In the mid 1970s, he recorded and released two albums with side band Celebration (members included jazz musician Charles Lloyd, Ron Altback of King Harvest and Wells Kelly of Orleans) including the top 30 hit single "Almost Summer" co-written with Brian Wilson and Al Jardine. In the late 1970s, he also recorded two unreleased solo albums, First Love and Country Love. Some tracks from these sessions were used on later Beach Boys releases (such as Sumahama from L.A. (Light Album) and Daybreak Over the Ocean from That's Why God Made the Radio). In 1981, he released a solo album, Looking Back with Love featuring a cover of Be My Baby produced by Brian Wilson.
In 1988, the Beach Boys had a US number-one hit with Kokomo, the only number-one song the band had without Brian Wilson's involvement. Kokomo was nominated for a Golden Globe Award (1988) in the Original Song category, and was nominated for a Grammy Award.
After the death of Carl Wilson, the band fragmented, and Love continued to tour as The Beach Boys, along with Bruce Johnston and a supporting band of new musicians. Love was the only original member in the band lineup until the 50th Anniversary Reunion in 2012.
2. Mike Love is an American reggae musician and singer from Hawai'i. His 2014 record, Jah Will Never Leave I Alone, reached #3 on Billboard's Reggae chart. He self-describes his style as "revolutionary consciousness music".
Born in O'ahu, he grew up in Kalama Valley and attended Henry J. Kaiser High School. He released his debut album The Change I'm Seeking in 2012, followed by Jah Will Never Leave I Alone in 2014, Love Will Find A Way in 2015, and the Love Overflowing EP a year later.
Mike Love opened for Xavier Rudd's Boulder, Colorado concert in 2015, singing together during the end of the show. Love attributes some of his success to his YouTube rendition of "Permanent Holiday", which has more than 20 million views as of 2019. The song's lyrics turn what seem to be a "random assortment of syllables...into a song over a period of three minutes", according to Colossal.
Love has toured in the Philippines (headlining the Malasimbo music festival), New Zealand, and Costa Rica, among other locations internationally. In the US he has played at the Rise Up Music Festival in 2019, the Rhode Island Reggae Festival in 2019, Bhakti Fest in 2019, Think Bank Down By the Riverside in 2019, and was slated to perform at the California Roots Music and Arts Festival until its cancellation due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Love has collaborated with Clinton Fearon on his album History Say. He participates in Playing for Change.
He currently plays with his band, Mike Love and the Full Circle, consisting of Sam Gonsalves, John Hawes, Keith Tsukamaki, Reggie Padilla, and Arthur Davis. In addition to touring, the band does a weekly gig at Hawaiian Brian's on O'ahu. All of Love's albums are released independently on his own label, Love Not War Records.

The girl's got my heart and my love's coming down on me

With all the other stud bees buzzing all around her hive

Well can you can, you gonna take my life eating up her wild honey

In Mike Love's song "Wild Honey," the lyrics tell the story of a man who is hopelessly in love with a woman who has captured his heart. He tells his mother that she is his girl, and he intends to keep it that way. He declares that no matter how she tries to dissuade him, the girl has his heart, and his love is coming down on him like a hammer. He got a taste of wild honey, and there is no turning back for him.
The woman is compared to a honey bee, with her sweetness being compared to that of honey. She has stung the singer and singled him out from all the other men buzzing around her hive. He declares that he will do anything to be with her, including breaking his back to save money to be with her.
The lyrics speak to the power of love and the lengths to which someone will go to be with the person they love. The use of honey and bees as metaphors adds to the sweetness and lightness of the song, making it a catchy and enjoyable listen.

Exodus 20
King James Version
20 And God spake all these words, saying,
2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
13 Thou shalt not kill.
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Thou shalt not steal.
16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
