"Do It Again" is a vocal by the American rock band the Beach Boys that was released as single on July 8, 1968.[3] [4] It was written by Brian Wilson and Mike Dear as a self-conscious callback to the group's earlier surf image, which they had not embraced since 1964. Dearest and Wilson likewise share the atomic number 82 vocal on the song.

The vocal was issued simply ii weeks after the release of the band's album Friends, with the album rail "Wake the World" every bit its B-side. It reached number 20 on the U.Due south. Billboard Hot 100 and became their 2nd number one striking in the UK. A slightly edited version of the song, using an excerpt from the Smile outtake "Workshop", afterwards appeared as the opening rail on the Beach Boys' 1969 anthology twenty/xx.

"Do It Again" has been rerecorded one time by the ring (in 2011), once by Wilson as a solo creative person (in 1995), and twice by Love equally a solo creative person (in 1996 and 2017). The song was an influence on Neil Sedaka's "Honey Volition Proceed Us Together" (1973), Eric Carmen's "She Did It" (1977), ABBA's "On and on and On" (1980), and Hall & Oates' "Did Information technology in a Infinitesimal" (1982).

Groundwork and recording [edit]

"Practise It Once again" is a cocky-conscious callback to the band's earlier surf-based fabric. Originally titled "Rendezvous", the lyrics to the song were inspired afterward a day Mike Honey had spent at the beach in which he had gone surfing with an old friend named Bill Jackson.[5] Mike and then showed the lyrics to his cousin Brian Wilson, who proceeded to write the music to Mike's lyrics of nostalgia. Brian stated that he believes the song was the best collaboration that he and Mike ever worked on.[5] Honey commented, "He remembers information technology being at my house. I call up it every bit beingness at his business firm. He starts pounding at the piano, I was summoning up the words and we got a chorus together, which was basically a agglomeration of doo-wop inspired harmonies. We created that whole song in xv minutes."[6] Other inspiration came from Hank Ballard'due south & The Midnighters 1960 song "Finger Poppin' Time".[7] Carl Wilson recalled in Melody Maker:

Yes, I suppose it has got the onetime Beach Boys surfing sound. It's back to that surfing idea with the vox harmony and the simple, direct melody and lyrics. We didn't plan the record as a return to the surf or anything. Nosotros but did it 1 mean solar day round a piano in the studio. Brian had the idea and played it over to us. Nosotros improved on that and recorded it very quickly, in almost five minutes. It'southward certainly not an erstwhile rail of ours; in fact it was recorded merely a few weeks before information technology was released. We liked how it turned out and decided to release it.[5]

Conversely, Bruce Johnston told a reporter in September 1968 that he shared the reporter'due south underwhelming opinion of the vocal. "I don't like it etiher. I don't think that the grouping were entirely happy with it, just everyone else was going back to basics, then I suppose it was inevitable that nosotros should."[8]

During the mixdown, engineer Stephen Desper came up with the drum effect heard at the beginning of the rails. He explained that he had "deputed Philips, in Holland, to build two tape delay units for utilize on the route (to double live vocals). [he] moved four of the Philips PB heads very close together so that 1 pulsate strike was repeated 4 times about x milliseconds apart, and blended it with the original to requite the effect you hear."[ citation needed ]. Drums were played past Dennis Wilson and session musician John Guerin; tambourine and wood blocks were besides played by Guerin.[ix] [x]

Promotional film [edit]

A promotional film, directed by Peter Clifton, was shot in Los Angeles. The motion picture, shot in color, features the grouping pulling upwards in a van and visiting a surfing shop. The band then drives to the beach in their van and begins surfing. The commencement screenings of the promotional motion-picture show were shown on BBC One'south Peak of the Pops during broadcasts of the bear witness on Baronial 8, 22 and 29. In Germany the promotional film was shown in September during broadcasts of the Hits A Get Go evidence on ZDF Telly. The clip was subsequently featured in the 1969 Peter Clifton Australian surfing film Fluid Journey.[4] An alternate promotional film for "Exercise It Again" was planned with the idea to feature special guest, Beatles member Paul McCartney as a clerk. However the thought was abandoned due to his busy schedule.[eleven]

Release [edit]

Released on July xix, 1968 in the Britain the single, forty days after its release, peaked at No. i on the UK Singles Chart on August 28, 1968, and thus condign the band'southward second number one hit in the Great britain afterward "Expert Vibrations" ii years earlier.[three] Dear remembered thinking that the song's success in Britain "was unbelievable. It showed how many fans we had there and how attractive the whole California lifestyle is." When Friends was issued in Japan, "Practise Information technology Once again" was included in its rails list.[12] In Britain's Disc & Music Echo, Penny Valentine praised the single:

This is a vast improvement on The Beach Boys' last unmarried, and thank goodness for it. Information technology sounds similar bees bustling on a summer cakewalk and is so completely solid; there isn't room for a fly to creep in. It goes on very gently and hands and is very, very pleasant. In a way it reminds me of 1 of the tracks off Pet Sounds, which is nice to say the to the lowest degree, and a hit it will almost certainly be. I can imagine a few people will be muttering, "Well, she said they were finished," just I didn't. I said they should go dorsum to their competent, commercial sound and they accept. Then at that place.[4]

"Do It Once more" remained at the top position for merely one week, later on which it was supplanted past the Bee Gees' "I've Gotta Get a Message to You".[3]

Influence and utilize in media [edit]

Neil Sedaka borrowed the primary riff from "Do It Over again" for his ain song "Love Volition Keep United states of america Together," a hitting for the Captain and Tennille.[xiii]

Eric Carmen credited the "did-its" in this song with being the initial inspiration for his 1977 Top 40 striking, "She Did It".[14] Bruce Johnston of the Beach Boys as well participated in the production and vocals of Carmen'south song. "Did Information technology in a Minute", a 1982 hit by Hall & Oates, was in turn inspired by the 'did-its' in both songs.[15] [sixteen]

ABBA'south "On and On and On" (1980) was also influenced past "Do It Once again", and in response, Mike Love recorded a cover version of the ABBA song for his 1981 album Looking Back with Honey.[17]

The opening drum line of "Practice Information technology Once again" was sampled for "Recollect" by French electronic duo Air on their album Moon Safari (1997).[18]
