Testo.

“Round round, get around
I get around, get around
I get arond
from town to town
get around round round
I get around
I’m a real cool head
get around round round
I get around
I’m making real good bread

I’m gettin’ bugged driving
up and down the same old strip
I gotta finda 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
I get around
get around round round
I get around
from town to town
get around round round
I get around
I’m a real cool head
get around round round
I get around
I’m makin’ real good bread
get around round round
I get around
I get around, round
get around round round…

We always take my car
cause it’s never been beat
and we’ve never missed yet
with the girls we meet

None of the guys go steady
cause it wouldn’t be right
to leave your best girl home
now on Saturday night

I get around
get around round round
I get around
town to town
get around round round
I get around
I’m a real cool head
get around round round
I get around
I’m makin’ real good bread
get around round round
I get around
I get around, round

Round round get around
I get around
get around round round
I get around
get around round round
I get around…”

Traduzione.

“Vado in giro, vado in giro, vado in giro
vado in giro da una città all’altra
vado in giro, in giro, in giro
vado in giro
ho veramente sangue freddo
vado in giro, in giro, in giro
vado in giro
sto facendo veramente cose buone

Mi sto stancando di guidare
su e giù per lo stesso vecchio tratto di strada
devo trovare un nuovo posto
dove i ragazzi sono alla moda

Io e i miei amici
stiamo diventando davvero ben noti
sì, i tipi loschi ci conoscono
e ci lasciano in pace
vado in giro
vado in giro, in giro, in giro
vado in giro da una città all’altra
vado in giro, in giro, in giro
vado in giro
ho veramente sangue freddo
vado in giro, in giro, in giro
vado in giro
sto facendo veramente cose buone
vado in giro
vado in giro, in giro
vado in giro, in giro, in giro

Prendiamo sempre la mia macchina
perché non è mai stata battuta
e non ci è mai sfuggita nessuna
delle ragazze che incontriamo

Nessuno dei ragazzi si mette con loro
perché non sarebbe giusto
lasciare la più bella ragazza a casa
proprio il sabato sera

Vado in giro
vado in giro, in giro, in giro
vado in giro da una città all’altra
vado in giro, in giro, in giro
vado in giro
ho veramente sangue freddo
vado in giro, in giro, in giro
vado in giro
sto facendo veramente cose buone
vado in giro, in giro, in giro
vado in giro
vado in giro, in giro

In giro, in giro, vado in giro
vado in giro
vado in giro, in giro, in giro
vado in giro
vado in giro, in giro, in giro
vado in giro”.

Significato e citazioni.

I Get Around è un brano musicale composto da Brian Wilson e Mike Love dei The Beach Boys nel 1964. Essendo uno dei brani più famosi dei Beach Boys, I Get Around viene frequentemente inclusa nei vari “greatest hits” della band, inclusi Endless Summer del 1974; The Greatest Hits – Volume 1: 20 Good Vibrations del 1999; Classics Selected by Brian Wilson del 2002, e Sounds of Summer: The Very Best of The Beach Boys del 2003.

La struttura del brano è particolare per la sua caratteristica di iniziare dal ritornello, cantato da Brian Wilson, e di avere solo due brevi strofe, la cui voce principale è di Mike Love. I Get Around venne pubblicata su singolo nel 1964 dalla Capitol Records, il cui B-side, la canzone Don’t Worry Baby, si classificò negli Stati Uniti alla posizione numero 24 nella classifica degli ascolti. Lì I Get Around giunse invece al primo posto, divenendo così la prima hit da numero 1 in classifica per i Beach Boys, mentre in Gran Bretagna arrivò alla posizione numero 7, dove fu il primo successo da top ten della band. Il brano venne inserita poi nell’album All Summer Long, pubblicato nel 1964.

Nel novembre 1969, il padre dei fratelli Wilson, Murry Wilson, vendette il copyright sulle canzoni della band a Irving Almo per circa 700.000 dollari. Molti anni dopo, nell’aprile 1992, proprio quando Brian Wilson vinse una causa legale per la riconquista dei diritti d’autore di molte sue composizioni, Mike Love intentò causa a Brian Wilson affermando di non essere stato incluso nei crediti di molte canzoni alle quali aveva contribuito, e di conseguenza di non aver ricevuto le royalties dovute, per approssimativamente trenta brani dei Beach Boys, molti dei quali grossi successi dei tempi d’oro. Una di queste canzoni era proprio I Get Around. I crediti compositivi originali citavano solamente Brian Wilson, ma Love insistette di aver scritto le parole del testo. Nel corso di un’intervista data alla rivista Goldmine, pubblicata il 18 settembre 1992, Love affermò che era stato lui e non Wilson ad uscirsene con la famosa frase “‘round round get around‘” che dà inizio alla canzone. Mike Love vinse la sua battaglia legale ed entrò ufficialmente nei crediti del brano.

La traccia strumentale di I Get Around venne registrata il 2 aprile 1964. La sessione, prodotta da Brian Wilson, restò celebre per essere stata luogo del licenziamento di Murry Wilson da manager del gruppo. Le voci furono aggiunte otto giorni dopo. La traccia vocale principale affidata a Mike Love nelle strofe e a Brian Wilson nel ritornello con cori di sottofondo ad opera di Brian, Carl & Dennis Wilson, Mike Love e Al Jardine.

I Get Around, abbinata a Don’t Worry Baby, fu pubblicata su singolo negli Stati Uniti l’11 maggio 1964. Il 6 giugno il singolo debuttò nella classifica Billboard Hot 100 alla posizione numero 17. Il 4 luglio il brano raggiunse il primo posto in classifica per due settimane spodestando dalla vetta A World Without Love di Peter and Gordon e diventando il primo numero 1 della band in America. Pubblicato nel giugno 1964 in Gran Bretagna, il singolo raggiunse la posizione numero 7 nella classifica di Record Retailer, diventando il primo successo da top 10 dei Beach Boys in territorio britannico. All’epoca Mick Jagger, quando apparve nello show televisivo inglese Ready Steady Go!, disse che riteneva I Get Around una grande canzone, aiutando ad espandere la fama del gruppo fra i giovani inglesi”.
