"Do It Over again" is a song by the American rock ring the Beach Boys that was released as single on July 8, 1968.[3] [4] It was written by Brian Wilson and Mike Honey as a self-conscious callback to the group's before surf image, which they had not embraced since 1964. Love and Wilson also share the pb vocal on the song.

The song was issued only two weeks after the release of the ring'southward album Friends, with the album track "Wake the World" as its B-side. Information technology reached number 20 on the U.Due south. Billboard Hot 100 and became their second number one hit in the Uk. A slightly edited version of the vocal, using an extract from the Smile outtake "Workshop", subsequently appeared equally the opening track on the Embankment Boys' 1969 album 20/20.

"Practise Information technology Again" has been rerecorded in one case past the ring (in 2011), once by Wilson as a solo artist (in 1995), and twice by Love as a solo artist (in 1996 and 2017). The vocal was an influence on Neil Sedaka's "Love Will Keep United states Together" (1973), Eric Carmen's "She Did Information technology" (1977), ABBA's "On and on and On" (1980), and Hall & Oates' "Did It in a Minute" (1982).

Background and recording [edit]

"Do It Again" is a self-witting callback to the band'due south before surf-based cloth. Originally titled "Rendezvous", the lyrics to the song were inspired after a day Mike Dear 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] Love commented, "He remembers it existence at my house. I recollect it as existence at his house. He starts pounding at the piano, I was summoning up the words and we got a chorus together, which was basically a bunch 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' Fourth dimension".[vii] Carl Wilson recalled in Melody Maker:

Yes, I suppose it has got the old Beach Boys surfing sound. It's back to that surfing thought with the voice harmony and the elementary, direct melody and lyrics. We didn't program the tape as a render to the surf or anything. We merely did it one twenty-four hour period round a piano in the studio. Brian had the idea and played information technology over to us. Nosotros improved on that and recorded it very quickly, in most v minutes. It'southward certainly not an old rails of ours; in fact it was recorded only a few weeks before it was released. We liked how information technology turned out and decided to release it.[v]

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

During the mixdown, engineer Stephen Desper came upwards with the drum upshot heard at the beginning of the rails. He explained that he had "commissioned Philips, in Holland, to build 2 record delay units for use on the route (to double alive vocals). [he] moved four of the Philips PB heads very close together so that one drum strike was repeated four times almost ten milliseconds autonomously, and composite information technology with the original to give the effect you hear."[ citation needed ].

Promotional movie [edit]

A promotional flick, directed past Peter Clifton, was shot in Los Angeles. The picture, shot in color, features the group pulling upward in a van and visiting a surfing shop. The band and then drives to the beach in their van and begins surfing. The first screenings of the promotional motion-picture show were shown on BBC Ane's Superlative of the Pops during broadcasts of the testify on August 8, 22 and 29. In Deutschland the promotional movie was shown in September during broadcasts of the Hits A Go Become testify on ZDF Idiot box. The clip was later featured in the 1969 Peter Clifton Australian surfing film Fluid Journeying.[iv] An alternate promotional film for "Do Information technology Again" was planned with the idea to feature special guest, Beatles member Paul McCartney equally a clerk. Nonetheless the thought was abandoned due to his decorated schedule.[ix]

Release [edit]

Released on July xix, 1968 in the Uk the single, forty days after its release, peaked at No. 1 on the Britain Singles Chart on August 28, 1968, and thus condign the band's second number one hit in the United Kingdom later on "Expert Vibrations" two years earlier.[3] Love remembered thinking that the vocal's success in Great britain "was unbelievable. It showed how many fans we had there and how bonny the whole California lifestyle is." When Friends was issued in Nippon, "Do Information technology Again" was included in its rail list.[10] In Britain's Disc & Music Repeat, Penny Valentine praised the single:

This is a vast improvement on The Beach Boys' last single, and give thanks goodness for it. Information technology sounds like bees bustling on a summer cakewalk and is so completely solid; there isn't room for a fly to pitter-patter in. It goes on very gently and hands and is very, very pleasant. In a way it reminds me of i of the tracks off Pet Sounds, which is overnice to say the least, and a hit it will most certainly be. I can imagine a few people will 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 so there.[4]

"Do It Again" remained at the top position for just one week, afterwards which it was supplanted past the Bee Gees' "I've Gotta Go a Message to Yous".[3]

Influence and use in media [edit]

Neil Sedaka borrowed the main riff from "Practise It Again" for his own vocal "Dearest Will Proceed U.s. Together," a hit for the Helm and Tennille.[11]

Eric Carmen credited the "did-its" in this song with being the initial inspiration for his 1977 Top 40 hit, "She Did It".[12] Bruce Johnston of the Embankment Boys also participated in the product and vocals of Carmen's song. "Did It in a Minute", a 1982 hitting by Hall & Oates, was in turn inspired by the 'did-its' in both songs.[xiii] [14]

ABBA's "On and On and On" (1980) was too influenced by "Practise It Again", and in response, Mike Love recorded a encompass version of the ABBA vocal for his 1981 album Looking Back with Love.[15]

The opening drum line of "Do It Again" was sampled for "Remember" by French electronic duo Air on their album Moon Safari (1997).[16]
