The Beach Boys Kill It In This Rare, Previously Unreleased Video

Screen shot 2013-03-27 at 3.11.38 PM

Every once in a while something so spectacular, so unfathomably amazing and inspiring falls in your lap that it forces you drop what you’re doing and share it with others — once you’ve regained composure, of course.

As a shameless Beach Boys fan, I feel I’ve been deprived having never seen this until today.

In this video, a young version of the now old Beach Boys perform a rendition of I Get Around like we’ve never seen. The guitar sounds pristine, the vocals are flawlessly on-pitch, and the clapping/thigh slaps are so rhythmically on-point that your whole body is liable to spontaneously mimic them. The sound quality is surprisingly rich for such an old video, too.

Take it in:

    Seriously though, I haven’t laughed that hard since I woke up one Wednesday morning, and the news tried to tell me Ol’ Barry was reelected… Except I’m not crying this time from finding out it wasn’t a joke, just from laughing at that guys claps on the far left.

    I must say, the musical masterpiece presented to us by Roger_Dorn is absolutely fantastic. How I’ve never see this, being a music connoisseur of sorts, is unfathomable. I applaud you on sharing this with the rest of the world! Thank you!

    It appears the video has been taken off of YouTube, anyone care to explain the joke or was it actually just a video of The Beach Boys playing?
