Do u ever think about the "one"?
That got away? U ever wonder what cud have been?
If only? U ever wonder what wud have been if u refused to give in?
If u had followed them? U ever think how it must feel?
Did u ever wonder if u cud be so lucky that you'd be given a second
Chance and the "one" turn into "two"? Did u ever sit and look askance
At another "one" and feel the pain of love undone?
Did u ever feel in the sea of love, ur an island in the sun?
Where no "ones" been..ur a sight unseen?
Do u ever feel you've done such wrong,
That "one" you'll never be?
Do u ever feel time on ur tail?
Makes ur world seem so frail?
Do u ever wonder about the "one",
Where they are,
What they've done?
You ever wonder if you will ever be THE "one"?
Worse..ever think maybe u were the "one"
And u were the one that got away?
Ever?

'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.
