@steveroyle yes! I'm impressed! My next clue would have been a Beach Boys song that would have made it much easier.
The question was insired by reading Elizabeth Alkers's excellent book. Just finished the chapter on Bob Moog.

@CellySally This is a great question! I don't know the book, I'll look it up. So, about Good Vibrations... it is not a theremin that is used on that track. There was an instrument called a portmento (or something) that is much easier to play and this is what was used on the track. The same thing is on Crazy Horses. I think your examples are all theremin though and Velouria too. For sure Jimmy Page used played one live with Led Zep from what I've seen.
