Wait. What? Why? They JUST did Do It Again when the BBs reunited. Does Mike have an original idea in his head, ever? Every time Mike re-emerges into the market, it's Do It Again, because he's doing it again. Clever.

Ha good point! His follow up single to this should be called Do 'Do It Again' Again.

Okay I really wanted to give this the benefit of the doubt, find the good parts and enjoy them. Mission impossible.

JK, be thankful this isn’t available in your country. I’m betting that it wasn’t a copyright issue at all; some diplomat probably got an early listen and decided it was in your country’s best interest to have this thing shitcanned before it could hit the airwaves. Mike’s gonna be out there with his own rickety pirate radio boat trying to get anyone to listen to this new single...you’ll never see more people come together in unity as they turn their radios off.

Seriously, Foskett sounds like he heard the final backing track and put in an equal amount of fucks as the musicians did. His voice sounds flat in places, and it sounds like he did everything in one take.

Also, Mark McGrath who?? Is he a huge Beach Boys fan or something?

“Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it” and the autotune. As the song progresses the autotune gets exponentially worse. “It makes your nighttime’s warm and outta sight” - At this point it reaches Joe Thomas’ ‘the-C50-can-go-straight-to-hell’ levels...Only somehow it surpasses Joe’s C50 album fuckery and enters a whole new bizarre universe of electronic blitzkrieg. Whoever had their hands on the autotune dial, expect a call from LucasFilms with a job offer from their robotics sound department.

Part of me hopes this isn’t tethered to a new album by Mike, because I don’t think the world is ready for this very unique sound. The other part of me could use a good laugh on par with ‘Summer In Paradise’.

To the guys who made that pathetic attempt to convince us that Carl produced most of Wild Honey: be thankful you didn’t instead choose Mike for that lie as after this single no one would believe he’s had any experience at all with production or a sound board.

It occurs to me that had Mike been the leader of the Beach Boys, their entire career would have been remakes of Surfin' Safari, just to capture that sound (and dollar) again and again and again and again...

This is the guy who has spent years convinced that if he and Brian just got into a room, they'd make a great hit. And yet, he keeps proving that he's out of ideas. He couldn't have tried to come up with something new?

Also, Mark McGrath hasn't had a hit in 20 years. I don't measure the quality of someone's output based on hits, but McGrath isn't exactly some wonderful underground musician either.

Yeah, I’m not getting the Do It Again schtick...are you planning on suing Brian again? Or giving away this album on QVC again because no one will buy it?

As for the Brian/piano/room thing: Mike proved this excuse was a complete farce in a recent interview when he whined about the room thing then went on to brag about how he wrote the lyrics to Good Vibrations in his car without Brian on the way to the studio. Mike must think the people reading his interviews are complete idiots who don’t give his statements a second thought outside of “wow Brian and his supposed handlers suck”.

The hell with this.  I just wanna hear that "Britney Spears'" styled version of "Surfin'" they allegedly recorded back in the late 90's. 

Huh?!!!!!!

ok, you're joking, right? Don't make fun of me, you couldn't put it past them!

In the late 90s, Bruce mentioned that he was working on this.  I can't remember where I read it, maybe it was on the Beach Boys Britain message board.

That was awful. The autotune was slathered on with the technique of a drunk hot dog vendor putting on sabrett onions.

He does it for his own "nourishment and revenge".  He said it.  He does it.  Why is everyone so friggin' surprised?  It's a litany of wrong moves...always made over and over and...over.  Do it again is the follically challenged cousin's mantra.  "Nourishment and revenge" the driving force.

I used to suggest that the festering mess known as Mike Love needed a PR company to set him on a course which would work for HIM first and the "brand" second.  He wants no part of that.  He's just a tad [or 3] sick.  Sick with envy, jealousy, short dick syndrome and an oh-so-expanded view of his own talent and abilities.

The only thing that will help this loyalty challenged doofus from being the on-going goofus he obviously is is to retire him him from fronting the Beached Boys.  His service was long ago rendered.  Now?  He's just a gigantic sh*t...wearing a hat.

[And no...I did not, would not and will not listen to it.  Why would I f*** with something which was once considered to be really, REALLY good?  Eh Mike?]

For the win! EXACTLY!

Like I said, can anyone name another artist with the stature of the Beach Boys who would put out something like this DIA rerecord in 2017? No less with some clown doing that nu-metal "DO IT, DO IT..." bullshit throughout the track?

Mike could call Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit to join McGrath next time, maybe they can do Pisces Brothers and the Durst/McGrath vocal duo can yell "I MISS YA", "HARE KRISHNA", "PRECIOUS MOMENTS" and various Unnhhh and Huhhhh grunts in between Mike's vocals.

Never mind the autotune for now...DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! Oh, FEELS GOOD!

What the serious f*** is this?

Haha, I was just about to say the same thing. Sounds like Stamos to me. Just what the song always needed, huh? Maybe someone on the other side of him was telling somebody not to drive because they were too drunk. "Do it, do it! Yeah! HUnh!"

Anyway who really gives a sh*t. It'll be forgotten in 2 weeks along with NASCAR and Santa's Going To Do Some Blow.

Just keep repeating to yourself SUNSHINE TOMORROW. SUNSHINE TOMORROW. SUNSHINE TOMORROW. There. Better.

It is sad that Mike must just throw his hands up and go, 'sure' at any opportunity. I mean who is this for? Is this......is this for us?! Does he think we want this? Does he think a super casual fan will go 'hey, I love that one Beach Boys song 'Do It Again'' and will go on Spotify and THIS will be the version they listen to? Do It Again...and Again....And Again...And....hey, isn't doing this and expecting different results the dictionary definition of insanity? Sweet insanity.

f*** me this is awful. I'm actually listening. Ugh. Lordy. Beautiful new archival release out showcasing TBB as a band to be taken seriously and this steaming sweaty thrice regurgitated turd has to be laid over the top of it.

Mike, it's time for a bit of an intervention mate. Wearing your own band's merch is naff enough but when it comes to solo....? You look like your mam was scared one of the school bullies would nick your hat so she stitched your name into it and got a bit carried away cause of her needlepoint class.

Here's a bit of a poser for everyone - what would it take for Mike Love to accept that the Beach Boys fanbase don't actually like John Stamos. At all? He's barely even famous anymore. At this point it'd be like if Paul McCartney wheeled out Tony Danza and expected a reception that would bring the roof in while he let him sing lead on one of George's cuts.

This

I wonder if the Kokomaoist response to that question would be "when Brian stops bringing John Cusack onstage."
