Title: Surf's Up Lyric Help Post by: blazer on August 16, 2007, 02:44:38 AM What are the whispery background vocals saying at :12 and :23 in the first part of Surf's Up? Sounds like "Wake Up Wake Up" or something like that. These words are not included in any lyric 's for the song that I have found. If anyone has insight into this, please let me know. Thanks.

Title: Re: Surf's Up Lyric Help Post by: pixletwin on August 16, 2007, 07:36:22 AM Yup "bygone bygone"... I remember someone on hear recorded a version of themselves singing it as "break-up, break-up" and i just about smashed my head into the computer screen... :lol
Title: Re: Surf's Up Lyric Help Post by: The Shift on August 16, 2007, 10:14:35 AM I used to hear it as "Write on" (or maybe "Right-on!", as in, "Right-on, man!" - in which case if Brian and Van were still in their early 20s and had written it today, it would probably have been "Yeah, whatever, yeah, whatever"!)
Title: Re: Surf's Up Lyric Help Post by: XY on August 16, 2007, 12:29:29 PM I always heard it as "bye God, bye God".
Title: Re: Surf's Up Lyric Help Post by: pixletwin on August 16, 2007, 12:34:55 PM I decided that, poetically, it sounds better like this: "Bygone, bygone. By God, bygone." I don't care if its right or wrong, but I can hear Van Dyke reciting it in my head. ;D

Title: Re: Surf's Up Lyric Help Post by: Aegir on August 16, 2007, 06:23:17 PM I always thought it was "like a" but "bygone" makes alot more sense.
Title: Re: Surf's Up Lyric Help Post by: pixletwin on August 16, 2007, 06:33:07 PM I always thought it was "like a" but "bygone" makes alot more sense. Especially in light of what the song is about... What is Surf's Up about again? :lol Title: Re: Surf's Up Lyric Help Post by: Andrew G. Doe on August 16, 2007, 06:34:04 PM I always heard it as "wipeout, wipeout" - which makes a crazed kinda sense - until I heard the vocal tracks isolated out. It's "bygone".

:lol bygone works better, for sure ;) Title: Re: Surf's Up Lyric Help Post by: Shane on August 19, 2007, 08:40:15 PM I love how at the beginning of the take for Brian's original demo of this song, the engineer mistakingly calls out, "Surfin' Take One" before the music begins. Talk about two polar opposites of Brian's music, yet with only a small variance in song title.

I used to think it was "Fire Fire", then "Biker Biker"
