Smart Girls

"Smart Girls" is a rap song written and performed by Brian Wilson. It is featured on the aborted Sweet Insanity album, which was planned to be his second solo album following his 1988 self-titled release, Brian Wilson. The song supposedly also features additional writings from Eugene Landy, Brian's therapist at the time, and Landy's wife, Alexandra Morgan.

Song
Described as Brian's sole attempt at rap and hip-hop, the song opens with a mini-saxophone solo before launching into a standard late 80s/early 90s pop rap type beat. The lyrics describe Brian's former obsession with women who were all beauty and no brains and him eventually "seeing the light" and going after intelligent women instead. The song also contains samples, references, and vocal excerpts from Beach Boys songs of the past including "When I Grow Up (To Be A Man)", "409", "Little Deuce Coupe", "Sloop John B", "Surfer Girl", "Help Me, Rhonda", "Good Vibrations", "Wouldn't It Be Nice", among others.
