The Beach Boys – Do It Again

It's automatic when I
Talk with old friends
The conversation turns to
Girls we knew when
Their hair was soft and long
And the beach was the place to go

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, long, long, long
Been, been, been, been, been
Been, been, been, been, been

Been so long

Hey now, hey now, 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

    General CommentAlthough the sound quality could be better, this is such a great song by the Beach Boys, definately one of their 'best of the best'. Although many hardcore fans disagree, by 1968 the Beach Boys weren't recording good music as much anymore, but this one stands way out from the rest (along with "I Can Hear Music" from the same album: "20/20"). "Do It Again" is pretty much the anthem for getting the old friends back together and starting up summertime. It charted at #20.

    General CommentOne of the most charismatic song of the boys I would say,I literally adore the guitar solo after the line "...been so long.." and the attitude of the entire tune;casually notice that the synth opening for the song is briefly similar to the one of "don't worry baby"...."20/20" lp is a masterpiece!
