"Do Information technology Again" is a song past the American stone band the Beach Boys that was released as single on July 8, 1968.[3] [4] Information technology was written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love as a self-conscious callback to the group's earlier surf image, which they had non 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'southward album Friends, with the anthology track "Wake the Globe" as its B-side. It reached number 20 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and became their second number i hitting in the UK. A slightly edited version of the song, using an excerpt from the Smile outtake "Workshop", subsequently appeared every bit the opening rails on the Beach Boys' 1969 album 20/20.

"Practise It Once again" has been rerecorded once by the band (in 2011), one time by Wilson as a solo artist (in 1995), and twice past Love as a solo artist (in 1996 and 2017). The song was an influence on Neil Sedaka's "Love Will Go along United states of america Together" (1973), Eric Carmen's "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]

"Exercise It Once more" is a self-conscious callback to the ring's earlier surf-based textile. Originally titled "Rendezvous", the lyrics to the song were inspired subsequently a day Mike Love had spent at the beach in which he had gone surfing with an old 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 best collaboration that he and Mike always worked on.[5] Love commented, "He remembers it beingness at my house. I remember it as being at his house. He starts pounding at the piano, I was summoning upward the words and we got a chorus together, which was basically a agglomeration of doo-wop inspired harmonies. We created that whole song in fifteen minutes."[half dozen] Other inspiration came from Hank Ballard's & The Midnighters 1960 song "Finger Poppin' Time".[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 phonation harmony and the simple, directly melody and lyrics. We didn't plan the record as a return to the surf or anything. We just did information technology one day circular a piano in the studio. Brian had the idea and played it over to u.s.a.. We improved on that and recorded information technology very apace, in about five minutes. Information technology's certainly not an sometime track of ours; in fact it was recorded merely a few weeks before it was released. We liked how information technology turned out and decided to release information technology.[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 it etiher. I don't call back that the group were entirely happy with information technology, but everyone else was going dorsum to basics, then I suppose it was inevitable that we should."[8]

During the mixdown, engineer Stephen Desper came up with the pulsate effect heard at the beginning of the track. He explained that he had "commissioned Philips, in Holland, to build 2 record filibuster units for apply on the route (to double alive vocals). [he] moved four of the Philips Atomic number 82 heads very shut together and then that one drum strike was repeated four times nearly 10 milliseconds autonomously, and blended information technology with the original to give the event yous hear."[ citation needed ].

Promotional film [edit]

A promotional picture, directed past Peter Clifton, was shot in Los Angeles. The pic, shot in colour, features the group pulling upwardly in a van and visiting a surfing store. The band then drives to the beach in their van and begins surfing. The first screenings of the promotional film were shown on BBC One's Top of the Pops during broadcasts of the show on Baronial 8, 22 and 29. In Germany the promotional motion picture was shown in September during broadcasts of the Hits A Go Go show on ZDF TV. The clip was later featured in the 1969 Peter Clifton Australian surfing film Fluid Journeying.[4] An alternate promotional film for "Exercise Information technology Again" was planned with the idea to characteristic special guest, Beatles member Paul McCartney equally a clerk. However the thought was abased due to his busy schedule.[9]

Release [edit]

Released on July 19, 1968 in the United Kingdom the single, forty days later on its release, peaked at No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart on August 28, 1968, and thus becoming the band'southward 2d number one hit in the United Kingdom after "Good Vibrations" two years earlier.[iii] Beloved remembered thinking that the vocal's success in Britain "was unbelievable. Information technology showed how many fans we had at that place and how bonny the whole California lifestyle is." When Friends was issued in Japan, "Do It Once again" was included in its track list.[10] In Britain'southward Disc & Music Echo, Penny Valentine praised the single:

This is a vast improvement on The Beach Boys' terminal single, and give thanks goodness for information technology. Information technology sounds like bees humming on a summer breeze and is 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 style it reminds me of one of the tracks off Pet Sounds, which is nice to say the least, and a hit information technology volition most certainly exist. I can imagine a few people volition exist muttering, "Well, she said they were finished," but I didn't. I said they should get dorsum to their competent, commercial sound and they have. So there.[four]

"Practice Information technology Again" remained at the top position for simply one week, after which information technology was supplanted by the Bee Gees' "I've Gotta Get a Bulletin to Yous".[3]

Influence and use in media [edit]

Neil Sedaka borrowed the principal riff from "Do Information technology Again" for his own vocal "Love Will Continue Us Together," a hitting for the Captain and Tennille.[eleven]

Eric Carmen credited the "did-its" in this song with being the initial inspiration for his 1977 Top 40 hitting, "She Did Information technology".[12] Bruce Johnston of the Embankment Boys also participated in the production and vocals of Carmen'south vocal. "Did It in a Minute", a 1982 hitting past Hall & Oates, was in plough inspired past the 'did-its' in both songs.[thirteen] [xiv]

ABBA's "On and On and On" (1980) was also influenced by "Do It Once more", and in response, Mike Dearest recorded a embrace version of the ABBA song for his 1981 anthology Looking Back with Love.[15]

The opening drum line of "Do It Once again" was sampled for "Remember" by French electronic duo Air on their anthology Moon Safari (1997).[16]
