Notes
-
- A cover of the Everly Brothers' 1958 hit, and even more achingly
- beautiful than their version. Brian's and Mike's voices blend
- flawlessly.
- In the background chatter, Brian and Mike also mention "fooling with"
- the Everly Brothers' "Wake Up Little Susie," and someone (Carl?) says
- "Bird Dog" is the best Everly Brothers song. Mike clearly respects
- the Everly Brothers' singing, because he objects to "fooling with"
- this song and says they should "do it right." Which they do.
- Lyrics
-
Darlin', you can count on me
Til the sun dries up the sea
([...])
Until then, I'll always be
Devoted to you
I'll be yours through endless time
I'll adore your charms sublime
Guess by now you know that I'm
Devoted to you
I'll never hurt you, I'll never lie
I'll never be untrue
I'll never give you reason to cry
I'd be unhappy if you were blue
Through the years, my love will grow
Like a river, it will flow
It can't die because I'm so
Devoted to you
I'll never hurt you, I'll never lie
I'll never be untrue
I'll never give you reason to cry
I'd be unhappy if you were blue
Through the years, my love will grow
Like a river, it will flow
It can't die because I'm so
Devoted to you
Ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba bom
(That was beautiful.)
(Great.)
(Yay!)
(*Clapping*)
(That was great.)
(Hey, Brian, I [...])
