Really, what does this line mean (of course from "Take a Load Off Your Feet")? Does it really refer to small rooms with very high temperature that need to be vacuumed or am I missing something?

Correct lyric is...
"And does the yoga asanas too".
... and no, I have no idea what it means.

Asana (Sanskrit आसन ("Asanam"-आसनम् or आसनंis the correct Sanskrit-संस्कृतम् word, "आसन" is because of the influence of other languages like English and Hindi.)sitting down < आस to sit down[1]) is a body position, typically associated with the practice of Yoga, intended primarily to restore and maintain a practitioner's well-being, improve the body's flexibility and vitality, and promote the ability to remain in seated meditation for extended periods.[2] These are widely known as Yoga postures or Yoga positions, which is currently practiced for exercise and as alternate medicine.

Finally. Now the world makes much more sense. Away with old saunas, welcome sitting positions!

The reason that line is so hard to understand is because Al combines them into one word. It sounds more like "yogasanas". In a rehearsal recording from the 90s I have (and presumably in performances during the subsequent tour), he articulates it and says "yoga asanas" but it kind of messes up the phrasing due to the extra syllable (or maybe he messed up the phrasing in the recording? I don't know. Is there a demo version floating around?).

Yeah, I always thought he was singing "And does the old Kahuna, too".

All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.

Well... it's a minor detail, but when I was (much) younger I thought they were singing "Dance, dance, dance, now the b*tch's really hot..."
Of course I know better now...

Rule of thumb, think BEFORE you post. And THINK how it may affect someone else's feelings.
Check out the
Beach Boys Starline
website, the place for pictures of many countries Beach Boys releases on 45.
Listening to you I get the music; Gazing at you I get the heat; Following you I climb the mountain; I get excitement at your feet
Right behind you I see the millions; On you I see the glory; From you I get opinions; From you I get the story

There is the "shouldn't-ah-lied" lyric that everybody and their brother seems to hear as "shootin' the line". And yes, I was one of them.
So was my dad. He heard the lyric wrong for over 40 years. We got into a rather nasty argument over that song.

Hey, on the subject of mis-heard lyrics, does anybody know if the "Candy Apple Pee" website still exists? Please tell me I'm not the only person here who remembers it.
