I reject the repetitiveness and nonsense syllables as being a negative. Those are staples of popular music.
It ain't art music. It's the song SJS's would-be romantic partner was wooed by. The latter is more important than the former, to steal and wildly paraphrase a thought Linda Ronstadt shared in the IJWMFTT doc.
Not when it's literally the entire song and sounds like a goat trying to attract a mate. |

It's just too bad that the Boys didn't do a cover of Surfer Bird for the Party album. That could have supplanted B.A. as the single. How would you like them apples? I too actually prefer the "long" version of the song, especially the big over the top finale, which strikes me as pretty funny. (ok, I'm easily amused).
Actually, I think Hully Gully would have made a nice follow up single to Barbara Ann. Heck, maybe the Boys could have destroyed the impending Age of Aquarius and ended the war in Viet Nam with that one two punch!
Better yet, B.A. followed up with Hully Gully, followed up with Surfer Bird! Take that, Beatles!
Favorite Barbara Ann memory.....driving in a car with my parents in the early 80's outside of Tucumcari NM. The local AM jock played the long version of B.A., including the ba bah black sheep have you any wool part, and my mother smiling over that part of the song. O do think that may have been the one and only time I ever heard that version on the radio.
Also on that trip, I heard "Living with a Heartache" on some AM station from a little town in Colorado. I call that song "Living with an Ear Ache". Probably one of their most duff tracks ever!

There are songs you hear on the radio you like at first. But after hearing it 300 times, you are happy to never hesrit again. "Afternoon Delight" comes to mind.

Pisces Brothers is just inept; Afternoon Delight is so contrived and calculated it could run for president.

Barbara Ann is bad but not as bad as some songs by other acts that have been big hits to some and ear poison to others.

There's enough stuff I can't stand but the one song that makes me gag at the very thought of it is Chuck Berry's lone US #1 "My Ding-A-Ling". That song is so wrong on every imaginable level!  |

Good one John! I heard that one live a couple years after it charted. Chuck had the guys and girls of the audience singing different parts. Happy to never hear it again. |

That really was the low point of going to a Chuck concert back in the day. Nowadays just seeing Chuck actually play some real guitar riffs is a thrill |

Johnny B Goode, duck walk and all. I thiink it was 1973. |

I think most bands have a 'BA' in their catalog. Whenever I hear the Beatles 'Obladi Oblada' its like fingernails on a blackboard.  |

In 2010, Billboard named "Afternoon Delight" the 20th sexiest song of all time. Which means absolutely nothing at all. See my comments on the Rolling Stone thread. Lists like that are pandering, pretentious bullshit. End of story. Mark it zero; next frame. |

I've always loved this joyous racket. Why on earth anyone should dislike it is beyond me. So do tell. It's off key. The original is also off key. The whole thing's sung in a weak falsetto instead of Brian's strong falsetto. Nothing worse than a weak, thin falsetto, it sounds like an amplified whisper. The original is even weaker. |
