It could be argued that the New Age jumped on the Beach Boys song from 1967, or alternatively, that the Beach Boys made big bucks using New Age terminology. I'm not sure which way it developed. This song has good "vibrations" and "excitations" that aren't related to particle physics. So, the idea of "good vibes" in a colloquial sense has been around for a long time.
I do have to admit though, that when Dr. B. told Gene to put his feet on the floor to make a good connection to earth, I was thinking of copper grounding straps.
I thought that song was about sex?
