I see "My World Fell Down" is one of the pick hits this week. Always thought it was such a strange song. The bridge didn't help me think otherwise also. But it was played a lot so I learned to like it.
Nowadays and MP3 download of the song has the bridge edited out. All those sheep noises and sound effects had to go, I guess.
"My World Fell Down" is one of my favorites. They had another one called "Another Time" that even KHJ played later. That one is in my top 5 of all time. Jonny Bruce
Since you like that song that much, and I do also, how do you explain all those sound effects and noise that make up the bridge in that song. What's the relationship to the rest of the song?
I thought My World Fell Down would be what The Mamas and Papas and the Beach Boys would have sounded like if they recorded a song together. Also the saound effects aren't as bad as the ones in Buckinghams "Susan"
Ok, I'll accept all those sounds effect in MWFD but why oh why are they there. What do they mean? How symbolic can they be. I know the sixties was king on hidden messages but I'm cluess on the bridge on MWFD.
OK, back to MWFD. I read the article Doug posted but really it didn't define the bridge other than being a "concrete bridge". Did I miss something in the article??
Glen Campbell was the lead on the song? Never made the connection. I'll have to listen again and see if there's a hint of that. By now we all know what Campbell sounds like, even from the early 60's stuff, ala "Too late to worry, too blue to cry".
Any comments? Hit me with the best explanation of the bridge. Haven't see it yet.
Ok I got a chance to listen to MWFD, 45 version, and it is NOT Glen campbell on lead vocal. Couldn't be. Not a smidgeon of resemblence. Why does the article say that??. That makes as much sense as the bridge on the record.
At this point, SUSAN by the Buckinghams (as someone mentioned earlier) and MWFD take the cake for most nonsensical bridges of all time. They don't make any sense on why they are there.
Can someone come up with something to top those 2?

OK reread the article and
ReplyDeletehit the MUSIQUE CONCRETE BRIDGE link
and somewhat explains the
bridge on MWFD.
Eclectic at best.
Still puzzled on why it's even
there.
