Beach Boys Do it again 1969 Ed Sullivan

Beach Boys getting nostalgic for their surfing days. Inspired by hearing it on Boss Radio 66. 

Well, I've been thinking 'bout all the places
We've surfed and danced, and all the faces we've missed
So let's get back together and do it again
(Come on and do it)

I really like this one. Just lovely. The Wiki on the song is good.

"Yes, I suppose it has got the old Beach Boys surfing sound. It's back to that surfing idea with the voice harmony and the simple, direct melody and lyrics. We didn't plan the record as a return to the surf or anything. We just did it one day round a piano in the studio. Brian had the idea and played it over to us. We improved on that and recorded it very quickly, in about five minutes. It's certainly not an old track of ours; in fact it was recorded only a few weeks before it was released. We liked how it turned out and decided to release it.[4]"
