"Do It Again" is a song by the American rock band the Embankment Boys that was released equally single on July eight, 1968.[3] [iv] Information technology was written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love equally a self-conscious callback to the grouping'south earlier surf prototype, which they had not embraced since 1964. Love and Wilson also share the lead vocal on the song.

The song was issued just ii weeks afterward the release of the band's album Friends, with the album track "Wake the World" equally its B-side. It reached number 20 on the U.Southward. Billboard Hot 100 and became their second number one hit in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland. A slightly edited version of the song, using an excerpt from the Smile outtake "Workshop", subsequently appeared as the opening track on the Beach Boys' 1969 anthology 20/20.

"Do It Again" has been rerecorded one time by the band (in 2011), one time by Wilson as a solo artist (in 1995), and twice by Dearest as a solo artist (in 1996 and 2017). The song was an influence on Neil Sedaka's "Dear Volition Proceed Us Together" (1973), Eric Carmen'southward "She Did It" (1977), ABBA'south "On and on and On" (1980), and Hall & Oates' "Did Information technology in a Minute" (1982).

Background and recording [edit]

"Do Information technology Again" is a self-conscious callback to the band's earlier surf-based cloth. Originally titled "Rendezvous", the lyrics to the vocal were inspired after a day Mike Love had spent at the beach in which he had gone surfing with an erstwhile friend named Bill Jackson.[5] Mike then showed the lyrics to his cousin Brian Wilson, who proceeded to write the music to Mike'south lyrics of nostalgia. Brian stated that he believes the song was the best collaboration that he and Mike ever worked on.[5] Love commented, "He remembers it being at my house. I remember it as being at his house. He starts pounding at the piano, I was summoning upwardly the words and we got a chorus together, which was basically a bunch of doo-wop inspired harmonies. We created that whole song in fifteen minutes."[6] Other inspiration came from Hank Ballard's & The Midnighters 1960 song "Finger Poppin' Time".[7] Carl Wilson recalled in Melody Maker:

Yes, I suppose it has got the sometime Beach Boys surfing sound. It's back to that surfing idea with the voice harmony and the simple, direct melody and lyrics. We didn't program the record every bit a render to the surf or anything. We only did it one day round a piano in the studio. Brian had the idea and played information technology over to u.s.a.. We improved on that and recorded it very chop-chop, in about five minutes. Information technology'due south certainly not an old rails of ours; in fact information technology was recorded merely a few weeks before it was released. Nosotros liked how information technology turned out and decided to release it.[5]

Conversely, Bruce Johnston told a reporter in September 1968 that he shared the reporter's underwhelming opinion of the song. "I don't like it etiher. I don't think that the grouping were entirely happy with information technology, but everyone else was going dorsum to basics, so I suppose it was inevitable that we should."[8]

During the mixdown, engineer Stephen Desper came up with the drum consequence heard at the beginning of the rail. He explained that he had "commissioned Philips, in The netherlands, to build 2 tape delay units for use on the road (to double live vocals). [he] moved four of the Philips Pb heads very close together so that one drum strike was repeated 4 times about x milliseconds autonomously, and blended it with the original to give the effect you hear."[ commendation needed ]. Drums were played past Dennis Wilson and session musician John Guerin; tambourine and wood blocks were also played by Guerin.[9] [10]

Promotional pic [edit]

A promotional moving picture, directed past Peter Clifton, was shot in Los Angeles. The film, shot in colour, features the group pulling upwardly in a van and visiting a surfing shop. The band then drives to the beach in their van and begins surfing. The offset screenings of the promotional picture were shown on BBC One'southward Meridian of the Pops during broadcasts of the show on August 8, 22 and 29. In Deutschland the promotional film was shown in September during broadcasts of the Hits A Get Go prove on ZDF TV. The prune was after featured in the 1969 Peter Clifton Australian surfing film Fluid Journey.[four] An alternate promotional film for "Do It Again" was planned with the idea to feature special guest, Beatles member Paul McCartney as a clerk. However the thought was abased due to his busy schedule.[11]

Release [edit]

Released on July 19, 1968 in the United Kingdom the single, forty days after its release, peaked at No. 1 on the U.k. Singles Nautical chart on Baronial 28, 1968, and thus becoming the ring'south 2d number one hit in the United kingdom afterwards "Proficient Vibrations" 2 years earlier.[3] Love remembered thinking that the song's success in United kingdom "was unbelievable. It showed how many fans we had there and how attractive the whole California lifestyle is." When Friends was issued in Japan, "Do It Again" was included in its track list.[12] In Uk's Disc & Music Echo, Penny Valentine praised the single:

This is a vast improvement on The Beach Boys' final single, and thank goodness for it. It sounds like bees humming on a summer breeze and is then completely solid; there isn't room for a fly to creep in. It goes on very gently and easily and is very, very pleasant. In a manner it reminds me of one of the tracks off Pet Sounds, which is nice to say the least, and a hit it will most certainly exist. I tin can imagine a few people volition be muttering, "Well, she said they were finished," but I didn't. I said they should get back to their competent, commercial sound and they have. And then there.[4]

"Do It Once again" remained at the top position for simply 1 calendar week, afterwards which it was supplanted by the Bee Gees' "I've Gotta Get a Bulletin to You".[three]

Influence and use in media [edit]

Neil Sedaka borrowed the main riff from "Do It Once more" for his own vocal "Love Will Keep U.s.a. Together," a hit for the Captain and Tennille.[13]

Eric Carmen credited the "did-its" in this song with existence the initial inspiration for his 1977 Top 40 hit, "She Did Information technology".[14] Bruce Johnston of the Embankment Boys also participated in the production and vocals of Carmen's vocal. "Did It in a Minute", a 1982 striking by Hall & Oates, was in turn inspired past the 'did-its' in both songs.[15] [16]

ABBA's "On and On and On" (1980) was also influenced by "Practise It Again", and in response, Mike Love recorded a cover version of the ABBA song for his 1981 album Looking Back with Dear.[17]
