The Lovin' Spoonful's "Younger Girl"

An-other thing I noticed while listening to a compilation album of the Lovin' Spoonful last month is the ending of "Younger Girl."  The lyric at the end is the same as at the beginning:

She's one of those girls who seems to come in the spring
One look in her eyes and you forget ev'rything you had ready to say

Where the introduction completes this with "And I saw her today, yeah" and then continues with the rest of the song, the coda fades out part-way through the "One look in her eyes..." line.  Fading out during that line gives an impression of what the line itself describes: "forget[ting] ev'rything you had ready to say."  It's as if the song itself gets distracted by "one of those girls," forgets what it's doing, and just trails off.

The Lovin' Spoonful's "Did You Ever Have to Make up Your Mind?"

A couple weeks ago, I listened to a compilation album of the Lovin' Spoonful and noticed something about "Did You Ever Have to Make up Your Mind?" specifically these two sections:

Sometimes there's one with big blue eyes, cute as a bunny
With hair down to here and plenty of money
And just when you think she's that one in the world
Your heart gets stolen by some mousy little girl

Sometimes you really dig a girl the moment you kiss her
And then you get distracted by her older sister
When in walks her father and takes you in line
And says, "Better go home, son, and make up your mind"

For each line in these two sections - and within the last line of the second section - there's a different singer or combination of singers.  There's a constant musical shifting in the same way that "your heart gets stolen" or "you get distracted" by the allure of sundry girls.
