There is a part in this song just as the first chorus of “Baaaaaaaaaby” is about to kick in when the harmonica (at least I think its a harmonica, it may as well be a weapon of mass heart destruction) swells so high and deep I feel a need to either
a. turn the song off
or
b. push the volume as high up as my eardrums can handle and then she purrs “you turn my head around” and to me, that moment is perfection.
This whole song is perfection.
I don’t really nerd out to music but I totally nerd out to the both sonic (that guitar going into a whisper from a roll around 2:05-come on!) and emotional oscillations in this.
Nobody did it better than Lee Hazlewood (Dean & Britta’s cover is sweet but far less heartbreaking) and Ann Margaret makes for a great lady to his cowboy.
“You turn my head around”
You bet you do.
i understand that maybe some people were rendered speechless, but seriously, no comments? to this song? of all the songs?
