"I Get Around" - The Beach Boys

I had my students analyze this number one song from 1964 in class today.  It’s Brian Wilson at his best in my opinion.  Everything from the harmonic progression, to the song form, to the experimental use of fuzz and reverb on the guitars (the first #1 song to do so) is just amazing.  This blogger has some great things to say about why this song is so great.  It’s a great listen and a great read.  Enjoy!

I love a good break-up song!  This is one of my favorites.  What’s one of yours?  Faith Hill’s vocal range here is pushed to the limit, delivering on a sound that marries beautifully with the lyric and message of this song, not to mention the title!
