You say you want a barbershop quartet version of The Beach Boys' "Surfer Girl?" YOU GOT IT.
"Late Show, is a relatively new barbershop quartet from Far Western District (formed in 2005) and in 2006 they won the title of District Champion that brought them to their first International convention in Indianapolis. In July 2007, Late Show was thrilled to place 13th in the world at the 2007 international contest in Denver, continuing their steady ascent to the top of barbershop quartet competition. "

2. WOW! They even hit Brian's falsetto spot on!
they didn't have 5 harmonies like the original BB version had, but it was great! Thanks for sharing.

3. Barbershop gets a lot of derision pointed its way...
.
...but I like it. I've always liked harmonized singing.
.
I'm not good at it at all, but the other singer in our band was
EXCEPTIONAL. She always amazed me how she could not only
harmonize, but harmonize in different ways on different occasions
with the same song.
.
People seemed to like my voice. From an internal perspective, I
never quite understood why, but I accepted that (and loved it).
.
I felt that she took me to much higher planes with my voice than
I could reach by myself.

4. That was awesome!
I've always liked close harmony singing whether it's barbershop or doo-wop acapella.

Did you see this Star Trek barbershop?:
