On That Note: Don’t Fear the Repeater

[cyclones500]

I don’t think I saw this posted.

Based on the lyrics ... I doubt you’re ever gonna get it.

 

[cyclones500]

An 11-minute song is bound to have a lot of recursion ... in this case, main chorus and “burnin’” throughout .. but also, beginning at 8:40, about 11 times:

“Just can't stop … when my spark gets hot”

 

[t-noah]

(Do you, you feel like I do?)

 

[t-noah]

"I bless the rains down in Africa" 3:22 5x at end.

 

[matclone]

I want to repeat this song on the repeater thread because Frampton really shreds the solo on this original version from Frampton's Camel--an underrated album in my view.

 

[t-noah]

"Bismillah! No, we will not let you go
(Let him go) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let him go) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let me go) Will not let you go
(Let me go) Will not let you go", and a couple others I think.

 

[t-noah]

Band on the run, 6-8x each chorus

Anyone put this in the thread yet? We used to chug beers while Bruce sang the word "down"...led to a few hangovers (among other things we did back on those nights)!

 

[cyclones500]

I still like it, repetition be-darned.

 

[t-noah]

More repeats in the 'outro' 3:35...

[Outro]
I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who
Said I wonder, wonder, wonder, I wonder who
Oh, look out for that lowdown
(I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who)
That dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty lowdown
(Ooohooohooohooo)
I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who
Ooohooohooohooo
I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who
Got you thinkin' like that
Got you thinkin' just like that
(Ooohooohooohooo)
(I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who)
Lookin' that girl in the face is so sad
I'm ashamed of you
I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who

 

[t-noah]

Can't go for that
Can't go for that
Can't go for that, end of each chorus

 

[t-noah]

I still like it, repetition be-darned.

What did (she) do to him?

LOL

 

[t-noah]

Owner of a Lonely (Broken) Heart, thruout

 

[cyclones500]

What did (she) do to him?

LOL

I'm uncertain ... but something about her has got him down on his knees.

 

[cyclones500]

Two versions, slightly different repeats.

(45 version) 8 “all-right” at the end




(White album) Revolution 1 (3:30)

All, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all right … All right, all right, all right, all right, all right …

 

[t-noah]

[Intro]
I want my...
I want my MTV 4x, (and Outro) and of course "Money for nothin', chicks for free" on the Bridge and Outro...

 

[cyclones500]

“Annie, are you OK? Are you OK, Annie?”




For some reason, Alien Ant Farm version seems more repeat-y than MJ’s

All I can say is Wow! MJ was a genius.

And btw, Annie is still not OK, call 911!

Unbelievable talent Michael Jackson was. Too bad he had so many demons and had to leave us too soon.

For those of you (like me) who never really listened (heard) the lyrics of "Smooth Criminal" here they are:
