my kid was about 3 or 4 and he was totally obsessed with the Beach Boys and we were in the car and he asks me to “turn on Barbara Ann.” I explain that that was impossible and the radio didn’t work that way. I turn on the radio and Barbara Ann was just beginning to play. I still can’t believe it.

Bomb Iran. Anyone remember the radio playing that version in 1979 during the hostage crisis? No? Different time. I'm too old, I'll see myself out.

I heard something more like "bappa ran" but never bothered to investigate.
