I've always found the lyric "I met you last summer when I came up to stay with my gran" partucularly grating

Gran has no place on a pop song. Especially funny as Brian wanted to submit the song to the Beatles. Can't see the John Lennon of "You Can't Do That" going to stay with his gran. Or maybe I can.......

I'm with you on this one!

I've always thought it says "stay with my friend".  Is this another case of misheard lyrics on my part?


I thought so too,  I asked this question on another thread and apparently it is Gran,  which is kinda out of place in a pop song really,   I prefer friend...

The Adult/Child version of HEY LITTLE TOMBOY

Seriously the spoken lines at the end along with the pedophile giggles Brian, Mike and Al are into turns my blood to ice every time I simply see the title.

It is one of those songs that should not exist. Also God does not exist as if He did exist he would've set lightning to the recording studio.

 Cheesy Your quote made me laugh. Really?!!   Makes me definitely want to listen to it now.  Then again...



Seriously, don't

Now I'm REALLY curious!  Cheesy   But I won't listen if its that bad,  wouldn't know how to find it anyway

I know it's not that bad, but I cringe every time I hear "cool water is such a gas"... it's not a gas! I don't know if I'm missing some point here, but "cool water, it ain't no gas" or something along those lines would have been a world better than the lyric Mike settled on imo.

Not sure what you are getting at here, Mike isn't lierally saying that cool water is water vapour, I'm pretty sure that 'gas' in context of the lyrics is slang meaning 'good thing'.

Well.  That is bad in so many, many ways.  WTF were they thinking!  It sounds like they are circling around a girl and leering and bullying her. Brian sounds like a perverted sicko.  I need to wash my brain out with soap. I was warned I suppose.  Yuk.

I get that's probably what Mike is trying to say, but even in that context I just can't gel with the lyric. All it makes me think of is the states of matter and how 'cool water' is one of  the furtherest states away from being a gas. I know I'm being very, if not ridiculously picky here, I think it's largely because the rest of Cool, Cool Water is all kinds of mindblowing and I can't come to terms with the fact that the perfect place for a money-monent in the song is instead filled with a terrific display of mediocrity.

This is subjective; I think it's a wonderful little bit of word play and the first few times I heard it that bit made me chuckle. But to each their own.

Everything in this thread is subjective*! While I can't agree with you, I'm not surprised that there are people out there who enjoy the lyric.

* That is everything except the posts that sing of the triumphs of 'it's so cold I go "brrrrrrr"'. They're right on the money, no questions asked  Grin

Don't even care about any of that, I've just always hated the phrase, "It's a gas!"

Yeah, but the song "it's a Gas", as vocalized by Mad Magazine's Alfred E. Neuman, with sax solo by King Curtis, is a fun listening experience!
