1964 single by The Beach Boys
This article is about the Beach Boys song. For other songs, see Dance, Dance, Dance.
"Dance, Dance, Dance" is a song by the American rock band the Beach Boys from their 1965 album Beach Boys Today!. Written by Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson, and Mike Love, it was first issued as a single in October 1964, backed with "The Warmth of the Sun". "Dance, Dance, Dance" marked Carl`s first recognized writing contribution to a Beach Boys single, his contribution being the song`s primary guitar riff and solo.
Composition
"Dance, Dance, Dance" was composed by Brian and Carl Wilson, while the lyrics were written by Brian and Mike Love.[3] Although many pop songs raise their key at the start of a final chorus, "Dance, Dance, Dance" subverts this convention by modulating in the middle of the verse.[4]
Billboard described the song as having a "tremendous rock -surfin` beat and groovy lyrics," saying that the Beach Boys "have never sounded better."[5] Cash Box described it as a "sensational hot-rod-surfin` [rocker],... that zips along with money-makin` glee."[6]
Variations
The song was originally released in mono, while a remixed stereo version was released on the compilation Hawthorne, CA. An early version of the song, with different lyrics and arrangement, appears as a bonus track on The Beach Boys Today!/Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!) two-fer CD.
