Description
"Ding Dang " (alternately known as "Rollin' Up to Heaven ", "Clangin '", "Brian's Tune ", and "Hard Time ") is a song by American rock band the Beach Boys from their 1977 album The Beach Boys Love You. It was written by Brian Wilson and Roger McGuinn during an impromptu jam session after Wilson had visited McGuinn's home to acquire amphetamines.
Wilson spent years working on different recordings of "Ding Dang", and, at one point, had it earmarked for singer Annette Funicello. The song has a 57-second runtime and the only lyrics are "I love a girl and I love her so madly / I treat her so fine but she treats me so badly".
In later years, Wilson cited "Ding Dang" as one of his best songs, and one of his most inspired and underrated. The song may have kickstarted his lifelong obsession with the folk standard "Shortenin' Bread", leading him to record numerous permutations of the "Ding Dang" riff in various songs over the subsequent decades.
