"Exercise Information technology Again" is a song by the American rock ring the Embankment Boys that was released as single on July eight, 1968.[3] [4] It was written past Brian Wilson and Mike Love as a self-conscious callback to the grouping's earlier surf paradigm, which they had not embraced since 1964. Love and Wilson also share the lead vocal on the song.
The song was issued just 2 weeks after the release of the band's anthology Friends, with the album track "Wake the World" as its B-side. It reached number twenty on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and became their second number i hitting in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland. 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 album 20/20.
"Do It Again" has been rerecorded in one case past the band (in 2011), one time past Wilson every bit a solo artist (in 1995), and twice past Dear as a solo creative person (in 1996 and 2017). The vocal was an influence on Neil Sedaka's "Love Volition Keep The states Together" (1973), Eric Carmen's "She Did It" (1977), ABBA's "On and on and On" (1980), and Hall & Oates' "Did It in a Minute" (1982).
Groundwork and recording [edit]
"Exercise It Once more" is a self-conscious callback to the band'south earlier surf-based textile. Originally titled "Rendezvous", the lyrics to the song were inspired after a 24-hour interval Mike Beloved 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 vocal was the best collaboration that he and Mike ever worked on.[5] Honey commented, "He remembers it being at my house. I recall it equally 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 agglomeration 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:
Aye, I suppose it has got the onetime Embankment Boys surfing sound. It'southward back to that surfing idea with the voice harmony and the uncomplicated, direct melody and lyrics. We didn't plan the record equally a return to the surf or anything. Nosotros but did it one twenty-four hours round a piano in the studio. Brian had the idea and played it over to usa. We improved on that and recorded it very quickly, in well-nigh five minutes. It'south certainly non an old track of ours; in fact it was recorded just a few weeks earlier information technology was released. We liked how it turned out and decided to release information technology.[5]
Conversely, Bruce Johnston told a reporter in September 1968 that he shared the reporter'due south underwhelming opinion of the song. "I don't similar information technology etiher. I don't think that the grouping were entirely happy with it, but everyone else was going back to nuts, then I suppose information technology was inevitable that nosotros 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 Kingdom of the netherlands, to build two tape delay units for use on the road (to double alive vocals). [he] moved iv of the Philips PB heads very close together and then that i pulsate strike was repeated four times nearly 10 milliseconds apart, and blended it with the original to requite the effect you hear."[ commendation needed ].
Promotional motion picture [edit]
A promotional film, directed by Peter Clifton, was shot in Los Angeles. The pic, 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 picture show were shown on BBC 1's Top of the Pops during broadcasts of the testify on Baronial eight, 22 and 29. In Germany the promotional film was shown in September during broadcasts of the Hits A Go Go evidence on ZDF Goggle box. The clip was later featured in the 1969 Peter Clifton Australian surfing motion-picture show Fluid Journey.[4] An alternate promotional film for "Do It Again" was planned with the thought to feature special guest, Beatles fellow member Paul McCartney every bit a clerk. However the idea was abased due to his busy schedule.[9]
Release [edit]
Released on July 19, 1968 in the Great britain the single, forty days afterwards its release, peaked at No. ane on the UK Singles Nautical chart on August 28, 1968, and thus becoming the band's second number 1 striking in the United Kingdom after "Good Vibrations" two years earlier.[3] Dear remembered thinking that the song'southward 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, "Do Information technology Once more" was included in its track listing.[x] In Britain'southward Disc & Music Echo, Penny Valentine praised the single:
This is a vast comeback on The Beach Boys' terminal unmarried, and thank goodness for information technology. It sounds similar bees humming on a summer breeze and is so completely solid; there isn't room for a wing to pitter-patter in. Information technology goes on very gently and easily and is very, very pleasant. In a way it reminds me of ane of the tracks off Pet Sounds, which is dainty to say the to the lowest degree, and a hit it will most certainly exist. I tin imagine a few people will be muttering, "Well, she said they were finished," but I didn't. I said they should go back to their competent, commercial audio and they accept. And then there.[iv]
"Practise It Again" remained at the top position for only i week, after which it was supplanted by the Bee Gees' "I've Gotta Become a Message to You".[3]
Influence and employ in media [edit]
Neil Sedaka borrowed the master riff from "Do It Again" for his own song "Love Will Keep U.s. Together," a hit for the Captain and Tennille.[xi]
Eric Carmen credited the "did-its" in this song with being the initial inspiration for his 1977 Superlative twoscore hitting, "She Did It".[12] Bruce Johnston of the Beach Boys as well participated in the production and vocals of Carmen's vocal. "Did Information technology in a Infinitesimal", a 1982 striking by Hall & Oates, was in plough inspired past the 'did-its' in both songs.[13] [14]
ABBA's "On and On and On" (1980) was also influenced past "Practise It Again", and in response, Mike Beloved recorded a cover version of the ABBA song for his 1981 album Looking Back with Dear.[15]
