"Gettin' Hungry" is a song by American rock band the Beach Boys from their 1967 album Smiley Smile.

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

[6] Billboard reviewed "Gettin' Hungry" as an "unusual piece of material — as off-beat as their current 'Heroes and Villains' smash.

"[7] 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.

"[2] Among biographers, Byron Preiss characterized it as "an odd combination of energetic chorus, electric bass, and bluesy meandering".
