Except that instead of emo horseshit, I'm talking about the sublime fuckup two minutes into The Kingsmen's version of "Louie Louie", when, after the guitar solo, the vocalist comes in too soon, singing, "Me see
—", stops, pauses, and
then sings the whole line ("Me see Jamaica, the moon above")... and they left it just like that! For all posterity! The sons of bitches! OK, they did add a drum fill right after the screwup, dunno whether the drummer was that quick on the draw but I suppose he was, because if they could edit it in later, why not get rid of the vocal mistake or just record a new take THE POINT IS THE SINGER FUCKED UP AND YET FOR WHATEVER REASON THEY MADE SHIT WORK AND FOR FIFTY-SEVEN YEARS IT'S BEEN ARGUABLY THE GREATEST MOMENT IN ROCK AND ROLL HISTORY. Now
that's art - low, high, and in between...
