They might have hailed from a humble and sheltered beginning over in sunny California, but eventually The Beach Boys<\/a> redefined what you could put to tape with the groundbreaking Pet Sounds in 1966.<\/p>\n Three years later, they were navigating the alternate meaning of that statement by getting raunchy in the studio for their 1969 album track \u2018All I Want to Do\u2019. Released as the B-side to \u2018I Can Hear Music\u2019, you could be forgiven for thinking that the flipside of that record should be called \u2018I Can Hear Meg Ryan\u2019.<\/p>\n That being said, you can\u2019t say you weren\u2019t warned by the sun-loving gang as the album notes for 20\/20 clearly state: \u201cProduction Note: Turn up the volume on the fade for a brief X-rated surprise.\u201d And there you have it, the sounds of intercourse so blatantly exaggerated that you get the visceral, immersive impression that you\u2019re listening to two people acutely aware that they are in a recording studio making love for the purposes of an aural gimmick. <\/p>\n For all this snippet of lovemaking is fleeting \u2013 as many women might add, \u2018fittingly so\u2019 \u2013 it comes with a tangled and troublesome backstory. You see, while The Beach Boys might have initially stood aside the stream of counterculture rockers and their wild antics as a rather more wholesome, family gang, they soon wanted to wade in on the liberated zeitgeist. This led them into the world of California\u2019s LSD scene and some of the shady characters therein. <\/p>\n How Wilson met Manson<\/p>\n In April 1968, our groaning Lothario, Dennis Wilson, was simply cruising along a sunny Malibu street when he was thumbed down by two female hitchhikers. The names Patricia Krenwinkel and Ella Jo Bailey might be known to some of the many true crime fanatics around these days, as they were associates of Charles Manson. Wilson, of course, was unaware at the time. <\/p>\n It wasn\u2019t until he spotted the same duo hitchhiking once again, a few days later, that he would first hear that now infamous name. \u201cI told [the girls] about our involvement with the Maharishi,\u201d Wilson explained to the Record Mirror<\/a>, \u201cAnd they told me they too had a guru, a guy named Charlie [Manson] who\u2019d recently come out of jail after 12 years.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Dennis](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Dennis-Wilson-The-Beach-Boys-Far-Out-Magazine-F-1024x768.jpg\")
