It's nothing to do with a physical act. It is just him seeing a gal he feels a connection with (vibe - vibrations) and it makes him happy (excitation). When he closes his eyes, she is closer meaning he is thinking about her. The song is more innocent than what today's world makes things out to be.

As others have said, it helps to know that you're listening to a little musical revolution here. When people first heard this it was widely seen that The Beach Boys had achieved the near-impossible, in techniques and innovations in recording, and in the richly ambitious and complex arrangement. I find it stunning every time I hear it. It's a bona fide masterpiece worthy of genuine awe.

A huge massive song for the Beach Boys, it took 6 months to record this song in about 4 different studios, Brian Wilson wrote it and produced it finally getting his Phil Spector "Wall Of Sound". Glad you listened to the studio version of this one. You two ROCK!!! HUGS!!! :)

Beach Boys are in a class by themselves. They are the epitome of feel good, summertime music.

The Beach Boys is one of my favorite bands. They started in the early 60s as a west coast "beach rock n roll" band. Some good early songs: "Fun, Fun, Fun", "Surfin USA", "I Get Around", and "California Girls". Later in the decade, they were in a friendly competition with the Beatles musically and came out with "Good Vibrations" and "God Only Knows". A big rabbit hole to explore.

Its easy to take a song like this for granted because it just sounds so cute and fun, but it truly stunned the music world when it came out and helped elevate pop music to a more artistically mature level. The writer of the music, Brian Wilson, called it a pocket symphony which really sums it up, I'd say. But yeah, it was shockingly ahead of its time in 1966.

This song featured the "Theremin", a musical instrument played without touching it, which was not used a lot in the 60's in rock and roll music.

The story behind the song is insane. The wrecking crew changed my life.

"God Only Knows" - likely the most musically intriguing pop song of it's era, both structure and production-wise. Is no wonder Paul McCartney is so impressed with it. Pet Sounds was every bit as ground breaking in recording as Sgt. Peppers but over-shadowed by the later. Good Vibrations - As far as I know this is likely the only hit song with a Theremin in it beside maybe dazed and confused by Led Zep? Though I do not think the latter was a top ten charter. Vibe as a slang word became common around this era. The lyric came from something Brian Wilson's mother told him when he was little... Their dog barked at people or not, she told him the reason was vibrations that the dog could sense from them. So, the meaning is not hard to figure out apparently the girl gives off a good vibe to him (gives him butterflies or interested in her), either that or she's a toy hidden? ;)

In "Good Vibrations" Brian Wilson merged his earlier California surf sound with the new psychedelic music of the later 60s. There's nothing explicitly sexual in the lyrics. The vibrations are just the guy's basic attraction to the young woman about whom he sings. That is to say, he likes her.

Brian Wilson: a composing equal to The Beatles. It was fun watching their faces trying to take it in. He was the only composer that The Wrecking Crew ever really thought was as good as they were.

There is an argument to be made that, in the history of rock and roll, there is no more important an American rock group than The Beach Boys. They came out with their own enormously influential sound at the same time as the British Invasion bands were huge. There are echoes of their influence throughout pop music even into today. The Beatles even took some inspiration from them, which lead to Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club, which in turn is said to have inspired Pet Sounds. You can hear their influence in Boyz II Men.

Good Vibrations maybe just maybe the greatest song of it's time ... incredible production

Brian Wilson called this song a pocket symphony and after this song was huge he wanted to write a concept album called SMiLE with the same kind of vibe to it. It was almost finished when he scrapped it for various reasons. There were so many bootlegs over the decades of the songs and snippets that came out that just made me stop and really listen to the music. Brian Wilson finally released a version of the album with his band in 2004 and the Beach Boys took all the original material and did what they could with it, and released it as much of a whole as they could in 2011 as well. It was so ahead of it's time back in the 60's. Wish it came out back then.

The song was written by Brian Wilson and played by the Wrecking Crew - LA's music geniuses who played on everything from Herb Albert to Monkeys and even The Chairman of the Board Sinatra.

I first heard Good Vibrations in 1965/66 and instantly loved it....I'm still a fan of the beach boys in 2022.

Despite their name and their early radio hits, their catalogue is incredibly eclectic. In fact, much of their work is deeply melancholy. And their harmonies are second to none. Check out "Heroes and Villains." It's a total trip.

Haha!!!! A song about a stiffy. In my whole life knowing this song I’ve never thought about it like that!!!!! To me this was always a song about being young hanging out at the beach and meeting the beautiful people

The Beach Boys are Legends. The Wilson Brothers. So good. They created a genre. Brian was just a damn genius.

the song starts with the guy noticing this stunning female...sun glimmer hair, whif of perfume...they meet/interact/develop relationship/he never will allow her to get away - he loves her so much. Will never let the vibrations die.

It's one of the most recognizable sounds in pop music. It also turns out to be one of the most misunderstood. That high-pitched sound in The Beach Boys' 1966 masterpiece "Good Vibrations" is always assumed to be a theremin. But it's not.

The Beach Boys bring back all kinds of memories. This is the sound from my high school days. The the Beatles came followed by more British bands, and everything changed. Surf bands were big back then. That was their genre. Songs about surfing and hot rod cars. “My Little Deuce Coupe”, “Surfer Girl”, “Surfin’ USA”, “Be True to Your School”, “409”(A hot rod song about a Chevy with a 409 engine).

Children, don't be so literal. He's smitten by a beautiful woman, by the sunlight on her hair, by the breeze carrying her fragrance, the lovely sound of her kind voice - they needed a word that rhymed with vibration, so they made up excitation to communicate that he was excited by everything about her. Countless lyrics are poetic and can be interpreted in more than one way, like Higher Love by Steve Winwood. And their exquisite harmonies and the way the song builds is the core of its beauty, not a literal interpretation of the lyrics! "I don't know where but she takes me there" is about a profound response, not just a physical one. This isn't a simple"I like big butts" song!

This song is a masterpiece. A teenage pocket symphony to God. It has nothing to do with stiffies.

Good Vibrations is not only one of the greatest songs of the mid-60s, it is also one of the seminal recordings for the late 60s psychedelic era.

I first heard this in the late 60s and it still holds a wonderousness for me to this day.

When this came out in 1966 it was a musical achievement. I believe it was the most expensive single song ever recorded up to that point. I highly recommend you listen to The Beach boys God only knows. Paul McCartney from the Beatles favorite song of all time. And no the songs not about watching a woman and getting a chubby, LOL. It's much more innocent.

Nothing ruins the vibe a song has built up than stopping it half way through.

To me, this is Brian's masterpiece. Beautiful music, beautiful lyrics, unbelievable harmonies! This was the first ringtone I downloaded over 30 years ago!

Love it !! All the Beach Boys songs remind me of my dad !! He Loved them !!

it's NOT about a "Stiffy"

Learn about the Beach Boys and their back story. You will appreciate them more, and you will reconsider the meaning of Good Vibrations.

Another legendary band that still influences till today…I’ll pretty much be saying this about every band you guys react to from the best decade which is the 60s. It’s hard to imagine that everything that came out during the 60s was cutting edge and something new…and all done with superb songwriting…unmatched till today

Half your reaction songs I want to scream, "That's amazing, one of the all time great songs" but this one truly is one of the pillars that all modern music stands on . . plus FFS it's not about boners!
