Great reaction video the Caribbean sea has many wonderful Islands to visit or even live in kokomo is a fictitious place but the other islands mentioned are real
When this song was released, travel agencies were slammed with calls. EVERYONE wanted to go to Kokomo. People didn't know Kokomo is an imaginary place.
This is such a fun song! Brian Wilson was the genius songwriter of the group. They span many decades but I love their early stuff from the 60's-70's. Their music conveys such happy innocent days of youth (surfing, cars, romance). They had tons of hits such as "Surfin' U.S.A.", "Surfin' Safari", "I Get Around", "California Girls", "Help Me, Rhonda", "Barbara Ann", "Sloop John B.", "Fun Fun Fun", "Little Deuce Coupe", "God Only Knows", "In My Room", "Good Vibrations" etc.
In 1988 the Beach Boys set an all-time record: Longest Dry Spell between #1 hits. This was their first #1 since "Good Vibrations" back in 1966... twenty-two years between #1's. I believe that record still stands.

The Beach Boys, Dick Dale, Jan & Dean... surf rock was special. Good things seem to move in cycles, so maybe it will come back someday. Hope I'm still around when it does. ;)
I attended a beach boys concert at the Ventura County Fair years ago. Metal stands set up on the beach, ocean bakground but i didnt want to go, got talked into it. I have never had as much fun at a concert in my 75 years. So glad my friends pushed me to go.
Believe it or not the Beach Boys had some of the most complicated vocals and music ever according to an article I read. They just make it all look so easy❤
This was much later in their career.They had not had a #1 record since Good Vibrations 22 years earlier in 1966. The song actually did way better than the movie it was from, "Cocktail."
Hi Sarah - true story - my daughter was in the 9th grade, the geography teacher asked the students which Caribbean islands etc. they knew and could name. The result was more or less. Bahamas, Montigo, Aruba, Jamaika and so on. When no one else answered, my daughter stood up and named the island of Kokomo, knowing full well that this island doesn't exist. The teacher was astonished at first, then he laughed, and wanted to know why she knew this island. My daughter told me about our Sunday music quiz that we listen to at breakfast. Since I'm an absolute music freak, my daughters were tortured with my music on these Sundays (LOL) The other students were all totally surprised - my daughter told even more - the atmosphere was great. The teacher was pleased with the spontaneity and knowledge of the music they heard, there was a lot of discussion about it and my daughter ultimately received the top grade of 1 from the teacher.
Sarah welcome to summertime music. Check out LITTLE DUECE CUEPE , GOOD VIBRATIONS and others. They were a band from California. They brought out good times.
I've always loved this song. It's so catchy and just so 😊
Makes me feel good when I'm down. Better than a psychiatrist!😻
I've been a Beach Boys fan since their beginning and love this song. It was fun listening to it with you. Thanks.
Beach Boy are awesome! Love your reaction! Your excitement is catching!
This song should easily make the vacation playlist.

Tell that to the folks in Kokomo, Indiana. Cheers....

Kokomo, Indiana. It's a real place, just not what this song implies. Cheers....
Another song that will keep you in the tropical mood is called Margaritaville. Check it out!
❤😂🎉😂❤🎉❤
Fun song! My Uncle went to HS with the Beach boys, He said they weren't really surfers bc too busy in the studio. Beach scenes were photo ops
@@ps4jade Dennis Wilson was the only surfer.

Great song!! Have always loved the Beach Boys. Made so many great, fun songs! 😅
This was a big hit when my daughter was first born I used to rock her around with this song and dance with her
From the movie Cocktails with Tom Cruize. The drummer on this one is John Stamos
Every Beach Boys song made you feel better. You couldn't be sad listening to them .
There is no island named Kokomo. But there is a small town in rural Indiana named Kokomo. This came as a surprise to The Beach Boys as well.
Been there. Done that.
I would call it a large town, or very small city.
But boring AF, though.
Montego Bay, Jamaica
Sandals Cay (formerly called Kokomo Island) is part of the privately owned Sandals Royal Caribbean all-inclusive resort in Montego Bay, Jamaica
I wonder if Chuck Berry knew? He used the name in "Riding along in my automobile"
Despite there being no real Kokomo paradise, the scenes are from the Tom Cruise film Cocktail, filmed in Jamaica.
I loved your reaction Sarah! You were swept away by this song and it was wonderful to watch. Your reactions are a delight.
That smile you have is beautiful for this song
Every body wants to go to Kokomo.
One of those songs you never get tired of hearing.
KOMOMO is my go-to chill song to sing and jam to, in the style of Steve Carrel in “Space Force” (great scene! It’s here on YT)

Sarah, The Beach Boys was the first concert that I ever attended! It was in 1978! Great memories! Thanks for the reaction!

Love this song by the legendary Beach Boys. Loved watching your face light up when the steel drums kicked in, you have a beautiful smile.
This is a great song. But it was SO MUCH FUN watching you rocking out to it!! Thank you!

This song is in my top 100 of all time 🎶🎵
Great reaction. Love this song. It was in a movie called Cocktail. The Beach Boys have so many feel good songs. One is surfing usa. ❤

Beach Boys are happy music.
One of their catchiest tunes - love hearing it!
Haha, you should watch the Muppet version of this. Miss Piggy gets mad at Kermit the frog and the hula dancers.
I enjoyed seeing Mike on the sax. Good song, great band, good reaction.
This is a great song ❤thanks for the great reaction
In 1988 I took my 6 year old daughter to see the Beach Boys and this was her favorite song.

The movie clips are from an old Tom Cruise movie called “Cocktail”. This song sure makes me want a pina colada! 😁

Plan a vacation while you listen!
Oh man I wanted , to sponsor this song, someone else beat me to it.

You picked one of their…not so good numbers! They are the sound of music in America!
Kokomo? Yuck, this is an abomination of a song.
Everyone has an opinion.
Kokomo. Indiana is the homr of a Chrysler transmission plant. Nevrr been a place anyone wantd to go voluntarily.
