In africa,under the sun's warm glow,efe danced to the rhythm only she could know.A beauty as radiant as the savannah's grace,captivating all that beheld her.
But in her village,stories filled the air,saying love for a white man would lead to despair.Yet efe's heart knew no bounds,no devide,for in him,true love she did confide.
His pockets were empty,his stature humble and meek,yet his love for efe was genuine,unique.Together they stood,hand in hand,side by side,defying the odds,love as their guide.
For wealth isn't measured in coins or gold,but in the love that two souls boldly hold.Efe and her white man,a tale of love's true worth,a story of courage,defiance,and mirth.

'20/20'
"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.
