Good Vibrations
Beach Boys · The Very Best of The Beach Boys
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
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
(Oom bop bop good vibrations)
She's giving me excitations
(Oom bop bop excitations)
Good good good good vibrations
(Oom bop bop)
She's giving me excitations
(Oom bop bop excitations)
Good good good good vibrations
(Oom bop bop)
She's giving me excitations
(Oom bop bop excitations)
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
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
(Oom bop bop good vibrations)
She's giving me excitations
(Oom bop bop excitations)
Good good good good vibrations
(Oom bop bop)
She's giving me excitations
(Oom bop bop excitations)
Good good good good vibrations
(Oom bop bop)
She's giving me excitations
(Oom bop bop excitations)
I don't know where, but she sends me there.
Gotta keep those a lovin good vibrations
A happenin' with her
Gotta keep...
Hum be dum hum be dum
Hum be dum hum be dum
(repeat Gotta keep.. 1X
Good good good good vibrations
(Oom bop bop)
(I'm pickin' up good vibrations)
She's giving me excitations
(Oom bop bop)

Good good good good vibrations
(Oom bop bop Exi)

Good Vibrations
Released in 1966, "Good Vibrations" stands as a landmark recording by The Beach Boys, marking a pivotal shift in their musical direction. Departing from their earlier surf rock and vocal harmony style, the track embraces a complex, psychedelic pop sound characterized by intricate instrumentation and innovative production techniques. Written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love, the song features a unique structure that blends orchestral arrangements with electric guitars, setting a new standard for studio experimentation in the mid-1960s. Its enduring legacy lies in its ability to transcend its era, influencing countless artists across multiple genres and cementing The Beach Boys' reputation as pioneers of modern pop music.
