Background Zombie (CharlieNo4), Friday, 6 February 2015 13:56 (eleven years ago)

Fortunate Son says 'fortunate one' several times but only says fortunate son once at the end.

Little wing is also said once at the end, no?

✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 6 February 2015 14:00 (eleven years ago)

Maybe little wing gets repeated? i don't remember

And fortunate son

✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 6 February 2015 14:02 (eleven years ago)

Need to relisten to them but I'm 80% certain they don't repeat the last line. Lets go to bed may, though.

✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 6 February 2015 14:09 (eleven years ago)

Ok don't have my itunes close but checked on youtube:

Lets go to bed does say it at the end but it's repeated 3 times.

Fortunate Son definitely only says the title once at the end and here's the lyrics video for proof:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40JmEj0_aVM

The version of 'little wing' in youtube is live and only says it once before doing a two minute solo and fading. Don't remember if the record version says it more than once.

✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 6 February 2015 14:16 (eleven years ago)

There's also another Hendrix song that springs to mind: the wind cries mary. In the middle he says 'the wind IT cries mary' and at the end 'the wind cries mary' it partly counts as a technicism.

✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 6 February 2015 14:18 (eleven years ago)

Hey found the album version of little wing:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZsN6RMmdls

I'm only hearing it once at 1:45 and close the end at 2:20 or so it appears he mumbles it but come on! How does this not count? i'm not even sure he says little wing when he mumbles i'm hearing a yeah yeah yeah mmmm

✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 6 February 2015 14:25 (eleven years ago)

Or where else in the song do you think he says it? I submit my case with the video above for you all to listen.

✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 6 February 2015 14:27 (eleven years ago)

God that song is so majestic for being so short.

98. New Order - The Perfect Kiss

Millsner, Friday, 6 February 2015 14:32 (eleven years ago)

Noooh!

Mark G, Friday, 6 February 2015 14:36 (eleven years ago)

"The perfect kiss is the kiss of death"

and into the chorus one more time.

Mark G, Friday, 6 February 2015 14:37 (eleven years ago)

On Little Wing on Axis Bold As Love, Jimi sings 'fly on little wing' at 1:45, and then mumbles something like 'yeah yeah yeah little wing' at 2:15 during the outro

let me be your fan taytay (NickB), Friday, 6 February 2015 14:38 (eleven years ago)

But at 2:15 how are you certain it's 'little wing' what's hes mumbling seems to me like he's away from the mic when it happens. He could be saying 'need some weed' as far as we know. Or it could be just a wordless soul thing.

✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 6 February 2015 14:40 (eleven years ago)

He definitely sings something though, so I guess the previous 'little wing' isn't the last line of the song

I did start listening to the Sting version to see if that was different, but I just couldn't make it to the end ;_;

let me be your fan taytay (NickB), Friday, 6 February 2015 14:42 (eleven years ago)

Didn't even make a start on the Corrs one

let me be your fan taytay (NickB), Friday, 6 February 2015 14:42 (eleven years ago)

Then just take whatever version of the song you want, the mumbling is there on the studio version and was played by jimi live only 8 times and they don't have the mumbling going on. Stevie Ray's version?

✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 6 February 2015 14:43 (eleven years ago)

I think the Corrs version does say it several times but that's because the guitar guy can't solo like Jimi or Stevie and the girls can't keep their mouth shut.

✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 6 February 2015 14:45 (eleven years ago)

Also if we're being strict many of the songs mentioned so far could get disqualified. Fortunate son only says the title once at the end but there's a 'no' after it. (I ain't no fortunate son, no) but a yeah yeah yeah mmmumbling wont appear in any lyrics site or booklet.

✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 6 February 2015 14:48 (eleven years ago)

I thought of Children of the Grave but Ozzy shouts 'yeah!' for no reason after it
