"I Get Around" is a song by the Beach Boys, written jointly by Brian Wilson and Mike Love in 1964. This single became the group's first chart-topping hit in the United States and marked the beginning of an unofficial rivalry between Brian Wilson and the Beatles. "I Get Around" is ahead of its time and demonstrates how quickly Brian had developed. The sharp guitar and saxophone bursts, along with an arrangement that stops, goes, accelerates, and then pauses multiple times, are nearly transcendental in their creativity. The vocals of each band member are showcased, making this single as outstanding as any pop record ever made.
