Текст песни I Get Around

"I Get Around" is a song written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love for The Beach Boys. The song features Love on lead vocal for the verse, and Wilson for the chorus. It is noteworthy for its back to front structure - it starts with a chorus and has two short verses. It was a single which was released in 1964 through Capitol Records; the B-side of the single was "Don’t Worry Baby", which itself charted at number 24 in the United States. "I Get Around" was The Beach Boys' first number-one hit song in the United States. The single also charted at number seven in the United Kingdom, which was the band's first top ten single there. The song's first album release was on All Summer Long in 1964. In November 1969, the Wilson's father Murry Wilson, sold the copyrights to the band's songs to Irving Almo for approximately $700,000.[1] Many years later in April 1992, just after Brian Wilson had won a lawsuit which recovered many of the copyrights to his songs, Mike Love filed a lawsuit against Brian Wilson claiming that he had not been given credit, and therefore hadn't received royalties, on over thirty of the band's songs, many of them hit singles.[2] One of these songs was "I Get Around". The original credit only credited Wilson, but Love insisted that he had a hand in writing the lyrics. In an interview with Goldmine, published September 18, 1992, Love insisted that he and not Wilson "came up with 'round round get around'". Mike Love won the lawsuit and the song-writing credit was amended, therefore ensuring future royalties on all of the songs that he had claimed he had a hand in writing. * Knights in 1964 * The Catalinas in 1964 * The Surfriders in 1967 * Langley Schools Music Project in 1977 * Bakersfield Boogie Boys in 1980 * Papa Doo Run Run on their 1985 album California Project * Papa-O in 1994 * Trygve Thue in 1994 * Brian Wilson on his 2001 live album Live at the Roxy Theatre. * John B. & The Surfin´ Safaris in 2002 * Pennywise * Red Hot Chili Peppers, performed in concert in 2004 * Evan and Jaron also sang a cover version at An All Star Tribute to Brian Wilson in 2001, which was later released on DVD.
