The song has ended but the singer is still warbling on. Very irritating. Is it because the singer has sung himself into something of a trance and just wants to continue the pleasant experience with burbling repetitions of a few words or noises?
I am listening to a recording of John Peel’s Festive Fifty Show for 1978, where Van Morrison earned a place with Madam George. A fine song, right up until the end. But when the song has ended Morrison burbles on – “Goodbye Madam George, Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye Madam George”. Goodbye, Van – please. That recording came from Astral Weeks. I shall probably never buy that CD now on account of the self-indulgent and unnecessary two minutes after the end of the song.
Van Morrison self-indulgent? Is that even possible?
