美国摇滚乐团，成立于加利福尼亚州洛杉矶县霍桑市，是冲浪摇滚音乐的经典代表乐团。该团以精準的合音，以及反映着加州青年文化、关于车和冲浪的歌曲着称。布莱恩·威尔森充满野心的创造与想像力，使得海滩男孩成为一个更创新的团体，并获得了极高的讚誉，甚至影响了许多后来的音乐人。

“海滩男孩”对乐坛的贡献，并不在于他们创造的以描述美国黄金时代奢侈生活为内容的浮夸的冲浪音乐，而在于他们完成了一个和谐完整的男声和声体系，这对以后的乐队和声组合影响深远，乐队在这一方面的集大成之作，当属《宠物之声》专辑。专辑中优美整齐到天衣无缝的和声极具欣赏价值，专辑中的代表歌曲也是最流行的歌曲就是这首“岂不更好(Wouldn't It Be Nice)”。

岂不更好(Wouldn't It Be Nice)完成于1961年，却一直传唱不衰。它描绘的是少男少女希望与自己的恋人相依相慰，白头到老的这种纯真情感。不仅曲调清新，歌词也让人充满畅想。亚当.桑德勒的新片《初恋50次》中取起作为贯穿全片的主题曲，也显得十分优美动人。

Wouldn't it be nice if we were older

Then we wouldn't have to wait so long

And wouldn't it be nice to live together

In the kind of world where we belong

You know its gonna make it that much better

When we can say goodnight and stay together

Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up

In the morning when the day is new

And after having spent the day together

Hold each other close the whole night through

Happy times together we've been spending

I wish that every kiss was never ending

Wouldn't it be nice

Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true

Baby then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do

We could be married

And then we'd be happy

Wouldn't it be nice

You know it seems the more we talk about it

It only makes it worse to live without it

But lets talk about it

Wouldn't it be nice
