DO YOU REMEMBER? Billboard #1 HOT 100 (This Week in 1966) The Beach Boys: Good Vibrations Good Vibrations is a song by The Beach Boys, released as a single in October 1966. Composed and produced by Brian Wilson, the songs lyrics were written by Wilson and Mike Love. It was The Beach Boys third U.S. number-one hit after I Get Around and Help Me, Rhonda, reaching the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart in December 1966, as well as being their first British chart-topper. Initiated during the sessions for the Pet Sounds album, it was not taken from or issued as a lead single for an album, but as a stand-alone single, although it would be later considered for the aborted Smile project. It would ultimately be placed on the album Smiley Smile eleven months after its release. Wilsons publicist Derek Taylor described Good Vibrations as a pocket symphony. It featured instruments unusual for a pop song, including prominent use of the cello and an electro-theremin. It is #6 on Rolling Stones list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The song Good Vibrations is part of the The Rock and Roll Hall of Fames 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll list. The Beach Boys
