Title: Tag to live Good Vibrations
Post by: Mooger Fooger on August 26, 2010, 02:19:18 AM
A question. On several live versions performed by the BBs circa 1976-1980 they add a set of lyrics which I can never work out. IIRC these are part of another song integrated into GV. Does anyone have any further info on this?

If you have the Knebvworth DVD/CD it is on there.

Carl would sing this part, and the two lines I could make out were "Love to be your lover", which is the title of a reported unreleased song from the mid-'70s or so (see pg. 188 of the Leaf book), and "Really love your soul".

I distinctly recall the band singing "Bee Bop A Lula" during the tag on more than one occasion in the 80s.

You can hear an example on www.Wolfgangsvault.com the  Beach Boys Concert
Nassau Coliseum (Uniondale, NY).  I still can't make out what Carl is saying at the end ...
I hear the word "love" in there a few times ... a mystery.

On the Knebworth GV, Carl is singing "We love you, we love you, I love you, we love you," etc. at the end of the riff. It's all kinda buried under the other vocals and instruments.

This is from 1976. I use to think the ending was "a-walkin and a-talkin bee bop a-walkin and a-talkin", but maybe it's "Be Bop a Lula", I dunno.

I honestly think it's just gibberish.... but syncopated gibberish
