Oh damn, I'm wrong you're right, it's "I will be there and everywhere/here, there, and everywhere" -- which totally counts. Carry on.

sad to discover than "Unforgiven Two" doesn't qualify, says it in the middle as well :(

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

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 (nine years ago) link

Maybe little wing gets repeated? i don't remember

And fortunate son

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

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 (nine years ago) link

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 (nine years ago) link

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 (nine years ago) link

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 (nine years ago) link

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 (nine years ago) link

God that song is so majestic for being so short.
