He gets around means two things in this song - one is he get around in his car, hits the hot spots and is famous. The second is he is making it with a lot of girls.
That �s why he sings
None of the guys go steady cause it wouldn �t be right
To leave your best girl home now on Saturday night
You can �t get around and make it with the "chicks" if you �re going steady.
Hope this helps

??Liberty, you �re also from Cali?--I never realised that (please don �t say Atascadero)??
"I get around" according to the Beach Boys song, means "I go lot of places and meet a lot of people. I am known by, and know about, a lot of people and things. It also means, in more current terms, that I am a "player"."
There was a public service television commercial for communicable diseases on TV in the seventies where a band was singing the song "I get Around" while standing in front of two big letters: "VD" (venereal disease).
Hope this helps.
PS-I �m not from Atascadero, but Liberty �s picture looks a lot like someone I once knew from there. |
