1. “positively 4th st.” by bob dylan has very biting commentary pointed at someone in particular. who is it? how do the lyrics fit in with his catalog of prior works? does this represent his moving on?
2. “california girls” by the beach boys is a quintessential vocal surf song. although the form is simple, how does brian wilson use the vocals to keep the listener engaged? does the instrumentation play a role?
3. “louie louie” by the kingsmen is often seen as the pinnacle of the garage band sound. how does such a simple song evoke the “call of the wild” when played? how is this sound influential to later generations?
