"Smart Girls"
Song

"Smart Girls" is a song written by Brian Wilson for his rejected 1991 album Sweet Insanity.[2] Co-produced by Wilson, his former therapist Eugene Landy, and Matt Dike,[1] its recording was allegedly at the insistence of Landy.[3][4] An original acetate credits Wilson, Alexandra Morgan, and Landy for writing.[citation needed]

The song is a hip hop pastiche containing numerous Beach Boys samples, self-quotations, and autobiographical allusions.[5] Its lyrical content encompasses Wilson's infatuation with intelligent women as he illustrates that his old Beach Boys songs only showed a superficial appreciation for women.[6] In 2015, Wilson was asked about "Smart Girls" and said, "Yeah, we were just having a good time. Yeah, it was fun. We were just kidding."[3]

Author/musician Jason Hartley wrote: "What is important was that Wilson was embracing rap when many older rockers thought that rap wasn't real music. As ridiculous as 'Smart Girls' may seem to you today, at the very least, Brian Wilson was on the right side of history."[6]
