Thank you my friend CPL Dave Hoover for posting the audio recording of The Beach Boys performing "Somewhere Near Japan"

Beach Boys - Somewhere Near Japan / 1989 Music Video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvN-ijsVqbA

Somewhere Near Japan written by John Phillips, Terry Melcher, Mike Love and Bruce Johnston. Included on the "Still Cruisin'" album, 1989.
Lyrics
"Late last night I got an S. O. S.
The fairy tale girl's in deep in distress
She says I don't know where I am
But it's near Japan
My engine's all burned out
My crew has all bailed out
I don't know where I am
But it's somewhere near Japan
And she said
"Rescue me"
I'm somewhere in the
China Sea
I think I'm sinkin' fast
This call is probably my last
I'm throwin' out a life line
And I'm doin' it for old time's sake
Though I know you're gonna break my heart
One more time
Late last night I got an S. O. S.
The fairy tale girl's in deep in distress
She says I don't know where I am
But it's near Japan
My engine's all burned out
My crew has all bailed out
I don't know where I am
But it's somewhere near Japan
And she said "thank you dear"
I think she sounded quite sincere
And…"

CPL Dave Hoover When I was deployed to Korea. The ship mike kept saying, "We are somewhere near Japan." The Beach Boys must have stole this for their title.
