The Laptop Sessions: “Disney Girls (1957)” (Beach Boys Acoustic Cover Song)

By Jim Fusco:

Welcome to the Laptop Sessions on your Friday night!  It’s another late night for us here, as we’ve just completed a grand game of Trivial Pursuit Genus III, which I won, of course.  But, just barely.  I’d love to have them play with my father, “The Old Quizzmaster”, as he’d probably beat us in one turn.

Tonight’s song is from The Beach Boys, whom I haven’t done a song from in quite some time.  Actually, tonight, I’ll be doing a song written by Bruce Johnston.  It’s clearly the best song he’s ever written: “Disney Girls (1957)”.  Yes, he did write “I Write The Songs” (one of the most famous songs of all time, sung by Barry Manilow), but I think this really is his best song.

I’ve always identified with this tune from the great “Surf’s Up” album.  I’ve always wished for “better” or more pure times.  I’ve always loved older music and even the vision of Christmastime in the 50s.  I think I gave the video my best Bruce tenor, and I think it’ll stand as one of my more ambitious videos.  I hope you enjoy my video tonight and I promise I’ll make up for this extremely short post next time!

    Hi Jim!
    First of all I’m saying that I love the version, you sing very well!
    I found your magnificent videos while looking for the chords of this song, but I do not know why it is very difficult to find them. I’m trying to get them out of the video but I have some difficulty. Could you put them next to the video? or tell me where I can find them (if you know).
    Thanks anyway.
    I love the song selection you have, great site!
