"Do Information technology Once again" is a song by the American rock band the Beach Boys that was released every bit single on July 8, 1968.[3] [four] It was written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love equally a cocky-conscious callback to the group's earlier surf image, which they had not embraced since 1964. Love and Wilson also share the lead song on the vocal.

The vocal was issued simply two weeks after the release of the band's album Friends, with the anthology track "Wake the World" as its B-side. It reached number 20 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and became their second number 1 hit in the UK. A slightly edited version of the song, using an excerpt from the Smile outtake "Workshop", subsequently appeared as the opening rail on the Beach Boys' 1969 anthology 20/xx.

"Exercise It Again" has been rerecorded in one case by the ring (in 2011), one time by Wilson as a solo creative person (in 1995), and twice by Love every bit a solo creative person (in 1996 and 2017). The song was an influence on Neil Sedaka's "Love Will Keep The states Together" (1973), Eric Carmen's "She Did It" (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-conscious callback to the band'due south earlier surf-based material. Originally titled "Rendezvous", the lyrics to the song were inspired after a day Mike Honey had spent at the beach in which he had gone surfing with an former friend named Pecker Jackson.[5] Mike then showed the lyrics to his cousin Brian Wilson, who proceeded to write the music to Mike'due south lyrics of nostalgia. Brian stated that he believes the song was the best collaboration that he and Mike ever worked on.[v] Beloved commented, "He remembers information technology beingness at my firm. I remember information technology equally beingness at his house. He starts pounding at the pianoforte, I was summoning up the words and nosotros got a chorus together, which was basically a bunch of doo-wop inspired harmonies. We created that whole song in xv minutes."[half dozen] Other inspiration came from Hank Ballard's & The Midnighters 1960 song "Finger Poppin' Time".[vii] Carl Wilson recalled in Tune Maker:

Yep, I suppose it has got the quondam Beach Boys surfing audio. Information technology'southward back to that surfing idea with the phonation harmony and the uncomplicated, direct tune and lyrics. We didn't plan the record as a return to the surf or anything. We only did it one solar day circular a piano in the studio. Brian had the idea and played it over to us. We improved on that and recorded information technology very quickly, in about five minutes. It's certainly not an quondam track of ours; in fact information technology 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's underwhelming opinion of the vocal. "I don't similar it etiher. I don't think that the grouping were entirely happy with it, just everyone else was going back to basics, so I suppose information technology was inevitable that we should."[8]

During the mixdown, engineer Stephen Desper came up with the drum outcome heard at the beginning of the rails. He explained that he had "commissioned Philips, in The netherlands, to build two record filibuster units for use on the road (to double alive vocals). [he] moved four of the Philips Pb heads very close together so that i drum strike was repeated four times about ten milliseconds apart, and blended it with the original to give the outcome you hear."[ commendation needed ].

Promotional film [edit]

A promotional flick, directed by Peter Clifton, was shot in Los Angeles. The picture show, shot in color, features the group pulling up in a van and visiting a surfing shop. The band then drives to the beach in their van and begins surfing. The kickoff screenings of the promotional film were shown on BBC Ane's Top of the Pops during broadcasts of the show on August viii, 22 and 29. In Federal republic of germany the promotional film was shown in September during broadcasts of the Hits A Get Get show on ZDF Tv. The clip was later featured in the 1969 Peter Clifton Australian surfing film Fluid Journeying.[iv] An alternate promotional movie for "Do It Over again" was planned with the thought to feature special guest, Beatles member Paul McCartney as a clerk. However the idea was abased due to his busy schedule.[9]

Release [edit]

Released on July 19, 1968 in the Uk the single, forty days after its release, peaked at No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart on Baronial 28, 1968, and thus becoming the band'southward 2nd number one hitting in the United Kingdom after "Adept Vibrations" two years earlier.[3] Love remembered thinking that the vocal'south success in Britain "was unbelievable. It showed how many fans nosotros had there and how attractive the whole California lifestyle is." When Friends was issued in Japan, "Do It Again" was included in its track listing.[ten] 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. It sounds like bees humming on a summer breeze and is so completely solid; in that location isn't room for a fly to creep in. It goes on very gently and easily and is very, very pleasant. In a way it reminds me of one of the tracks off Pet Sounds, which is nice to say the to the lowest degree, and a hit it will well-nigh certainly be. 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 audio and they take. So in that location.[4]

"Do Information technology Over again" remained at the summit position for just ane week, subsequently which information technology was supplanted by the Bee Gees' "I've Gotta Get a Message to Yous".[three]

Influence and use in media [edit]

Neil Sedaka borrowed the main riff from "Do It Again" for his own song "Love Will Keep Us Together," a hit for the Captain and Tennille.[11]

Eric Carmen credited the "did-its" in this song with being the initial inspiration for his 1977 Pinnacle 40 hit, "She Did Information technology".[12] Bruce Johnston of the Beach Boys also participated in the production and vocals of Carmen'southward song. "Did Information technology in a Infinitesimal", a 1982 hitting past Hall & Oates, was in turn inspired by the 'did-its' in both songs.[13] [xiv]

ABBA'southward "On and On and On" (1980) was as well influenced past "Practice It Once again", and in response, Mike Love recorded a cover version of the ABBA vocal for his 1981 album Looking Back with Love.[15]

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