The Beach Boys - Getcha Back

[vrny1975]

good post, very nostalgic tune...

[FunkMasterRio]

This would be on my top 50 all time faverite oldies list but it's not quite one yet. Also this vid has such a fine storyline that it seems it could of been made for a movie.

[Mariano81478]

Hola.Da la casualidad de que a mi me ha pasado lo mismo que a ti,exactamente igual.Llevaba 25 años con esta cancion en la cabeza y hoy 26 de enero del 2012 por fin he dado con ella

[SincerelyMyleneS]

I wanna belt that makes me dance....... and a water zorb bubble :]

[201107081752]

Believe it or not but I've had the images of this video going around in my head for 26 years and was never able to work out what the song was. I finally solved it today. It's like sweet mercy!

[WilsonVanGarneau]

Great video!

[jimemusic]

San Diego, 1985!!!

[metzengerstein86]

A great Band, a great theme and a happy ending for this funny video.

[HeadlessCorpse89]

Brooke!



[tyton1234]

is mike the guy who took the picture...cant tell

[AdvancedRatings]

what is happening man



[gailmckennag]

one of their greatest songs and a great cd.there's stevie wonder and half of culture club.

[BraynerZ2]

Está tuanis el video , demasiado lindo

[DKashman]

Right Up there with their best songs. Have been a Beach Boys fan as long as I can remember.

[bsyankees21]

love it 

[KreeshaMe]

That's Brian singing "I need her and you need him" towards end of song, plus falsetto in background. He arranged all the vocals in this song too. Love how he appears as "ACME" guy in this vid. Lol

[souldeep69]

@KreeshaMe Wow, I never listened carefully enough - I thought it was Mike on the "I'll leave her and you leave him" coda, and now I can hear you're right. I actually thought Brian had nothing to do with this great record (he didn't write it), and now I find he had a LOT to do with it.

Ever notice this song works in a strange way - the chorus is actually all background vocals with no melody, and is reduced in volume to the level of background vocals to emphasize that effect. Unique!

[Darlin756]

Her name is Katherine Kelly Lang. But who is the geeky guy? Does anyone know?

[Sideshowspike]

I got here from a waterball video. Lols.

[paudiemaguire1]

whats mike love doin takin pics of kids hahaha

[MrM1GarandGuy]

@paudiemaguire1 He has always been a bit of a creep haha

[1970volkswagen]

Rick Moranis? Is that you?

[61193rwh]

I think this is a whole lot better song than Kokomo.

[RickMakesGoodVideos]

One Word: Herbie

[ThePeppepersson]

så fucking god!!

[forastero4ever]

Great song!. It makes me remind 1985´s summertime, I was waking up to a new life.(sigh...)

[kyawmawthu]

@RayRoark2009 you are a fag. you have now spoiled the greatness of this classic with the involving of justin "beaver"

[Dali6033]

me encanta...............amo esta cancion!♥ sin palabras

[Jvct3579]

Their last great song.

[MrCheetah97]

@Jvct3579 no. every single one is deep, beatiful, and amazing.

[drtyfknmouth]

@Jvct3579 not a kokomo fan, huh?

[Jvct3579]

@drtyfknmouth ha, yes. but Somewhere Near Japan is good too. :3

[randomeddie]

Having had the pleasure of meeting the band on several occasions (my Uncle Bobby was their drummer/percussionist for many years) this video brings back a lot of great memories, especially meeting Carl who was the sweetest man...

[Roggiedodgie]

@randomeddie Thanks a bunch for saying that you name dropper. Just kidding man, I envy you big time. I wish I had met those guys, they seem like wonderful fellas and such great singers and musicians. I was born too late ('65) but not too late to love the Beach Boys music. I'll never forget Reagan telling watts ( or whatever his name was) to put a sock in it, and hey I like the beach boys

[tsrla]

@randomeddie Bobby Figueroa? Really talented guy. I got to meet Carl in a club once...you're right, really decent man.

[noelreverberation]

a mix of 80s new wave and 60s surf rock = very good!!

[lady12480]

I thought mike love was the one kissing the picture of little kids like wtf

[Javier23gol]

I love that Brian Wilson fallsetto

[alienhuman]

@Javier23gol At this point in his life BW had given up the falsetto. My guess is Carl or Jeff.

[Javier23gol]

@alienhuman Nope Im shure is Brian, Check out the song In My car from 1987 is the same falsseto voice because Carl never sang a fallseto like that and Jeff never make a exact fallsetto as Brain did.

[bishomon]

Silly video, but a fantastic song. Great to see Brian. And Carl's smile at 1:47!

[valentinomonroe1]

Love that the geek got the girl.

[tellinyduvalin26]

i <3 this song :)

[hellomcflyy]

much like 80s is retro now - in the 80s - there was a big 60s retro thing going on right in the mid 80s (sort of runs in 25 year cycles if you notice) - this song was trying to tie into that (similar to say - Uptown Girl by Billy Joel... for example...)

[ScorpioBornIn69]

Living in Florida makes me want to hit the beaches whenever I hear a Beach boys tune.

[AlexVideoification]

i love this video

[chasjohn57]

Hey! Give props best beach boys video ever

[rolaguii]

no encuentro la cancion por ningun lado u.u

[kyawmawthu]

they are old now, but in this, they sound the same in the 1960s

[shmuli9]

Hmmm... I've obviously heard this song before, but until now I didn't realize that it sounds rather like any number of Supremes songs, especially "Where Did Our Love Go"...

[JDrevolver66]

The overall Mike Love-ness and 80's production aside, the backing harmonies are awesome, and the falsetto could'nt be anyone else (presuming it IS Brian, I don't think he'd had that strong a falsetto since 1970 or so...)

[64mung]

Great tune! Man..I remember seeing this video when it first came out. Hard to believe that was 25 years ago!! This brings back some good memories. Thanks for posting :)

[blackonyx2002]

OMG its' Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke Logan Forrester) on the Bold and the Beautiful.

[MyJesusFollower]

this song is from the original Herbie fully loaded movie!

-Jesus Rules!

[ScorpioBornIn69]

An ACME Van? I remember seeing this video but not the van that says 'ACME.' Every time I think of ACME , I think of Warner Brothers and Looney Tunes. What does ACME stand for anyway? Can never figure it out for years.

[morrisreno]

@ScorpioBornIn69 ACME actually did exist and it seems that cartoons adopted this name ironically ´cause what I've heard is that those products were poor quality.

[RayRoark2009]

@morrisreno hahahahahahahahahaha I always thought Acme ment like the pimples on faces lol, I really thought that was what it stood for.

[AarClay]

@ScorpioBornIn69

A (of American) Company that Manufactures Everything.

[followyourbliss101]

@ScorpioBornIn69 yeah - me too - thanks to Wyle E Coyote, I thought Acme meant crap - until i looked up the definition - it really means the best.

[AarClay]

@ScorpioBornIn69 A Company that Manifactures Everything.... ;-)

[ScorpioBornIn69]

I remember this video when it came out the summer of '85 on MTV. The Beach Boys had some hits that decade and still were good.

[TheAdidaswtfq]

alive the beach boys

[xxSPETNAZ910]

the harmony part at 0:54 when they all sing "getcha back baaaaby" is awsome.

[aboy97215]

Tune.

[Darlin756]

The Beach Boys were and always be the best. This is a fantastic video.  Wonder who the geeky guy is?!

[Darlin756]

It's not Rick Moranis...so who is he? Great video!

[coolsweetgroovy]

The Beach Boys Hot, Sexy, Talented, and good at comedy RIP Dennis and Carl

[Chainsaw20x7]

When I first heard this song I thought "this sounds really 80s, the Beach Boys were way ahead of their time"

Turns out it was actually recorded in the 80s

[kyawmawthu]

les garçons de plage ne peuvent être comparés à un autre type ou le genre de musique. ils sont les meilleurs. C'est une pure à l'âme, même s'ils sont un groupe de pop, cette sons comme la musique rock and roll

[morrisreno]

@kyawmawthu Je suis d'accord!

[malvavisco10]

@kyawmawthu Bwah hah hah hah ha "les garçons de plage?" No native French speaker would say that. How about just "Les Beach Boys?"

[RayRoark2009]

6 justin bieber fans missed the like button for this excellent song.

[RayRoark2009]

God this song is great, it was also played at the begining of the movie herby

[heartofgold34]

Thanks for adding this. It took forever for me to find it here.

[MrJlennon97]

looks like buddy holly

[nicesantos1]

Demais, amo beach boys

[nicesantos1]

A melhor música de beach boys na minha opinião.

[nicesantos1]

A melhor música de beach boys na minha opinião.

[nicesantos1]

A melhor música de beach boys na minha opinião.

[MeanSOB1]

Katherine Kelly Lang.....Wow!

[MissLizaMay]

this is my favorite song by the Beach Boys, and I have to say, this is the dumbest video I've ever seen! What an embarrasment to them - for such a great song. It deserved better than that geeky guy and a girl in a bakini.

[nymike06]

@MissLizaMay very funny but I agree with your assessment.

[PO146]

amo esta musica

[Sizzleboy11]

(Acting Like Beavis) He Looks Like The Honey I Shrunk The Kids Guy Nah Nah

[tuttinkopff]

YES!!!!!!!!!!

[unpre4]

aaw, this song reminds me of herbie fully loaded, a nice movie.

[peterpan5031]

i think thats the guy that played in the buddy holly story isnt it?

[Sza780]

THE Beach Boys song of the 80's!!!!!!! So bittersweet... Recorded shortly after Dennis' death. RIP Denny and Carl, can we ever getcha back again?!?!

[Sza780]

And I never would've guessed Al was a Tigers fan....

[deanster57]

great song and video-tori

[DaveWollenberg]

Hit #2 AC, #26 pop in Billboard. RIP, Carl and Dennis. God bless!

[ibisjeff]

my fav. beach boy song

[goofyone6721332004]

The Beach Boys are the best, I have always loved their songs.

[peterpan5031]

is that the person that played in the buddy holly storie

[peterpan5031]

isnt that the person the played for the Buddy Holly Story?

[peterpan5031]

@peterpan5031 yes it is

[Roggiedodgie]

@peterpan5031 no that was Gary Busey ya goof

[DaveLanders60]

know that alotta people don't listen to The Beach Boys anymore becoz times have changed and things have changed,,,I've changed but the fact is that I've been listening to the Beach Boys since I was 14 Years old,,still do every now & then. Even after all these years, the Beach still remain TIMELESS...

[eddo1983]

Mike love is a asshole

[peterpan5031]

how come no one pays any attenoin to the beach boys anymore i mean really

[peterpan5031]

the dude we are more paying attechoin to looks like the person who played buddy holly cause look at him he does

[gittahfiend]

Great song.this video though,HAD to be Mike Love's idea.

[Cicilo1983]

By far my personal favourite Beach Boys song, even though it didn't have the same impact as their songs from the 60s. And this is definitely one of the sweetest feel-good music videos ever !

[DaveWollenberg]

Good times with the Beach Boys music. Hit #26 in Billboard. Should've peaked higher than that.

[honeybearspapa]

Very similar story line to Colby Caillat's "Fallin' For You"....beautiful blonde babes, beach scenes, nerdy nice guys. Notice the facial expressions of the girls in each video when their nerdy guy date has their own separate wipeouts in the water. The similarities and uncanny !

[MadameLil]

Can anyone find the video for the sequel "It's Getting Late"?

[kevinDMC12]

great song!

[triggerdance]

what a great song, makes a great intro soundtrack for herbie too!!!!

[sermarciudadela270]

monica una cosa es el beach boys de los 60 que era todo uhhhh iuuuu todo re denso,la psicodelia de los 70 y el pop de los echenta este mismo es el beach boys que me gusta mas el de los sitetizadores como tambien lo tiene el tema rock and roll rescue otro temazo,y california dreaming

[monicabustamante666]

jah...... a mi me gusta todo beach boys! desde Hawai hasta Kokomo, pasando por Wouldnt be nice, Heroes and villains, break away

[monicabustamante666]

lo dije, y lo vuelvo a repetir: ESTA ES MI CANCION FAVORITA DE LOS BEACH BOYS!!!!

[sermarciudadela270]

el beach boys popero de los ochenta impresionante loco

[LogSNES]

One of my favorite beach boys songs!

[KKanai7106]

I love this music video so very much. It reminds me like a fish-out-of-water storytale.

[350TPI]

kya1260am,same here only i was about 12 when this came out.

[kya1260am]

I remember back in 1985 used to play this on MTV. I was only 10 years old but never forgot this video. Thanks for the memories! :)

[leyrac2007]

Brian Wilson is the gay who brings the super bubble....

[relimes]

Just a reminder, Smiling Dutchman's videos doesnt allow anyone to comment, so its up to you wether you want to watch videos posted by that user or not.

[relimes]

Is Brian Wilson on this track?

[ThePeacepoet]

Yes Brian is the main backing vocalist on this song.

[hammerbrother]

Yes he is, that's him doing the Falsetto.

[shortuglyguy]

This is one of my favorite video's but couldn't they find a girl who could really surf to play Wendy

[relimes]

Id rather have Seen Mike Love get knocked over in this video rather than the boy.

[drtyfknmouth]

@relimes why?

[relimes]

Fred Penner at 1:47

[goradon99]

that's carl wilson.

[relimes]

no actually if you look closely its Billy Mays :)

[malikacc]

Great classic summer song!!!

[warcat69]

best part of this vid is Carl's smile at 1:47

[acehighpat]

I have to agree. I like his smile when he sees the two together. It is like a "that's sweet" smille. It's the opposite to Al Jardine's "Who is that?" reaction.

[randomeddie]

@warcat69 - Mine is the shot of Brian at 2:36...

[DobyZhee]

finally found this song!!

I was a little kid watching MTV and I couldn't wait for this song to come on. Unfortunately, I didn't know the name of the song. Did some research and voila.

I liked the song and video a lot! Its great

[Gobglubby]

Isn't it great when you find a song you've had in your head for years, but don't know the name, and you don't want to ask anyone for the fear of feeling stupid ( at least I do)

[Gobglubby]

I like how they solved his fear of surfing!

[frilb]

I think what the beach boys and brian wilson figured out a long time ago is that it's the simple things that become classics. A boy and a girl, or a car, the things of youth that we've never forgotten. They also had an incredible ability to somehow disappear as you listened to them and let the music take over. Then re-appear at the conclusion. They were powerful in the foreground but manged to play 90% in the background. They were great. Not to be forgotten.

[2010mustang1]

I Love this song it was in Herbie fully loaded!

[Inuyashalover4343434]

Beach boys is still one of the greatest bands EVERR!!!!!!!!!! WOOO!!!! amazing song! deyr best out of my point of view

[RacerXGTO]

:21 WENDY! Wendy! very subtle ;-)

[MissClassicDoux]

Love my Beach Boys!!!

[mignonhenne]

my fave song off heir my fave cd - it has a culture ckub written song too.

[ericnwren]

Beach Boys are without a doubt one of the best and most talented bands EVER and one reason is cause they exude something that is totally missing (from todays garbage they call music)and that is under appreciated called POSITIVITY and HOPE!

[ruth7784]

Yep, you can't help but SMiLE :-) listening to their music!! X

[marcofalzone]

@ericnwren most definately

[jias188]

@ericnwren and those amazing melodys they really make the song flow and feel so peacefull

[RayRoark2009]

@ericnwren Do you know what ever happened to them lol

[BeachBoysGuy1]

Try " If We Ever Need A Superman" on youtube. THANKS !!!!

John Hunter Phillips

[honeybearspapa]

Katherine Kelly Lange still looks as good today on The Bold and the Beautiful as she did 25 years ago when this video came out.

[unpre4]

so lovely music so i just want a girlfriend

[2112at91198v76k]

sure reminds you of someone you want to be with

[bobmarley40347]

yeah totally makes u wanna call up ur gf or bf LOL! kinda weird how that works!

[Neoeternauta]

this song is the best ! the videoclip is bullshit.

[crazytacostudios]

agreed

[curtiscrush]

This is such a beautiful song. I will never forget the time I first heard it.

[DENNISANDMARIA2009]

ALOT GOOD MEMORIES

[wuzzntme]

I believe this was the last song Brian did with the beach boys. They didn't ask him to play on kokomo

[gloompop]

that's not true. they called to ask him, but Brian's live-in therapist Dr. Landy, never gave him the message.

[wuzzntme]

Brian said himself that they didn't invite him to do kokomo. It's on a big documentary they all did.

[mignonhenne]

wasn't he evil - he held brian back . he stole so much money - the lowlife ripped off a legend who needed help.he needs help.

[forastero4ever]

And the girl looks like Maria Sharapova

[DetSonnyCrockett]

The guy looks like Rick Moranis

[morrisreno]

You are right...but a little bit taller! ;)

[ericnwren]

Sorry to disagree with U both but I say he looks more like Gary Busey(circa;Buddy Holly story)

[nicesantos1]

@DetSonnyCrockett

[DetSonnyCrockett]

Yeahhh, Brian with the van!

[OrigLanceR]

The best Beach Boys tune after their sixties work

[BrookeTaylor4ever]

KKL :D Brooke Logan xD

[forastero4ever]

No MALE can use an underwear like that!!

Awesome song and it's too bad they don't make songs like this anymor
