Members Vito Corleone Posted June 16, 2012 Members Share Posted June 16, 2012 This one has long been on the "party-songs-we-don't-do-but-probably-should" list. Have a request for it for a wedding in a couple of weeks, so it's time to work it up. Right now I'm dissecting the vocal-harmony arrangement on the chorus. Lindsay Buckingham's Brian Wilson fandom is certainly on display here! Fun stuff! Looking forward to rehearsing this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Leftcoast123 Posted June 16, 2012 Members Share Posted June 16, 2012 That is such a great tune! I'd never listened to it until you posted. Headed over to iTunes and previewed the Live at The Bass Performance. Tune is goning to kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headed over to iTunes and previewed the Live at The Bass Performance. Tune is goning to kill. Yeah, that's the version I'm working off of. Weird that the original doesn't seem to be available for download anywhere. I've got an old 45 single of it lying around somewhere but I'm too lazy to go try and find it. The live version is close enough. Especially since the backing vocals are tracked.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chicken Monkey Posted June 17, 2012 Members Share Posted June 17, 2012 Let us know how it goes over. It seems like it'd be pretty targeted at a specific age group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 992gnt Posted June 18, 2012 Members Share Posted June 18, 2012 One of the "big" local bands around here pulls that one out every so often. Absolutely killed every time I've seen them do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wheresgrant3 Posted June 18, 2012 Members Share Posted June 18, 2012 We've played it for years in a medley stuffed with Footloose, Micky, Sedated. I love playing it but it never really caught on... but most of the kids we're playing to these days were born after 1983. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
