"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.

Dear Elizabeth - Obviously, I'm not an atta-girl/boy guy. So, I feel the need to blab a bit about 'bites'; please ask me to delete if I'm being annoying. You have a lotta guts to be a middle school teacher - it sparks a memory. I was THE most incorrigible in Jr. High, ever. I had my name embossed on a chair in the V.P.'s office (probably still there). My only redeeming value was a story I wrote in Bone-Head English, receiving my only A+ ever. I've revised the story with our VocalBuckets, Kristen 'The Llama & Koala'. Currently, I instruct 'bigger kids' Pro Bono via Zoom. But, Elizabeth, they all say they know more than me; perhaps you can relate? Thank you for the nice memo. Please direct me to a couple of your favorite stories; we all have them. I would like to boost you up on 'Shout Out' if that would be okay with you. jay.in.l.a.
Keep up the great work!"
Lol, this was definitely relatable! I loved it!
