At the heavier end of Summer,
My phone rang 'bling bling blang',
I just answered, saw no reason to hang up and go,
Made me a bit sleepy yet not needy,
The minute I opened my eye,
I was above the Milky Way,
Far away heavenly from home,
Eight hundred forty thousand miles is creepy,
With the same mouth didn't wanna make me loud,
The call was from my sky friend Tom,
Had me over to have the summer bath,
In the Himalaya's lake, 'Anotatta',
I couldn't be better in a water-seated theater,
We dealt with mind in spirit,
My civil engineering friends with no fears,
They were marking trenches in light years,
My fellow electric engineering companions,
Were charging their thin own body,
From the electrostat surrounded,
Science gang was staring at me astounded,
Which made me ouch open my mouth,
Put me back on home's couch in a glimpse of the god's pouch

'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.
