The Beat Goes On (Atco Records 33-237/mono, SD 33-237/stereo) is the second album by the American psychedelic rock band Vanilla Fudge, released in early 1968.

The album doesn't contain any actual "songs", but rather a sound collage featuring many different elements: the voices of world leaders past and present, the band reciting pre-written mantras and reflections, and excerpts of songs (done "Vanilla Fudge style") by The Beatles and Sonny Bono.

In the liner notes of Sundazed Music' 1990 CD reissue, the band denounces it as a failed experiment on the producer's part.

The Fudge's third album, Renaissance, released quickly after The Beat Goes On, would be Morton's last collaboration with the band.

In his autobiography Stick It!, Vanilla Fudge drummer Carmine Appice declares: "Even listening to it now – which, let me tell you, I rarely fucking do – The Beat Goes On sounds like an album that Spinal Tap would be wary of making.
