"Don't Worry Baby" is a song by American rock band the Beach Boys from their March 1964 album Shut Down Book 2. Written by Brian Wilson and Roger Christian, Wilson'due south lead vocal on the rails is considered i of his defining performances, and he later referred to "Don't Worry Baby" every bit peradventure the Beach Boys' finest tape. It was issued in May 1964 equally the B-side of "I Get Effectually", and charted separately at number 24.

Deriving from Wilson'due south obsession with the Ronettes' 1963 hitting "Be My Infant", "Don't Worry Baby" has a similar musical construction, simply dissimilar subject matter and production approach. The lyrics are told from the perspective of a braggadocious homo who regrets like-minded to a drag race, but is ultimately consoled by his girlfriend with the song's title phrase. The song was originally offered to the Ronettes, but was rejected by their producer, Phil Spector, leaving Wilson to produce it for his own band. On the recording, all of the Beach Boys played their ain instruments.

"Don't Worry Infant" has appeared in several critics' rankings lists, including Spin 's "100 Greatest Singles of All Time", Rolling Stone 's "500 Greatest Songs of All Time", and Pitchfork 's "200 Greatest Songs of the 1960s". Embrace versions have been recorded by many acts, including the Bay City Rollers, B.J. Thomas, and Ronnie Spector. Thomas' version outperformed the sales of the original record, reaching number 17 in the U.Due south. and number i in Canada. The Beach Boys rerecorded the song with Lorrie Morgan for their 1996 anthology Stars and Stripes Vol. 1.

Groundwork [edit]

Wilson unsuccessfully offered "Don't Worry Baby" to the Ronettes

"Don't Worry Infant" was composed by Brian Wilson at his home in Hawthorne, California.[iii] It was conceived as a response to "Be My Infant", a recent hit by the Ronettes that had amazed and inspired Wilson.[3] In his (since-discredited) 1991 memoir, Wouldn't It Be Nice: My Ain Story, it is stated that Wilson adopted the vocal title phrase from his then-girlfriend Marilyn Rovell shortly after hearing "Be My Baby" for the first time.[4] [five] In a 2009 interview, he said that he composed "Don't Worry Baby" over the course of two days. "I started out with the verse idea and then wrote the chorus. It was a very simple and beautiful song. It's a really middle and soul song, I actually did feel that in my center."[half dozen]

The memoir provides further details of the collaboration: "I called lyricist Roger Christian and told him I had an idea. He met me ane afternoon at my parents' firm, where, in i of our last collaborations, we wrote a lush carol whose championship and chorus came directly from Marilyn'due south comforting words, 'Don't Worry, Infant.' I knew the song was a blast before we finished writing it."[five] On another occasion, Wilson recalled, "I met [Roger] in the parking lot at KFWB and he presented the lyrics for me. I went abode and wrote the song in about an hour-and-a-one-half."[7]

Wilson considered having the song exist recorded by the Ronettes instead of the Beach Boys. In the memoir, it is stated that Wilson changed his heed after discussing the thought with Christian.[5] Conversely, during a 1994 tribute concert with Wilson in attendance, Ronnie Spector recalled that she and Wilson had discussed "Don't Worry Babe" in 1963 on the only prior occasion they had met: "It was the follow-up to 'Be My Baby,' and [Brian] came running into Gold Star Studios and said, 'I wrote a bang-up song for you!' But of course my ex-hubby [Ronettes producer Phil Spector] didn't do the writing on information technology, and so [we didn't record information technology]."[8]

Lyrics [edit]

Similar previous songs written by Wilson and Christian, "Don't Worry Baby" portrays a hot-rod themed setting, however, different "Shut Down" and "Little Deuce Coupe", the song has a more melancholic mood.[2] The lyrics are told from the perspective of a man who regrets involving himself in a drag race. Equally he confesses his shame to his girlfriend, she consoles him with the vocal's title phrase.[3] Biographer Timothy Write observed that the song avoids "the darker arctic" of "Be My Baby"; rather, "Wilson composed a hapless love token that showed its strength in its sudden, surpassing humility."[iii] Take hold of a Wave author Peter Ames Carlin wrote that Christian drew on Wilson's "stage fright and romantic insecurities" to write the lyrics. Carlin adds,

The earlier verses contrasted the narrator's lust for his girl—"She makes me come alive"—with his fears regarding the power of his car: "I approximate I should take kept my rima oris shut when I started to brag about my motorcar. . . ." Merely while his lover keeps telling him not to worry, her reassurances lea to the sexual encounter in the final verse and the intriguing reversal in the transitive verb that describes it. She's making love to him, which implies a sexual assertiveness (if not quite aggressiveness) that the narrator won't, or can't, claim for himself.[ix]

Biographer Mark Dillon compared the lyrical themes to "a musical equivalent of Insubordinate Without a Cause."[2] In his book Sonic Alchemy, David Howard wrote that "Don't Worry Baby" was a "subtle harbinger for the growing dichotomy within the California Sound. While 'I Get Around' symbolized the sunshine ideal in all its carefree splendor, 'Don't Worry Baby' suggested something entirely more pensive and even slightly dark underneath its pristine facade."[ten]

Composition [edit]

Musically, "Don't Worry Infant" is closely similar to "Exist My Babe".[xi] The verses are in E major and follow a I – IV – V progression.[seven] One of the ways in which the song distinguishes itself from "Be My Baby" is through the use of a central change for the chorus department.[11] At the end of the verses, the song shifts from East to F by repeating a ii7 – V progression one whole footstep above.[12] The chorus has the aforementioned chord progression as the verses of "Be My Baby" (I – ii – 5).[7]

Recording [edit]

The Beach Boys at a 1964 photoshoot

The Beach Boys recorded "Don't Worry Baby" equally function of ii 8-hour sessions at United Western Recorders, Hollywood, on January vii, 1964.[xiii] [7] All of the ring members played their ain instruments on the recording.[thirteen] [xiv] Vocals and guitars were overdubbed on January 8 or ix. Take 12 was used for the master.[13] One-time member David Marks, who had left the group several months earlier, may take played at this overdubbing session.[15]

Commenting on Wilson's singing, White wrote, "Brian upped the vocal ceiling in his emulative arrangement to suit the Wagnerian Minnie Mouse yodel that was Ronette lead vocalizer Ronnie Bennett's standard sonic slope."[3] An alternating take of Wilson'southward singing was included on the 2013 box set Made in California.[xvi]

Despite being modeled heavily later "Be My Baby", "Don't Worry Baby" does not emulate Phil Spector's Wall of Sound production technique.[seven]

Release [edit]

Shut Down Volume 2 was released on March 2, 1964, with "Don't Worry Babe" placed as the second track. On March fourteen, the ring appeared on American Bandstand, during which they lip synced a performance of "Don't Worry Baby". The segment was broadcast on ABC on April eighteen.[17]

On May 11, "Don't Worry Baby" was issued every bit the B-side to their single "I Get Around".[17] The B-side charted separately from the A-side due to differences in radio plays, peaking at number 24 on July four.[18] Cash Box described information technology equally an "attending-getting shuffle beat cha cha" vocal that "has the big striking goods."[19]

Legacy [edit]

OK, and so maybe the appeal of this ane has nothing to practice with the specifics of the story, but surely we can all relate to the thought of back up, how knowing that someone cares for you regardless of what happens gives you strength to exercise smashing things. And the music is such a perfect accompaniment to this theme, so damn cozy and warm, a tender respite from the stressful reality of the principal narrative.

Pitchfork editor Mark Richardson[20]

Biographer David Leaf declared that "Don't Worry Baby" became Wilson's starting time "pop standard",[1] while Dillon decreed that information technology marked "ane of his defining [vocal] performances on one of his greatest records."[2] In a 1970 interview, Wilson opined, "Probably the best record we've washed was 'Don't Worry Infant'. It has about the best proportion of our voices and ranges."[21]

In 1988, "Don't Worry Baby" was ranked number 11 on Spin 's list of the greatest singles in history.[two] In 2004, information technology was ranked number 178 on Rolling Stone 'south list of the greatest songs in history.[22] In 2010, it was ranked number xiv on Pitchfork 's listing of the greatest songs of the 1960s.[20]

Encompass versions and homages [edit]

Terry Melcher drew heavily on "Don't Worry Babe" for his production and arrangement of the Byrds' 1965 rendition of "Mr. Tambourine Homo".[23] [24] The ii tracks share a similar tempo, every bit well every bit the same drum beat and rhythm guitar patterns.[24] Byrds fellow member Roger McGuinn greatly admired "Don't Worry Baby" and stated that, at one signal, he listened to the tape (aslope "God But Knows") virtually every morning. "I'd wake upwardly and play those songs. It was really inspirational. It was almost similar going to church."[25] Dillon writes that part of the Byrds' subsequent success "can be attributed to how they successfully adapted Embankment Boys-style harmonies" on songs such as "Mr. Tambourine Man".[26]

Thomas' 1977 version of "Don't Worry Infant", released as a single, was the most successful and outperformed the sales of the Beach Boys' version. Thomas later on said, "I have ever loved the Beach Boys—all of their records. They could do no incorrect in my book. Brian Wilson was amazing. Information technology wasn't my biggest hitting, but it did sell about 800,000 copies and I notwithstanding perform it alive in concert."[29]

In the 1980s, Randy Bachman and Carl Wilson wrote an homage to "Don't Worry Baby", titled "What's Your Hurry, Darlin'?", that was recorded past Bachman's band Ironhorse.[30] Lorrie Morgan was the featured guest on the Embankment Boys' rerecording of "Don't Worry Infant" for the band's 1996 anthology Stars and Stripes Vol. one.[31] Garbage's 1998 unmarried, "Push Information technology", independent an interpolation of the "Don't Worry Baby" chorus; Wilson and Christian were afterwards given songwriting credits on "Push It".[32]
