1967 single by Brian Wilson & Mike Love
"Gettin` Hungry" is a song by American rock band the Beach Boys from their 1967 album Smiley Smile. Credited on the label to Brian Wilson and Mike Love, it was released as a single on August 28, 1967, the second and last released on the original iteration of Brother Records.[3]
Asked for comment, Wilson said that he "just thought it would be a good single".[4] It is one of the few songs on Smiley Smile that lack a definite connection to the aborted Smile project.[5]
"Gettin` Hungry" was recorded at Brian Wilson`s Bellagio home studio on July 14, 1967.[6]
Billboard reviewed "Gettin` Hungry" as an "unusual piece of material — as off-beat as their current `Heroes and Villains` smash. Should prove to be an important chart item."[7] Cash Box said that the "use of abrupt changes of speed, overwhelming organ atmosphere and the sort of `soul` sound that is Beach Boys" make the song "distinctive."[2]
Among biographers, Byron Preiss characterized it as "an odd combination of energetic chorus, electric bass, and bluesy meandering".[4] Mark Dillon noted the song as a "flop single".[1]
