-1996A song recently unearthed on one of several Brian Wilson/Andy Paley bootlegs.
Free Fall1966-1967Rumored to be the "Air" section of "The Elements." NOT true -- this title was made up by Lewis Shiner in his novel Glimpses.
Friday NightNovember 1966Not 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 BoyDecember 1963Not much is known about this recording. Possibly performed by the Honeys.
Game Of LoveFall 1967Recorded. No more information is available.
George Fell Into His French HornNovember 1966Sometimes 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 YouEarly 1963Written 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."

Hey Good Lookin'November 1978Mike Love solo
Hey There Momma1976 or laterA 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 OnThis was recorded. That's all the information available right now!
HolidaysMid-1966Appears 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 BoozeFebruary 12, 1975Dennis Wilson solo
Honda 55Circa 1964A 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 Going Your WayEarly 1969
I'm In Great ShapeMid-1966The "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 DayDocumentation 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.
Indian WisdomMid-1966"Indian Wisdom" was written on a Smile-era tape box. As far as anybody can tell, nobody other than Brian and/or the Beach Boys has heard it.
InspirationMid-1966"Inspiration" was written on a Smile-era tape box. As far as anybody can tell, nobody other than Brian and/or the Beach Boys has heard it.

I Said A Prayer1981Allegedly from the "cocaine" sessions with Brian and Dennis; an early incarnation of what became "This Isn't Love."
I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa ClausFall 1977Beach Boys' children on vocals.
It's A New DayMid-1971A 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.

Many early '70's concert bootlegs have this song.
