Good Vibrations

"Good Vibrations" is a pop single by The Beach Boys. The song was composed by and produced by Brian Wilson, with lyrics by Wilson and Mike Love. Released as a single on October 10, 1966 (backed with the Pet Sounds instrumental "Let's Go Away For Awhile"), it was the band's third U.S. number-one hit, after "I Get Around" and "Help Me, Rhonda", reaching the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart in December 1966, as well as being their first British chart-topper. Initiated during the sessions for the Pet Sounds album, it was not taken from or issued as a lead single for an album, but as a stand-alone single, and later placed on the album Smiley Smile eleven months after its release.

[Verse 1] I-I love the colorful clothes she wears And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair I hear the sound of a gentle word On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air [Chorus] I'm pickin' up good vibrations She's giving me excitations (Oom bop bop) I'm pickin' up good vibrations (Good vibrations, bop bop) She's giving me excitations (Excitations, bop bop) I'm pickin' up good vibrations (Good vibrations, bop bop) She's giving me excitations (Excitations, bop bop) I'm pickin' up good vibrations (Good vibrations, bop bop) She's giving me excitations (Excitations) [Verse 2] Close my eyes, she's somehow closer now Softly smile, I know she must be kind When I look in her eyes She goes with me to a blossom world [Chorus] I'm pickin' up good vibrations She's giving me excitations (Oom bop bop) I'm pickin' up good vibrations (Good vibrations, bop bop) She's giving me excitations (Excitations, bop bop) I'm pickin' up good vibrations (Good vibrations, bop bop) She's giving me excitations (Excitations, bop bop) I'm pickin' up good vibrations (Good vibrations, bop bop) She's giving me excitations (Exci - tations) [Outro] (Ahh) (Ah, my my, what elation) I don't know where but she sends me there (Oh, my my, what a sensation) (Oh, my my, what elation) (Oh, my my, what) Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations a-happenin' with her Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations a-happenin' with her Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations a-happenin' (Ahh) Good, good, good, good vibrations (Oom bop bop) (I'm pickin' up good vibrations) (Good vibrations bop bop) She's giving me excitations (Excitations, bop bop) Good, good, good, good vibrations Na na na na na, na na na Na na na na na, na na na (Ba da da, duh da, da) Na na na na na, na na na (Ba da da, duh da, da) Na na na na na, na na na (Ba da da, duh da, da)
