"Honeycomb" is a popular song written by Bob Merrill in 1954. The best-selling version was recorded by Jimmie Rodgers and charted at number one on the Billboard Top 100 in 1957 and number one for four weeks in Canada.[1][2] "Honeycomb" also reached number one on the R&B Best Sellers chart[3] and number seven on the Country & Western Best Sellers in Stores chart.[4] It became a gold record. The song is referenced in the McGuire Sisters hit song "Sugartime", in which the soloist sings the line "Just be my honeycomb" and the word "honeycomb" is echoed by the other sisters and the male chorus.
Brian Wilson covered the song in 2021. Footage of Brian Wilson recording it can be seen in the 2021 documentary Brian Wilson: Long Promised Road, and the finished recording was issued on that documentary's soundtrack.
