"Do Information technology Again" is a vocal past the American rock band the Embankment Boys that was released as unmarried on July 8, 1968.[iii] [4] It was written past Brian Wilson and Mike Beloved as a self-conscious callback to the group's earlier surf epitome, which they had not embraced since 1964. Dearest and Wilson as well share the atomic number 82 vocal on the song.

The song was issued only two weeks later the release of the ring's album Friends, with the album track "Wake the World" as its B-side. It reached number 20 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and became their 2nd number one hitting in the United kingdom. A slightly edited version of the song, using an excerpt from the Grinning outtake "Workshop", subsequently appeared every bit the opening track on the Beach Boys' 1969 album 20/20.

"Do Information technology Over again" has been rerecorded once by the ring (in 2011), one time by Wilson as a solo artist (in 1995), and twice by Love every bit a solo artist (in 1996 and 2017). The song was an influence on Neil Sedaka'south "Love Will Proceed Us Together" (1973), Eric Carmen's "She Did Information technology" (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 Again" is a cocky-conscious callback to the band's earlier surf-based material. Originally titled "Rendezvous", the lyrics to the song were inspired after a day Mike Beloved 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'due south lyrics of nostalgia. Brian stated that he believes the song was the all-time collaboration that he and Mike ever worked on.[5] Love commented, "He remembers it existence at my business firm. I remember information technology every bit being at his firm. He starts pounding at the piano, 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 fifteen minutes."[6] Other inspiration came from Hank Ballard's & The Midnighters 1960 song "Finger Poppin' Fourth dimension".[7] Carl Wilson recalled in Melody Maker:

Yes, I suppose it has got the old 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 plan the record as a return to the surf or anything. We just did it i day round a piano in the studio. Brian had the thought and played information technology over to us. We improved on that and recorded it very quickly, in virtually v minutes. It'due south certainly not an old rails of ours; in fact it was recorded only a few weeks before it was released. We liked how it 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 song. "I don't similar it etiher. I don't think that the group were entirely happy with it, but everyone else was going back 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 track. He explained that he had "commissioned Philips, in Holland, to build ii tape delay units for use on the road (to double live vocals). [he] moved four of the Philips PB heads very shut together and so that one drum strike was repeated four times nigh x milliseconds autonomously, and blended it with the original to requite the event you hear."[ citation needed ]. Drums were played past Dennis Wilson and session musician John Guerin; tambourine and wood blocks were too played by Guerin.[ix] [10]

Promotional film [edit]

A promotional film, directed by Peter Clifton, was shot in Los Angeles. The film, shot in colour, features the grouping pulling up in a van and visiting a surfing shop. The band then drives to the beach in their van and begins surfing. The get-go screenings of the promotional pic were shown on BBC Ane's Tiptop of the Pops during broadcasts of the show on August 8, 22 and 29. In Frg the promotional motion picture was shown in September during broadcasts of the Hits A Go Get show on ZDF Goggle box. The clip was afterwards featured in the 1969 Peter Clifton Australian surfing flick Fluid Journey.[4] An alternate promotional picture show for "Do Information technology Over again" was planned with the idea to feature special guest, Beatles member Paul McCartney as a clerk. Withal the idea was abandoned due to his busy schedule.[eleven]

Release [edit]

Released on July nineteen, 1968 in the United Kingdom the unmarried, forty days after its release, peaked at No. one on the UK Singles Nautical chart on August 28, 1968, and thus becoming the ring's second number 1 hit in the Great britain afterwards "Practiced Vibrations" two years before.[3] Dear remembered thinking that the vocal's success in United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland "was unbelievable. Information technology showed how many fans we had there and how attractive the whole California lifestyle is." When Friends was issued in Japan, "Do Information technology Again" was included in its rails list.[12] In Britain's Disc & Music Repeat, Penny Valentine praised the single:

This is a vast comeback on The Beach Boys' last unmarried, and thank goodness for it. It sounds like bees bustling on a summer breeze and is so completely solid; at that place 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 overnice to say the least, and a hit information technology volition nearly certainly be. I can imagine a few people will be muttering, "Well, she said they were finished," merely I didn't. I said they should get back to their competent, commercial sound and they have. So there.[4]

"Do It Over again" remained at the summit position for only 1 week, later on which it was supplanted by the Bee Gees' "I've Gotta Get a Message to Y'all".[3]

Influence and use in media [edit]

Neil Sedaka borrowed the chief riff from "Exercise Information technology Once again" for his own song "Love Volition Keep Us Together," a hitting for the Captain and Tennille.[thirteen]

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

ABBA's "On and On and On" (1980) was also influenced past "Do It Once more", and in response, Mike Honey recorded a cover version of the ABBA vocal for his 1981 album Looking Back with Honey.[17]

The opening pulsate line of "Do It Again" was sampled for "Remember" by French electronic duo Air on their album Moon Safari (1997).[18]
