7" Single Record - Good Vibrations by The Beach Boys

The Beach Boys; Good Vibrations; Electro-Theremin; Paul Tanner;

Many believe The Beach Boys used a common theremin in Good Vibrations and other tracks. That is an overall misconception. The band actually used a instrument invented by a former trombonist for the Glenn Miller Orchestra; Paul Tanner. The device was called the electro-theremin.

I-I love the colorful clothes she wears
And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair
I hear the sound of a gentle word
On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's giving me the excitations (oom-bop-bop)
I'm pickin' up good vibrations (good vibrations, oom-bop-bop)
She's giving me the excitations (excitations, oom-bop-bop)
I'm pickin' up good vibrations (oom-bop-bop)
She's giving me the excitations (excitations, oom-bop-bop)
I'm pickin' up good vibrations (oom-bop-bop)
She's giving me the excitations (excitations)
Close my eyes, she's somehow closer now
Softly smile, I know she must be kind
When I look in her eyes
She goes with me to a blossom world
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations (oom-bop-bop)
I'm pickin' up good vibrations (good vibrations, oom-bop-bop)
She's giving me excitations (excitations, oom-bop-bop)
Good, good, good, good vibrations (oom-bop-bop)
She's giving me excitations (excitations, oom-bop-bop)
Good, good, good, good vibrations (oom-bop-bop)
She's giving me excitations (excitations)
Ah, ah, my, my, what elation
I don't know where, but she sends me there
Oh, my, my, what a sensation
Oh, my, my, what elation
Oh, my, my, what
Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations a-happenin' with her
Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations a-happenin' with her
Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations a-happenin'
Good, good, good, good vibrations (oom-bop-bop)
She's giving me the excitations (excitations, oom-bop-bop)
I'm pickin' up good vibrations (good, good, good, good vibrations)
Na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na (bop, bop-bop-bop-bop, bop)
Do-do-do, do-do, do-do-do (bop, bop-bop-bop-bop, bop)
Do-do-do, do-do, do-do-do (bop, bop-bop-bop-bop, bop)
