For the album's first single, " Experimental Film ", TMBG teamed up with Homestar Runner creators Matt and Mike Chapman to create an animated music video.

Skylarking spawned the controversial track " Dear God ", which was originally issued as the B-side of the album's first single, " Grass ".

Although signs of the failing of Partridge's first marriage were evident as far back as English Settlement ( notably on the album's closing track, " Snowman "), it was some time before the still-married Partridge felt comfortable with Wexler's advances and his mixed feelings about the situation were chronicled in the song " Another Satellite ".

" The album's singles — the Bruce Johnston-produced original " Bluebirds Over the Mountains " ( Billboard # 64 ) and the Carl Wilson-produced cover of The Ronettes ' " I Can Hear Music "— won lukewarm attention, with the latter reaching # 24 on the Billboard single chart in April 1969 ; the lead track, the Wilson / Love-authored " Do It Again ", an unabashed throwback to the band's earlier surf hits, had been an international hit in the summer of 1968, reaching # 20 in the US charts and # 1 the UK while also scoring well in other countries.

Wilson played and sang on much of the 1971 Surf's Up album and wrote or co-wrote four of the album's ten songs, including the title track, which was a Carl Wilson-produced rerecording of the legendary 1966 SMiLE track.
