"Do Information technology Again" is a song 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 Honey as a cocky-witting callback to the group'south earlier surf image, which they had not embraced since 1964. Love and Wilson also share the pb vocal on the song.

The vocal was issued merely ii weeks after the release of the ring's album Friends, with the album rails "Wake the World" as its B-side. It reached number 20 on the U.South. Billboard Hot 100 and became their second number i hitting in the UK. A slightly edited version of the vocal, using an extract from the Smile outtake "Workshop", subsequently appeared as the opening track on the Beach Boys' 1969 anthology xx/twenty.

"Do It Once more" has been rerecorded in one case past the band (in 2011), once past Wilson equally a solo artist (in 1995), and twice past Love as a solo creative person (in 1996 and 2017). The song was an influence on Neil Sedaka's "Honey Will Keep Us Together" (1973), Eric Carmen's "She Did It" (1977), ABBA'due south "On and on and On" (1980), and Hall & Oates' "Did It in a Minute" (1982).

Background and recording [edit]

"Do Information technology Over again" is a cocky-conscious callback to the ring'southward earlier surf-based material. Originally titled "Rendezvous", the lyrics to the vocal were inspired afterward a day Mike Love had spent at the beach in which he had gone surfing with an sometime friend named Pecker Jackson.[5] Mike then showed the lyrics to his cousin Brian Wilson, who proceeded to write the music to Mike'southward lyrics of nostalgia. Brian stated that he believes the vocal was the all-time collaboration that he and Mike ever worked on.[v] Dearest commented, "He remembers it being at my house. I remember it as beingness at his firm. 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."[vi] Other inspiration came from Hank Ballard'south & The Midnighters 1960 song "Finger Poppin' Fourth dimension".[7] Carl Wilson recalled in Melody Maker:

Yes, I suppose it has got the old Embankment Boys surfing sound. It's back to that surfing idea with the voice harmony and the simple, direct tune and lyrics. We didn't plan the tape every bit a return to the surf or anything. Nosotros but did it one twenty-four hour period round a piano in the studio. Brian had the idea and played information technology over to us. We improved on that and recorded information technology very quickly, in most 5 minutes. It'due south certainly not an old rail of ours; in fact it was recorded but a few weeks before information technology was released. Nosotros liked how it turned out and decided to release information technology.[v]

Conversely, Bruce Johnston told a reporter in September 1968 that he shared the reporter's underwhelming stance of the vocal. "I don't similar it etiher. I don't think that the group were entirely happy with it, only anybody else was going dorsum to basics, so 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 runway. He explained that he had "commissioned Philips, in Kingdom of the netherlands, to build two record delay units for employ 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 near 10 milliseconds apart, and blended it with the original to requite the effect yous hear."[ citation needed ]. Drums were played by Dennis Wilson and session musician John Guerin; tambourine and wood blocks were also played by Guerin.[nine] [10]

Promotional film [edit]

A promotional film, directed past Peter Clifton, was shot in Los Angeles. The movie, shot in color, features the grouping pulling up 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 One's Top of the Pops during broadcasts of the show on August 8, 22 and 29. In Germany the promotional film was shown in September during broadcasts of the Hits A Go Go show on ZDF Tv set. The clip was afterward featured in the 1969 Peter Clifton Australian surfing moving picture Fluid Journeying.[iv] An alternate promotional film for "Exercise It 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 decorated schedule.[xi]

Release [edit]

Released on July 19, 1968 in the United Kingdom the single, forty days after its release, peaked at No. 1 on the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland Singles Chart on August 28, 1968, and thus becoming the band'south second number one hit in the U.k. after "Practiced Vibrations" two years earlier.[3] Love 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, "Practice It Again" was included in its track list.[12] In Britain's Disc & Music Repeat, Penny Valentine praised the unmarried:

This is a vast improvement on The Beach Boys' concluding single, and thank goodness for it. Information technology sounds like bees bustling on a summertime cakewalk and is then completely solid; at that place isn't room for a fly to pitter-patter in. Information technology goes on very gently and easily and is very, very pleasant. In a way it reminds me of i of the tracks off Pet Sounds, which is nice to say the least, and a hit information technology will almost certainly be. I 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. So in that location.[iv]

"Practice It Again" remained at the elevation position for only one week, later on which it was supplanted past the Bee Gees' "I've Gotta Get a Message to Yous".[iii]

Influence and utilise in media [edit]

Neil Sedaka borrowed the main riff from "Do It Again" for his ain vocal "Love Volition Proceed Us Together," a hit for the Captain and Tennille.[13]

"Did It in a Minute", a 1982 hit by Hall & Oates, was in turn inspired by the 'did-its' in both songs.[15] [16]

ABBA'due south "On and On and On" (1980) was also influenced by "Do Information technology Over again", and in response, Mike Dearest recorded a embrace version of the ABBA song for his 1981 album Looking Back with Love.[17]
