Title: Weird effect on Take A Load Off Your Feet Post by: Joel Goldenberg on December 10, 2014, 11:36:48 AM Anybody else experience this? When I first got the Surf's Up album on vinyl and listened to Take A Load Off Your Feet, in the tag of the song, someone says something a bit indistinguishable at the tail end, like "whoa." Every time I heard that, I thought someone was calling me from a neighbouring room of where I lived. Was this a sly Steve Desper surround effect?

It's fun and lightweight, almost bordering on nursery rhyme but features some spectacular sound work as well as some sweet Brian involvement. To me there's something very Smile-like about it, in a hipsterish early-70s way.
