"Exercise It Again" is a song by the American stone band the Embankment Boys that was released every bit single on July eight, 1968.[3] [iv] Information technology was written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love equally a self-conscious callback to the group's before surf epitome, which they had non embraced since 1964. Love and Wilson also share the pb vocal on the song.

The vocal was issued only two weeks after the release of the ring'southward anthology Friends, with the album track "Wake the Earth" as its B-side. It reached number 20 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and became their second number one hit in the UK. A slightly edited version of the song, using an excerpt from the Smile outtake "Workshop", after appeared as the opening rail on the Beach Boys' 1969 album 20/20.

"Do It Again" has been rerecorded in one case by the band (in 2011), once by Wilson as a solo creative person (in 1995), and twice by Dearest as a solo artist (in 1996 and 2017). The song was an influence on Neil Sedaka'southward "Dear Will Keep U.s.a. Together" (1973), Eric Carmen's "She Did It" (1977), ABBA'south "On and on and On" (1980), and Hall & Oates' "Did It in a Minute" (1982).

Background and recording [edit]

"Exercise Information technology Again" is a self-conscious callback to the band'due south earlier surf-based material. Originally titled "Rendezvous", the lyrics to the song were inspired after 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's lyrics of nostalgia. Brian stated that he believes the song was the best collaboration that he and Mike e'er worked on.[5] Love commented, "He remembers it being at my firm. I remember it every bit being at his business firm. He starts pounding at the pianoforte, I was summoning up the words and we got a chorus together, which was basically a agglomeration of doo-wop inspired harmonies. Nosotros created that whole song in xv minutes."[6] Other inspiration came from Hank Ballard'south & The Midnighters 1960 vocal "Finger Poppin' Fourth dimension".[7] Carl Wilson recalled in Tune Maker:

Aye, 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 tune and lyrics. We didn't plan the record every bit a return to the surf or anything. We but did information technology i day circular a piano in the studio. Brian had the idea and played it over to us. Nosotros improved on that and recorded it very quickly, in nigh five minutes. It's certainly not an old track of ours; in fact it was recorded simply a few weeks before information technology was released. We liked how it turned out and decided to release it.[five]

Conversely, Bruce Johnston told a reporter in September 1968 that he shared the reporter'south underwhelming stance of the vocal. "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, and so I suppose it was inevitable that nosotros should."[8]

During the mixdown, engineer Stephen Desper came up with the drum effect heard at the beginning of the track. He explained that he had "commissioned Philips, in Holland, to build two tape delay units for use on the road (to double live vocals). [he] moved four of the Philips Pb heads very close together so that ane drum strike was repeated four times well-nigh 10 milliseconds apart, and composite it with the original to give the effect you hear."[ commendation needed ]. Drums were played past Dennis Wilson and session musician John Guerin; tambourine and wood blocks were besides played by Guerin.[9] [10]

Promotional motion picture [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 ring so drives to the embankment in their van and begins surfing. The first screenings of the promotional film were shown on BBC I'southward Top of the Pops during broadcasts of the show on August eight, 22 and 29. In Germany the promotional moving picture was shown in September during broadcasts of the Hits A Go Become bear witness on ZDF TV. The clip was afterward featured in the 1969 Peter Clifton Australian surfing motion-picture show Fluid Journey.[4] An alternating promotional film for "Do Information technology Again" was planned with the idea to feature special guest, Beatles member Paul McCartney equally a clerk. However the thought was abandoned due to his decorated schedule.[eleven]

It showed how many fans we had there and how attractive the whole California lifestyle is." When Friends was issued in Nippon, "Do It Again" was included in its track list.[12] In Britain'due south Disc & Music Echo, Penny Valentine praised the single:

This is a vast comeback on The Beach Boys' last single, and thank goodness for it. It sounds like bees humming on a summer cakewalk and is so completely solid; there isn't room for a wing 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 dainty to say the to the lowest degree, and a striking it volition 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 become back to their competent, commercial sound and they have. So in that location.[4]

"Do It Once more" remained at the top position for only one week, later which it was supplanted by the Bee Gees' "I've Gotta Get a Bulletin to You".[3]

"Did It in a Minute", a 1982 hit by Hall & Oates, was in plow inspired past the 'did-its' in both songs.[15] [16]

ABBA's "On and On and On" (1980) was also influenced past "Do It Again", and in response, Mike Love recorded a encompass version of the ABBA song for his 1981 album Looking Dorsum with Love.[17]
