I disagree... I love hearing all the harmonies come in, and I think the =
repetition is everything in this song, everything good.  It makes it a =
balled.... An anthem, really... And it catches you up in the swell =
emotionally, passionately. I wouldn't want it sung, or written any other =
way.

<3 Tali=20

I've come to think of it, what IS this about really? I mean, why are =
they getting "too much sunshine"? What has the sunshine to do with the =
rest of the lyrics?

"Nothing changes but the colour changes hue"... could that be referring =
to the skin getting "too much sunshine" and becoming burnt?

The more I try to get into and understand the lyrics, the less I =
understand...

What is the essential about the song, musically, to me is the verses =
with that rocking riff.

By the way, the opening line=20
"Never had so much fun since my daddy took the V8 away"=20
is like taken off the Beach Boys'
"we had fun fun fun since my daddy took the T-bird away".
I think that's cool.
