Too Much Sugar - Brian Wilson

Too Much Sugar - Brian Wilson
2:38
Brian Wilson, 1988 [2000 expanded version]
Written by Brian Wilson

This is one of Wilson's silly-yet-earnest songs about daily life or health, like "Vega-Tables."  Moving between a deep register to those soaring falsettos, Wilson lectures us about sugar and its effects.  "Stuff you eat can poison you / Make you feel real lazy too," he advises, telling the listener to avoid not just sugar but fats, and to get exercise "just like Jane Fonda."  Everyone can appreciate cutting back on sweets when it's wrapped in those honeyed harmonies!
