Being born in 1958 and hearing this song on the radio in the 60's....Wow...brings back lots of memories of my childhood.Of all the Beach Boys songs,,,This One is My Favorite.Thanks stevieschnick for posting a grand old song..
I'm playing this on a beautiful, sunny September evening in Helsinki, Finland. The window is wide-open on purpose - I'm trying to educate my neighbors.
This song is the epitome of the "sunshine pop" sound the Beach Boys developed. It's a perfect song and brings us back to an era which wasn't as carefree as this music seems to portray
Listening to this turns me back into a young, hot, drag racing, beer drinking, girl chasing, oversexed little devil.. VROOOOM ....OOPS.....HELP....Just turned over in my rocking chair....
Walking around these walls I thought by now they'd fall But You have never failed me yet Waiting for change to come… Do It Again" is a song by the American rock band the Beach Boys that was released as single on July 8, 1968.[2][3] It was written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love as a self-conscious callback to the group's earlier surf image, which they had not embraced since 1964. Love and Wilson also share the lead vocal on the song.🎸🥁🎷🎶❤️
This is one of the very best videos I've seen on TH-cam, with fantastic transitional imagery capturing the song and telling it's story perfectly!! Five stars just isn't enough!!
The Beach Boys with Brian Wlson at the helm were musically way ahead of anybody in the 60s. It was only when Brian became ill and a recluse (losing his falsetto and mind) that sadly they lost there way. Having said that the other band members kept the music alive even now in there 50th year! LEGENDS!
Suntanned bodies and Waves of sunshine the California girls and a Beautiful coastline Warmed up weather Let's get together and Do it again With a girl the lonely sea looks good Makes your night times warm and out of sight Been so long (Hey now hey now hey now hey now hey now) (Hey now hey now hey now hey now hey now) Well I've been thinking 'bout All the places we've surfed and danced and All the faces we've missed so let's get Back together and do it again.......... See why Mike Love was so important to The Beach Boys, what a cool voice. Mike didn't need to learn a instrument, he was born with a great singing voice!
What a masterpiece ,the slowed down snare drums at the beginning ,Brian's voice imitating a trumpet and everything else goin on in there .Brian Wilson ...Genius .
Are you sure that Brian is on this? I'm sure he was not performing live at this time (with his mental health issues) I did see Bruce Johnson on this playing bass (Brian's normal instrument in the day) Dennis on sticks with Alan and Carl on guitars Are you sure you are not confusing Carl and Brian? Regards, Tony
I live half an hour from wildwood nj and i spend allllllll summer there. When its winter i listen to beach boys and i feel sooooo happy:). I cant wait for summer i spend all fall and winter counting the days til spring......
Just a great post with the original BB lineup - perfectly captures the feel of growing up in SoCal. (This from a kid who grew up on the wrong side of the tracks in the valley)
Do It Again" is a self-conscious callback to the band's earlier surf-based material. The lyrics to the song, originally entitled "Rendezvous", were inspired after a day Mike Love had spent at the beach in which he had gone surfing with an old friend named Bill Jackson. Mike then showed the lyrics to his cousin Brian Wilson, who proceeded to write the music to Mike's lyrics of nostalgia. Brian has stated in the past that he believes the song was the best collaboration that he and Mike ever worked on. In 2013, Love noted, "I came back from a surfing trip with some high school buddies and said: 'Hey Brian, I just went to the beach and the waves and the girls were great. We've got to do a song called "Do It Again".' He remembers it being at my house. I remember it as being 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 fifteen minutes."
+SuperJimdale , Typical post from a loser rotting away in his prison cell with nothing better to do then write words of hatred from a band that is 55 years old. Talk to the guards like this and they will do you a favor and put you out of your misery you pathetic goof!
Man, the intro kicks my hindquarters still today decades later! You can almost see the electricity! A modern version of one of Tesla's gadgits! Wait, I just have to do it again! OHHH YEAH! Say this next word in French: "SUPERB"!!!
8 dislikes?? You must be kidding. The minute you hear the opening beats how can your foot not start tapping and you just want to sing along??!! God some people have NO taste! Fabulous song!
Summer 1968 I was preparing to transition from elementary school to junior high. My musical tastes have shifted, but the Beach Boys are still (in my mind) the best American band ever.
Great great song! Nice video. thanks for sharing this. The harmonies are so layered on this it creates an aura or maybe the Beach Boys were trying to express an aura on a place and time and do it very very well. There is a time for solemn reflection and a time to just have fun and dance with life. Leave it to the Beach Boys. And hey a group that takes a picture with a beagle gotta be something special (no bias there hehe).
Another great one. BTW, the Beach Boys sort of own me; well, not really owe me, but I helped them make it big. Their record label distributed copies of their first or second album to radio stations throughout the country through a network of marketers I was in. They sent me two copies of the album, one to keep and one for the radio station in my college town. They had little holes punched in the corner so it couldn't be sold retail, which was fine with me.
First sunny and warm day of the year is,for me.Beach Boys day.Crank this one up,it's worth pissing off the Bieber fans.Let them hear the BBs in their heyday and realise very few artists will ever achieve the longevity of Brian Wilson's legacy.
First heard this as a kid on Portobello beach, Edinburgh 1968. Was thrilled by this well-crafted pop record which gave them their second UK No 1. I always wondered what that deep instrument is that fades in so subtly at around 0:33. More than 40 years later, have never tired of this song or any of the music by this outstanding band. Their music makes me feel so good.
This is my favorite Beach Boys song. I remember hearing it for the first time back in the 80s on an obscure late night TV music retrospective. I had never heard the song before, but it struck a chord with me [if you'll pardon the pun] and I instantly liked it.
+Jennifur Sun listened very closely to an instrument only track. That deep instrument sound ( at 0:33) is two bass saxes. One playing sustained notes, the other playing in rhythm. Very simple but so effective. The Beach Boys records stood out from their contemporaries as they always did something a bit different.
Love this song. Man, these guys know how to lay down a groove. Makes you wanna get up and dance and throw down the romance. Thank God for the Beach Boys. Amen!
Beach Boys are my favorite band EVER. Who would have thought that out of the 3 Wilson's, Brian would be the only one alive today. I would kill to see him on concert.
Oh, I thought that Steve Desper was the engineer who introduced the delay with the drummer John Guerin after Hal Blaine provided the original recorded contribution
I was only 8 years old when this song was released, but when I look back retrospectively, this is their best ever song. The Beach Boys rock, and without "Pet Sounds", no Pink Floyd.
I totally agree with you with it being their best song and it's my fave song of their's too. Its tinge of nostalgic sadness and indulgence in beautiful harmonies is something I can't get enough of, and end up listening to it again when I come upon it.
@mhantholz what are you talkin about? the beach boys are one of the top groups of all time!and still sound great !there harmony was second to none!!!!!!!!
That amazing intro streaming from the radio every night and day will always be one of my sweetest memories from the summer of 1968. Just because it didn't fit the narrative of Brian's withdrawl and decline, the critics have never accepted this as the classic it is, right up there at the level of God Only Knowes, Good Vibrations, Surfs Up and California Girls.
before the Beatles came along, this was what most music was like. wasn't bad, and I love this one, still glad the Beatles came along. I know, I was there.
They were multi-talented. Do it again was one of the last great recordings from them in the late sixties. It went straight to the top of the British charts!
@mhantholz "held great promise...," yikes, do you have any comprehension how brilliant the coordination of riffs, lyrics, and melody is in this song? You name me one band that could begin playing at dawn and provide exceptional music until dusk. And I haven't even started about the three-part miracle, "Surf's Up."
@ambersstar1 I think he's referring to how the Beach Boys became a cheesy nostalgia band, featuring John Stamos, in the absence of Brian. Obviously, they were one of the greatest bands of all time during their 1965-1971 experimental period. From 1971 on though, not so much...
I am only 16 and I love the beach boys!, They are those who will always be classics :)
you are now 29, how does it feel?
And now you are 30 😊 teenage years far behind...life is short...enjoy every moment ❤ xx
Being born in 1958 and hearing this song on the radio in the 60's....Wow...brings back lots of memories of my childhood.Of all the Beach Boys songs,,,This One is My Favorite.Thanks stevieschnick
for posting a grand old song..
How lucky we were to grow up to the sounds of Brain Wilson and the Beach Boys.
YES THANK YOU ALL BEACH BOYS GUYS!
Sadly I only discovered them about 13 years ago when I was 20. I saw them live in 2012. Better ever than never, right?
I'm playing this on a beautiful, sunny September evening in Helsinki, Finland. The window is wide-open on purpose - I'm trying to educate my neighbors.
hope they became fans
@@jennifursun3303 Thanks and Happy New Year!
If your head doesnt start bobing when this starts your dead.....
Bill Tyler omg to funny...but true!!!
That opening bit is killer. It could go on for 5 minutes and anyone in hearing distance would be enslaved.
Right?! If you watch the Beach on the Ed Sullivan show The Beach Boys are featured on it, Carl couldn’t stop dancing 😂
Found myself doing that just before I read your comment.
i grew up with the boys from hawthorne,california,thanks for all the memories americas band-love all and wishin we could do it all again.
One of the best videos ever on TH-cam. And the audio even sounds better than other postings of this same song. Stevieschnick has the magic touch!!!

The Beach Boys. My band. Your band. America's band. So glad I grew up listening to them.
Walking around these walls
I thought by now they'd fall

Suntanned bodies and
Waves of sunshine the
California girls and a
Beautiful coastline
Warmed up weather
Let's get together and
Do it again
With a girl the lonely sea looks good
Makes your night times warm and out of sight
Been so long
(Hey now hey now hey now hey now hey now)
(Hey now hey now hey now hey now hey now)
Well I've been thinking 'bout
All the places we've surfed and danced and
All the faces we've missed so let's get
Back together and do it again..........
See why Mike Love was so important to
The Beach Boys, what a cool voice.
Mike didn't need to learn a instrument, he
was born with a great singing voice!
alan murr Right you are!!!!!!!
+alan murr
Mike Love had some classy dance moves.... Wish I was able to dance like him prior to my sock hops.
What a masterpiece ,the slowed down snare drums at the beginning ,Brian's voice imitating a trumpet and everything else goin on in there .Brian Wilson ...Genius .
I never noticed how Brian's voice was imitating a trumpet until you pointed it out! Good call! Thanks.
Are you sure that Brian is on this?
I'm sure he was not performing live at this time (with his mental health issues)
I did see Bruce Johnson on this playing bass (Brian's normal instrument in the day)
Dennis on sticks with Alan and Carl on guitars
Are you sure you are not confusing Carl and Brian?
Regards,
Tony
and am pretty sure that is the Wrecking Crew playing back there not the guys
Well said,,killer lead solo!!🇺🇸👍
What has happened to Brian Wilson's beautiful voice?
I live half an hour from wildwood nj and i spend allllllll summer there. When its winter i listen to beach boys and i feel sooooo happy:). I cant wait for summer i spend all fall and winter counting the days til spring......

Good psychedelic background vid. Came out summer of 1968! Beach Boys really going hippie!
It's a great song. I couldn't have placed it by year. It's later - 1968 - than I would have thought. Great to hear it again.
best of the best.......will never ever stop playin your music!!!
Robin Sveen I know I will always listen to their great tunes
one of their best songs!!
Can't believe goons aren't commenting on the video. FANTASTIC!
Immer wieder ein Erlebnis und Erinnerungen
I grew up on this music, this my dad's favorite. I guessed it rubbed off on me
Well said Jeff.your dad has a taste for great music!!🇺🇸👌
love that fuzzy opening
jennifur sun: Me too. It's pretty unique....I've never heard anything quite like that on any other song.
+jennifur sun it's drums?

A retro sort of tune but the electronic opener and the guitar solo sounded funky and modern for the time.
Guys, this was #1 in England... great song, great band!

Is it better than "Hello it's Me"?!
Love this song 🎸🎻🎤🎧❤️Xx
one of my all-time favourites!
Mine, too!
Same here
Fun Unlimited! Heavenly Harmony and Brilliant Arrangement - Love / Wilson Genius!
I grew up there, and then--and you nailed it, stevieschnick! That's EXACTLY the beaches they're singing about--terrific job.
Pure California and here in Michigan I can't relate but I sure dug this record and always will!
One of the best songs ever. Transports you to good times and smiles. Props to the Beach Boys.
This song came out in November 2006
any time of the year...
dead winter even, 20 degrees outside...
this song comes on the radio in the car...
