Oh chicken oh chicken you feathered beast
Messy and loud but cuddly and sweet
Your crows and squawks are music in the wind
Jumpy and quick, you leap, but don’t fly
With your strong sense of freedom you look to the sky
Egg laying hens and protective roosters
All together in one tight knit flock
Scratching and pecking you scrounge through the dirt
Meat, eggs, or companionship your life has so much worth
There’s no bird better fit to wreak havoc on this earth
From the early morning dew to the late night moon
You make sure everyone knows you exist
Your noise and your endeavors taking place in your coop
You peck and fight and jump and bathe truly making a house a home
You bring life to the party from your talons to your bright lumpy comb
Out of all the avian lives on this rock we live
You’re the one whose company I most enjoy
Fluffy colorful feathers, and majestic almost useless wings
With so many breeds I can’t have just one
It’s every day and every night, that you make so much fun

'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.
