As a huge fan of the Beach Boys' album Pet Sounds as well as a huge fan of video games, hearing 'God Only Knows' sneak its way into Bioshock Infinite was one of the most pleasant surprises of my video game playing history. Transcribing and analyzing the Barbershop-ified arrangement of this Brian Wilson classic, I realized just how different the Barbershop style is from what Wilson was trying to achieve in his original recording - which makes the fact that this arrangement works all the more impressive. Join me as I break down exactly how the arrangers adapted the sounds of 1966 to the setting of 1912!
