It’s useful to think of what the world would be like without certain songs, “I Want to Hold Your Hand”, “I Love Rock and Roll” or “Walk This Way”. “Come Go With Me” is one because, without it, there may not have been the Beach Boys. This is rock’s first harmony group that didn’t sing ballads. This song has simple premise (I love you; come with me) and even simpler instrumentation. And yet, the harmonies are rich and the joy obvious. Plus the name. Other songs have this title yet no one says that phrase in real life. Pretty important.
The "I Love You" link is very funny, and I thought I should tell you as no one else would get it. Thanks, man.
