'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.

Well done on your Honourable Mention!✅ I especially like: “ Oratory literature keeps mine beating”
Love the heart reference here. Jump start indeed.
May your voice long be heard by more than just a few, nay, by more even than many.
I especially loved the alliteration in the third line. This was an awesomeeee Acrostic!
This is beautiful. Marilyn! Felt uplifting, like my own life force had a jump, aha. You always do such an incredible job with your writing, and it always feels like you put everything you have into every line. 😁
This is such a fine piece of wordsmithing! Each line is fantastic and they each progress so seamlessly! Really beautifully done, Marilyn!
