I told my dad I had this stuck in my head, and he just looked at me and
casually said "oh, that's sweet".

Seriously, it's like, this normal love song, but in the background
there's a bunch of guys chanting nonesense words... very odd, but quite
beautiful... yet still... very odd.
>> But they just can't kill the beast
>
> <sigh>
You can check out any time you like, but you can NEVER leave.
Apparently.

Never heard it myself either... Kinda country song, apparently.
[Isn't it amazing how if you write "lyrics" followed by any tiny extract
of the words, Google instantly knows PRECISELY WHICH SONG YOU MEAN?!?]

If I meantioned that it was in the summer of sixty-nine you might stand
a chance...

Seriously. We've got all this country and folk music, and then THIS
comes on... WHAT???

Quality stuff... but you wouldn't want to play it too often.

LOL!
Who's Avril? Isn't that a brand of aspirin or something?

I prefer the Beach Boys' version. This one has much thinner harmonies
and less tuneful backing...

Who is it?
And why doesn't *my* electric guitar ever sound like this?

Erm, no... not really, no...

Apparently this "lulu" person is/was extremely attractive. Personally,
listening to that grinding voice, all I could think of was that evil
witch person from Tales from the Crypt.

Even *I* recognise that voice... [That's rare!]

The ones I can't even remembe were much less interesting. [Tautology?]

Gee, I guess that summer really DID seem to "last forever"... ;-)

Funny that, I've always thought of Switzerland as a rather enlightened country
that prohibited things like torture.

There we go again with not knowing people :) Although many may argue
it's a good thing you don't know who she is.

Oh c'mon. There are *far* too many performers, groups, bands, etc. to
know who they all are. ;-) At best a person will know the important ones
from a particular era. Unless they're super-nerdy...
PS. I think I was thinking of "Advil"...
