"Do It Again" is a song by the American stone ring the Beach Boys that was released as single on July eight, 1968.[three] [4] It was written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love as a self-witting 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.
The song was issued only two weeks after the release of the band'south album Friends, with the album track "Wake the World" as its B-side. It reached number 20 on the U.Due south. Billboard Hot 100 and became their 2nd number ane striking in the UK. A slightly edited version of the song, using an excerpt from the Smile outtake "Workshop", afterwards appeared as the opening track on the Beach Boys' 1969 album 20/20.
"Do Information technology Once more" has been rerecorded once by the ring (in 2011), once by Wilson as a solo artist (in 1995), and twice by Love as a solo creative person (in 1996 and 2017). The song was an influence on Neil Sedaka's "Love Will Keep Us Together" (1973), Eric Carmen'due south "She Did It" (1977), ABBA's "On and on and On" (1980), and Hall & Oates' "Did Information technology in a Minute" (1982).
Background and recording [edit]
"Do It Once again" is a self-witting callback to the band's earlier surf-based textile. Originally titled "Rendezvous", the lyrics to the song were inspired afterwards a day Mike Love had spent at the beach in which he had gone surfing with an former friend named Bill 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 song was the best collaboration that he and Mike ever worked on.[five] Love commented, "He remembers it being at my house. I remember it as being at his firm. He starts pounding at the pianoforte, I was summoning upwardly the words and we got a chorus together, which was basically a bunch of doo-wop inspired harmonies. We created that whole vocal in fifteen minutes."[6] Other inspiration came from Hank Ballard'south & The Midnighters 1960 song "Finger Poppin' Time".[vii] Carl Wilson recalled in Melody Maker:
Yes, I suppose information technology has got the old Beach Boys surfing sound. It's back to that surfing idea with the voice harmony and the unproblematic, direct melody and lyrics. Nosotros didn't plan the tape equally a return to the surf or anything. Nosotros just did it one day circular a piano in the studio. Brian had the idea and played it over to united states. Nosotros improved on that and recorded it very quickly, in about v minutes. It's certainly not an old rail of ours; in fact it was recorded merely a few weeks before it was released. We liked how it turned out and decided to release it.[5]
Conversely, Bruce Johnston told a reporter in September 1968 that he shared the reporter'south underwhelming opinion of the song. "I don't like information technology etiher. I don't retrieve that the group were entirely happy with information technology, but anybody else was going dorsum to basics, so I suppose it was inevitable that we should."[8]
During the mixdown, engineer Stephen Desper came up with the drum outcome heard at the beginning of the track. He explained that he had "commissioned Philips, in Holland, to build two record filibuster 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 about 10 milliseconds apart, and blended it with the original to give the effect you hear."[ commendation needed ].
Promotional film [edit]
A promotional film, directed by Peter Clifton, was shot in Los Angeles. The film, shot in color, features the group 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 commencement screenings of the promotional pic were shown on BBC One's Top of the Pops during broadcasts of the testify on August 8, 22 and 29. In Deutschland the promotional picture show was shown in September during broadcasts of the Hits A Go Go bear witness on ZDF TV. The clip was afterwards featured in the 1969 Peter Clifton Australian surfing flick Fluid Journey.[iv] An alternating promotional film for "Do It Again" was planned with the idea to feature special guest, Beatles member Paul McCartney as a clerk. However the idea was abandoned due to his decorated schedule.[9]
Release [edit]
Released on July 19, 1968 in the United Kingdom the unmarried, forty days afterwards its release, peaked at No. 1 on the Great britain Singles Chart on August 28, 1968, and thus condign the band's 2d number ane hitting in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland after "Expert Vibrations" 2 years earlier.[3] Love remembered thinking that the vocal'south success in Great britain "was unbelievable. It showed how many fans nosotros had there and how bonny the whole California lifestyle is." When Friends was issued in Japan, "Do It Again" was included in its rails list.[x] In Great 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 information technology. It sounds like bees humming on a summer breeze and is and so completely solid; there isn't room for a fly to creep in. It goes on very gently and easily and is very, very pleasant. In a fashion it reminds me of 1 of the tracks off Pet Sounds, which is nice to say the least, and a hit it volition most certainly be. I tin imagine a few people volition be muttering, "Well, she said they were finished," but I didn't. I said they should become back to their competent, commercial audio and they have. And so at that place.[4]
"Exercise It Once again" remained at the top position for only ane week, afterward which it was supplanted past the Bee Gees' "I've Gotta Get a Message to Y'all".[three]

Neil Sedaka borrowed the main riff from "Do It Again" for his own vocal "Dear Will Keep The states Together," a striking for the Captain and Tennille.[11]

"Did It in a Minute", a 1982 hit past Hall & Oates, was in turn inspired by the 'did-its' in both songs.[13] [14]
