"In my hands I've held the gun"

lyric is really bad. Otherwise, I like the song. I don't mind the Halle, halle lyric despite the much better song it was inspired by.

I agree with you on Bullet, but the "sha la las" in WWWB are an integral part of the song. From a melodic standpoint I think they fit well, and from a thematic standpoint they play into the lost innoncece that that song's about.

They were doing the same thing in the jersey era with the "na na na's". Except on that album, only one of the songs made the album....

They've been a band that uses na's, sha's, la's and do's since day 1. How can it be forced now but natural then?

The shalas in WWB sound stupid to me, but I also didn't like 'em in Midnight in Chelsea. It probably doesn't help that the melody in both instances was rather weak as well.

It's not a no-go, but it's not instantly awesome either. The nanananananas in Lucky also sucked, the ones in Born To Be My Baby ruled, so it's mostly in the delivery.

Most of their na-nas and sha la las don't bother me. I like it most cases. But as Alpha mentioned above, the na na na's in Lucky are hands down, the worst.

The na-naa's in Lucky are good and fit the song. Should have been on bounce.
