Surf's Up on BA is not bad at all. Its a fine production. The vocals from Meat are awesome. And i like the strings/orchestra in the background. And the guitarsolo is great. It's a different song than on BFG. So maybe we shouldn't compare. The only thing is maybe that it just misses a sensitive touch. But I agree, this is one of Jim's finest songs.
The reason somewhere here above about Jim's vocals for BFG is just one story. The other one is that Meat did not want to do vocals for an ordinary copy from Bat. And in my opnion thats the reason Meat did not sing it. How you could explain that he did vocal for Dead Ringer at the same time Jim did vocals for BFG?
And about Meat's vocals on Dead Ringer: okay, his voice is not at his best. But still he sings with so much emotion. So much better than the thing Jim did. More then you deserve, Gonna love her, Kill you, Read ém, well all these songs Meat did a great job.
Great songs, best writer, together with a great performer, the best performer. To me they are better than lennon and McCartney or anyone else.
