Brian Wilson's Reaction to 'I Get Around' Surpassing the Beatles on the Music Charts

The Beach Boys became one of the most popular groups in the early 1960s — topping the music charts alongside the Beatles. Here’s what Brian Wilson said about their first original that reached No. 1, “I Get Around” on Billboard’s Pop chart. 

They get around — from town to town. The Beach Boys are the band behind “I Get Around,” a track written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love. The “doo-wop” surf rock track was initially included on the 1964 album All Summer Long and further detailed this group’s affinity for cars.

“I’m gettin’ bugged driving up and down the same old strip,” the first verse states. “I gotta find a new place where the kids are hip / My buddies and me are getting real well known / Yeah, the bad guys know us and they leave us alone.”
