MarnieReeves Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 I'm new here, and I hope that this question hasn't already been asked to death, but...what does Eric ad lib at the beginning of "Go All the Way"? Our local oldies station has a promo that sort of pokes fun at it; they announce the call letters, then say "the only station that proudly says 'Mah moo yeah'", and then plays the opening of GATW.

aggiesjc Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Hi, Marnie, and welcome. Where is your local oldies station? At least they're playing the song! Some of it, anyway. I'd love to hear that promo!Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougjack Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 I always thought it was "Mama, yeah, woo!", but I also thought CCR had a song about "A bathroom on the right". I'm still not totally convinced about that one..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Hi, Marnie! A hundred welcomes to you!!! You will love this board! Promise! Where are you from and what station is playing GATW and really giving it attention?! That's great! I always thought it was Mama, yeah wooo! also. It's a good question for the Ask Eric column! Have fun with us! --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 John Fogerty was on a recent episode of A&E "Live By Request", and he did "Bad Moon Rising." At that point of the song, he actually pointed to the right of the stage and sang "there's a bathroom on the right." The joke/misinterpreted lyrics hasn't been lost on the songwriter either.Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannoman Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Marnie I agree with you . I hear Mah Mo Yeah or Mom Oh Yeah (same thing). I am listening to it as I type.Eric used a lot of non-words on "Tonight" as well (said he couldn't find anything to rhyme).Welcome to the board, it's a great place to be.Ted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill C Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 It's Rock & Roll Jiberish! All great bands have used it. (See/hear Beginning of Rolling Stone Jumpin' Jack Flash). I invite others to include their favorite Jiberish. How about Oliver's Gliddy glip gloobby nibby knobby nuwby? "Brilliant"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuliaD Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 I'm pretty sure he's saying "Jul-ya YEAH!" isn't he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darlene Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 He's REALLY saying, "Marv, buy WD..." --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 I've already got it. Bought it as an import from Japan when it was first releassed. Sorry Eric, but since that day, I've been thinking of exporting it. Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 Marvin, That's okay. When you come out with your first cd, and it's a power-pop rap cd entitled, Reflections, Post-Reflections and Mo'-Reflections, we'll be sure to critique it for you. Since you're so quick to want to export WD, I think *ERIC* should be the first critic to write his review. --D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
