Beach Boys - Sail On Sailor (plus covers by Golden Earring and by Matthew Sweet w/Darius Rucker)

I was thinking about this song a little while ago while reading a thread in GD about Jeff Bezos NOT being allowed to dismantle a Dutch bridge to sail his oversized yacht, for his oversized ego, to the sea. I suppose he can sail up and down the river. Good for the Dutch. I remembered that the Dutch band Golden Earring had done a great cover of this Beach Boys song, one of my favorite songs by Brian Wilson.

And while I was looking at the YouTube video for the Golden Earring cover, I noticed the cover by Matthew Sweet and Darius Rucker -- and I've loved Darius Rucker in particular ever since I first heard Hootie and the Blowfish.

So here are three versions of the song. I love all three.

[Ferrets are Cool]

1. That is, hands down, my favorite BB's song
