This week is all about The Beach Boys..but if you miss The Doors I could always do something about that...but The Beach Boys were actually Jim Morrisons favorite group.
Here are The Beach Boys
I get around
Like most early Beach Boys songs, this does not have deep lyrical content. It's a fun song about a teenage lifestyle in Southern California featuring friends, girls and cars.
I get around was The Beach Boys first #1 in their own country ("Surfin' Safari" went to #1 in Sweden 2 years earlier). Father-manager Murry Wilson and therefore his beleaguered son Brian despaired over not hitting the top spot in the US, coming off second best first to the Four Seasons through 1962 and into '63, then to Jan & Dean when they got to #1 that summer with "Surf City" - a song Brian Wilson wrote.
This was released as a double A-side single in May 1964 with "Don't Worry Baby." It is considered one of the best ever single releases along with Hound Dog/Don't bea Cruel by Elvis Presley.
This was The Beach Boys real breakthrough in the UK, reaching #7 in a chart that for months had seen only British faces. It was also #1 in Canada and New Zealand.
