"Hawaii"

In "Hawaii," "far and near" in the line "Surfer guys and girls will be comin' from far and near" is a merism.

"The Surfer Moon"

I noticed a couple significant melismas in "The Surfer Moon."  In the line "Brings the tide in, takes it all away," "away" is sung with a melisma (I think it's Eb Eb D Eb F G A F, but since there's a harmony part there, it's a bit difficult to tell) for a sense of movement or distance, and in the line "Promising to remain forevermore," "forevermore" is sung with a melisma (A# G# F# F# E#, I think) for a sense of duration.  (I'm pretty sure there's a key change for the bridge, which is why one of those sets of notes is in a flat key and the other is in a sharp key.)

While referencing the song again to find those specific pitches, I also noticed that the melody mirrors the directions in the line "Rising up, throwing down its golden light."  "Rising up" is sung to an ascending phrase (F# G# A#), and "throwing down" is sung to a descending phrase (C# B G#).

"Noble Surfer"

In "Noble Surfer," "night and day" in the line "Surfin' night and day, never twice in one spot" and "up and down" in the line "He takes his choice of honeys up and down the coast" are merisms.

"Surfin'"

"From the early mornin' to the middle of the night" in "Surfin'" is a merism.

"County Fair"

In "County Fair," the description "most specialist" ("the most specialist girl I knew") is a pleonasm.  Adding "-ist" to the end of an adjective and putting "most" in front of it are both ways to form the superlative, but doing both isn't necessary.  That both are here indicates an extreme degree.

"Surfin' Safari"

I recently listened to the first three Beach Boys albums (and Shut Down Volume 2 because it's paired with Surfer Girl on the CD re-issue), and I noticed a bunch of minor points to note.

In "Surfin' Safari," the line "From Hawaii to the shores of Peru" (describing how surfing is "gettin' bigger ev'ry day") is a merism.

"Our Car Club"

I was thinking about "Our Car Club" this morning and realized a small feature about it:  the line "We got a Deuce Coupe, a Stingray, a rail job, and an XKE" is a rhetorical catalogue whose function is to illustrate the "class and style" of the car club via the variety of cars included in it.

"Long Promised Road"

In the line "Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down" in "Long Promised Road," "down" is sung with various descending melismas, giving a sense of the word's meaning.  In the backing vocals, the word is repeated at progressively lower pitches (F Eb D C), providing the same sense of meaning in a different manner.

"Cool, Cool Water"

In "Cool, Cool Water," there's the line "From the mountains on down to the sea" (this is specific to the Sunflower version; this section isn't in the SMiLE Sessions versions).  I'm not sure if this line is meant to describe the journey that water makes or whether it identifies the variety of locations in which "Cool water keeps on coolin' me."  If it's the second reading, though, "From the mountains on down to the sea" is a merism.

"All I Wanna Do"

I noted before that in the line "You can be sure that in my heart and soul I love you in every way" in "All I Wanna Do," "every" is sung with three syllables to give a sense of number.  When I listened to Sunflower yester-day, I noticed that "way" is sung with a melisma (E D), giving a sense of amount.
