Thank you Burnley! Burnley I Wanna HEEAAAR YA! Put your hands together and say YEEEAAAH! This next one is a little party tune from our new album, called 'Decades'! Crack open the brown ale and LET'S PAAAARTY!

No, wait...

I wonder if that tradition of putting cryptic hard-to-make-out spoken bits at the end of songs has finally died. Were the Beatles the first to do it? It's a bit of a rockist thing, I suppose.

btw I've always heard it as "could have been me"

Yeah! OK! Woooooo! And next up, it's our very own version of "Louie Louie"....

Ah yes, the run-out groove of Sgt Pepper - "Fuck me like a superman" allegedly.

Also: "there's no need to masturbate" in fadeout of "Sexual Healing."

And (non-verbally) I've always loved the way that Brian Wilson sneaked the "Workshop" section of the original SMiLE into the fadeout of "Do It Again."

The best one is on Booooowie's Life on Mars when the phone rings in the studio and he stops playin piano and says something like 'That'll be for me' sheer class

I kind of like the fact that Pete Townshend ends every live performance of "Happy Jack" by saying "I saw ya."

Always thought the runout groove of Sgt. Pepper was "never to see any other way," and indeed there's a Swell Maps piece called "nevertoseeanyotherway." But there's also a Happy Cat song called "We Fuck You Like Supermen," built on the sound of an inner groove...

Bowie's not that good a pianist. Wasn't it Wakeman?

― zebedee (zebedee), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 18:48 (twenty years ago)

Yes it was - on the sleeve of Hunky Dory Wakeman is credited with playing "all the complicated bits" on piano.

Damn I forgot to listen to The Eternal last night. Damn.

I've never heard that! (I've never played the album over headphones, though.)

Or at the end of The Cure's "Killing an Arab"...who knows what Robert muttered there...
