"TM Song" is a song written by
Brian Wilson for the American pop bandThe Beach Boys . It was released on their1976 album "15 Big Ones ". The song featuresAl Jardine on lead vocals, but every group member is featured on a spoken intro, which sets up the theme of the song: An improvised (and impassioned) five-way argument goes on in the background, until one of the band members "approaches" the microphone, and in response to the stress, says "Whew!" Time for me to meditate!" Then the music starts. The lyrics mention theMaharishi .Details
