Brian Wilson's favourite song drove legendary musicians insane (Image: Getty Images) The favourite song of The Beach Boys legend Brian Wilson was a folk song which infuriated The Stooges frontman Iggy Pop. While The Beach Boys would go on to cover the song which bemused Alice Cooper and left Iggy Pop tearing through the house looking for an exit, Wilson's favourite song might be quite the surprise. Best known for his well-layered sounds and multi-instrumental talents heard on Pet Sounds and Surf's Up, Wilson, now 82, the music legend had played the song during a reclusive period after his father's death.

Parties next door which were attended by the likes of John Lennon and Keith Moon would hear Wilson cover Shortnin' Bread, the James Whitcomb Riley text originally published as a poem. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
