Here's spoilers for you... he definitely references...

* "Our Prayer"
* "Wind Chimes"
* "I'm In Great Shape"
* "Roll Plymouth Rock" (aka "Do You Like Worms")
* "Good Vibrations"
* and possibly "God Only Knows".

I *LOVE* this song!!! Brilliant all the way!

I really wish Al hadn't auto-tuned his harmony vocals in this track. I know it's difficult to match the precision the Beach Boys had when they sang, but auto-tuned vocals are very jarring to me.

To be fair, Brian's "Smile" was heavily auto-tuned. Listen to him sing that live... it's really sad. He can't hit the notes like on the album.

Well, anyway, everyone should definitely find a copy of "Smile" before they hear this song, if they haven't already. It'll make the song a LOT funnier!

I'd also recommend Pet Sounds...or the Sounds of Summer compilation if you want a total all-around Beach Boys sampler.

The only non-Smile song I hear is "God Only Knows", which the first verse resembles.

The "Smile" songs that are definitely in there are...

* "Our Prayer" - the acapella intro
* "Wind Chimes" - 'ba-ba-ba-ba, my pancreas' and the little instrumental break in the middle of that section
* "Roll Plymouth Rock" - 'ooga-chaka' backing vocals, and the 'woo-woo-woo woooooo' part
* "I'm In Great Shape" - 'my pancreas attracts every other...' section
* "Good Vibrations" - the theremin-type noise in the first verse, not to mention the whole 'flow, flow, flow pancreatic juice' section

Actually, I take it back - the "my pancreas attracts..." part, including the "woo woo woo" after it, is a parody of "Heroes And Villains".

("I'm In Great Shape" is a similar sounding song, but it's definitely H&V.)
