"Those were the days when I was singing like Jerry Lewis" ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@nglknapp 8 Track!!! Now I KNOW you're telling the truth. My Dad had it on vinyl. I put it on cassette and the rest was history.

I always can listen to their songs over and over, but this explains why :) Joy! I sang the harmonies on this for my first shaky time at age 10, when Aja came out, and I would sneak into my brothers' room and pop in the 8-track. I was throwing my arms in the air celebrating near the end of this, when Becker turned up all the tracks to performance volume!

@tyleryesta1 agreed.

Anyone else feel the tempo drop at about 1:1? going into the chorus. Can't tell if it's just me or not.

I never get tired of this song. Perhaps it's the "faded hipster" persona. :)

EXACT sentiments- I can't add any more to what was said in the last 4 comments, except to say this recording is a ultimate state of a musician's bliss...
