Шаблон:Infobox song "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.[1]

Background

Asked for comment, Wilson said that he "just thought it would be a good single".[2] It is one of the few songs on Smiley Smile that lack a definite connection to the aborted Smile project.[3]

Recording

"Gettin' Hungry" was recorded at Brian Wilson's Bellagio home studio on July 14, 1967.[4]

Reception

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."[5] 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."[6]

Among biographers, Byron Preiss characterized it as "an odd combination of energetic chorus, electric bass, and bluesy meandering".[2] Mark Dillon noted the song as a "flop single".[7]
