Competing Senses
Who is the best? (sensational challenge)
Haven’t you seen chefs pondering,
The best way to arrange a lamb chop in
A plate, so the guests are slobbering
Therefore, I am the best, no need for haggling
-
But can you experience the wonderful scent?
Of the food in front, it must be torment
Sit there and watch. My pleasure lament
I am the best, to the experience augment
-
Are you serious? Do you think you’re my better?
You’ll never be able to taste that butter
Enjoying the succulent meat, sitting in utter
Amazement of the flavour, his shoulders shudder
-
I set the mood, the wonderful resonance
You can’t eat with musical dissonance
Enjoying the scene, increasing the reverence
Are you the best? Where’s the evidence
-
Would any of you even exist
If I wasn’t there to hold and subsist
The making of food, did you like getting dissed
I am the best. No please, I insist

"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.
