It only takes a few seconds of pinching your nose to change your voice, but Brian Wilson turned that tiny act into a moment of humor and history. In one clip, he asks someone to hold his nose as he sings, laughing at how silly it feels. Then he admits, “that is how I used to sound,” pointing to Mike Love’s signature nasal style.
The imitation is more than just a playful tease. Brian delivers it with a grin, but underneath, it is almost a confession of how much that tone shaped The Beach Boys’ sound. For a band built on tight harmonies and unique textures, Love’s voice gave them something that listeners never forgot. Brian’s mimicry carries both comedy and respect.
The Beach Boys – Brian Wilson imitates Mike Love
Fans caught this moment and did not hold back. One comment called it “Brian being Brian” while another joked that it was the best impression of Mike Love ever captured. Someone else wrote, “only he could poke fun at Mike like that.”
That lighthearted impression makes the contrast sharper when you hear Brian speak about his cousin in another clip. Instead of laughter, there is blunt honesty. When asked if he keeps in touch with Mike Love, Brian responds without hesitation: “not at all, no, I do not like Mike Love at all.” The joke turns into something heavier.

He explains why with painful clarity. Love’s attitude, Brian says, is “too egotistical,” and he admits he cannot be around him for more than five minutes. For fans who saw the earlier nose-pinching joke, this moment feels like the other side of the coin, proof that their long feud was not just music gossip but something deeply personal.
