"Practise It Once again" is a song by the American rock ring the Embankment Boys that was released as single on July 8, 1968.[3] [4] It was written past Brian Wilson and Mike Love as a self-conscious callback to the grouping's before surf image, which they had not embraced since 1964. Dearest and Wilson also share the lead song on the song.
The song was issued merely two weeks after the release of the band'due south album Friends, with the album runway "Wake the Earth" as its B-side. It reached number 20 on the U.Due south. Billboard Hot 100 and became their 2nd number one hit 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", later appeared as the opening rails on the Beach Boys' 1969 anthology 20/20.
"Practice It Over again" has been rerecorded once by the ring (in 2011), once by Wilson every bit a solo artist (in 1995), and twice by Honey as a solo creative person (in 1996 and 2017). The song was an influence on Neil Sedaka's "Honey Will Keep Us Together" (1973), Eric Carmen'due south "She Did It" (1977), ABBA's "On and on and On" (1980), and Hall & Oates' "Did It in a Minute" (1982).
Background and recording [edit]
"Do It Again" is a self-witting callback to the band'southward earlier surf-based material. Originally titled "Rendezvous", the lyrics to the song were inspired subsequently a twenty-four hours Mike Dear had spent at the beach in which he had gone surfing with an erstwhile friend named Bill Jackson.[v] Mike and then showed the lyrics to his cousin Brian Wilson, who proceeded to write the music to Mike'south lyrics of nostalgia. Brian stated that he believes the song was the best collaboration that he and Mike always worked on.[5] Beloved commented, "He remembers it being at my house. I call up it every bit 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 15 minutes."[6] Other inspiration came from Hank Ballard's & The Midnighters 1960 song "Finger Poppin' Time".[7] Carl Wilson recalled in Melody Maker:
Yes, I suppose information technology has got the old Embankment Boys surfing sound. Information technology's dorsum to that surfing thought with the voice harmony and the simple, directly melody and lyrics. We didn't programme the record as a render to the surf or annihilation. Nosotros only did it i day round a piano in the studio. Brian had the idea and played it over to us. We improved on that and recorded information technology very quickly, in about five minutes. It's certainly not an old track of ours; in fact it was recorded only a few weeks earlier information technology was released. Nosotros liked how it turned out and decided to release it.[v]
Conversely, Bruce Johnston told a reporter in September 1968 that he shared the reporter's underwhelming opinion of the song. "I don't like it etiher. I don't call back that the group were entirely happy with it, but everyone else was going dorsum to nuts, so I suppose information technology was inevitable that we should."[8]
During the mixdown, engineer Stephen Desper came upwards with the drum effect heard at the beginning of the track. He explained that he had "commissioned Philips, in Holland, to build ii tape delay units for utilise on the route (to double live vocals). [he] moved four of the Philips Atomic number 82 heads very close together so that one drum strike was repeated 4 times about 10 milliseconds apart, and composite it with the original to give the upshot you hear."[ commendation needed ].
Promotional film [edit]
A promotional picture show, directed by Peter Clifton, was shot in Los Angeles. The motion picture, shot in color, features the group pulling upwardly in a van and visiting a surfing store. The band then drives to the embankment in their van and begins surfing. The first screenings of the promotional movie were shown on BBC One's Superlative of the Pops during broadcasts of the bear witness on August 8, 22 and 29. In Federal republic of germany the promotional film was shown in September during broadcasts of the Hits A Go Become testify on ZDF TV. The clip was later featured in the 1969 Peter Clifton Australian surfing pic Fluid Journey.[4] An alternate promotional flick for "Practice It Once more" was planned with the idea to feature special guest, Beatles member Paul McCartney equally a clerk. All the same the idea was abandoned due to his busy schedule.[9]
Release [edit]
Released on July 19, 1968 in the United Kingdom the single, 40 days after its release, peaked at No. 1 on the UK Singles Nautical chart on August 28, 1968, and thus becoming the band'south 2nd number one hit in the Great britain after "Proficient Vibrations" ii years before.[iii] Love remembered thinking that the song'south success in Britain "was unbelievable. It showed how many fans nosotros had there and how bonny the whole California lifestyle is." When Friends was issued in Nihon, "Do It Once again" was included in its rails list.[10] In Uk's Disc & Music Repeat, Penny Valentine praised the single:
This is a vast improvement on The Beach Boys' last unmarried, and thank goodness for it. It sounds like bees humming on a summer cakewalk and is so completely solid; at that place 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 nice to say the least, and a hit it will most certainly be. I can imagine a few people will be muttering, "Well, she said they were finished," only I didn't. I said they should get dorsum to their competent, commercial sound and they have. So there.[4]
"Do It Again" remained at the summit position for only one week, after which it was supplanted past the Bee Gees' "I've Gotta Get a Message to You".[3]
Influence and apply in media [edit]
Neil Sedaka borrowed the primary riff from "Exercise It Over again" for his own vocal "Love Will Keep The states Together," a striking for the Captain and Tennille.[11]
Eric Carmen credited the "did-its" in this song with being the initial inspiration for his 1977 Top 40 hitting, "She Did It".[12] Bruce Johnston of the Beach Boys also participated in the production and vocals of Carmen'south song. "Did It in a Infinitesimal", a 1982 hit by Hall & Oates, was in turn inspired by the 'did-its' in both songs.[thirteen] [14]
ABBA's "On and On and On" (1980) was also influenced by "Do Information technology Again", and in response, Mike Love recorded a cover version of the ABBA song for his 1981 album Looking Back with Love.[15]
