Annotationen

Im NME wird «I Can’t Explain» so beschrieben: Es sei ein hämmernder Shuffle-Shaker mit surfartigen Gegenharmonien hinter dem Haupttext. Es ist heimtückisch und beharrlich, mit einem fesselnden Schlingern – eine Art Mischung aus Mersey- und Surfbeat (NME 15/1). Der Haupterinfluss dürfte allerdings You Really Got Me von den Kinks gewesen sein, das knapp vier Monate vorher herauskam.

Lyrics

Got a feeling inside (Can't explain) It's a certain kind (Can't explain) I feel hot and cold (Can't explain) Yeah, down in my soul, yeah (Can't explain) I said (Can't explain) I'm feeling good now, yeah, but (Can't explain) Dizzy in the head and I'm feeling blue The things you've said, well, maybe they're true I'm gettin' funny dreams again and again I know what it means, but Can't explain I think it's love Try to say it to you When I feel blue But I can't explain (Can't explain) Yeah, hear what I'm saying, girl (Can't explain) Dizzy in the head and I'm feeling bad The things you've said have got me real mad I'm gettin' funny dreams again and again I know what it means but Can't explain I think it's love Try to say it to you When I feel blue But I can't explain (Can't explain) Forgive me one more time, now (Can't explain) I said I can't explain, yeah You drive me out of my mind Yeah, I'm the worrying kind, babe I said I can't explain
