Your dad breaks rules and creates them
Your dad would break a rule to create one
Your dad’s wife showed him how his dreams look
Your dad had stories before he could read books
Your dad has made more mistakes than the average man
Your dad probably threw his best poems in the garbage can
Your dad has never been too intoxicated
Your dad believes the world is just approximations
Your dad will cry with you before he knows what’s wrong
Your dad might be the reason you chose your favorite song
Your dad wishes his dad got to be an elder
Your dad cherishes every moment spent together
Your dad saw the world more than he ever needed
Your dad smiled even when he was defeated
Your dad knows that love can never disappear
Your dad did all he could while he was living here…

'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.
