The song of the day is do it again by the Beach boys. The song was written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love. Produced by Wilson as a self-conscious callback to the bands earlier surf-based material, the song was released as a single on July 8, 1968, and subsequently placed on the bands 1969 album, 20/20. The singles B-side, Wake the World, is taken from Friends, released the month before. Do It Again is a self-conscious callback to the bands earlier surf-based material. The lyrics to the song, originally entitled Rendezvous, 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. Mike then showed the lyrics to his cousin Brian Wilson, who proceeded to write the music to Mikes lyrics of nostalgia. Brian has stated in the past that he believes the song was the best collaboration that he and Mike ever worked on. n 2013, Love noted, I came back from a surfing trip with some high school buddies and said: Hey Brian, I just went to the beach and the waves and the girls were great. Weve got to do a song called Do It Again. He remembers it being at my house. I remember it as being at his house. He starts pounding at the piano, I was summoning up the words and we got a chorus together, which was basically a bunch of doo-wop inspired harmonies. We created that whole song in fifteen minutes. Carl Wilson Yes, I suppose it has got the old Beach Boys surfing sound. Its back to that surfing idea with the voice harmony and the simple, direct melody and lyrics. We didnt plan the record as a return to the surf or anything. We just did it one day round a piano in the studio. Brian had the idea and played it over to us. We improved on that and recorded it very quickly, in about five minutes. Its certainly not an old track of ours; in fact it was recorded only a few weeks before it was released. We liked how it turned out and decided to release it. https://youtube/watch?v=9IWYmo2LceE
