"Pre-chorus" or bridge?

Wondering aloud about the mp3 use of "pre-chorus". CoatCheck (talk) 02:41, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Those two sections meet the definition of pre-chorus in our article: "the pre-chorus functions to connect the verse to the chorus with intermediary material". As for the song's bridge, that's the section with the sax and guitar solos, even if it doesn't change the backing rhythm part much. Daniel Case (talk) 03:01, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

10-Q version

When FM was released I was running 10-Q an AM Top 40 station in Los Angeles. I wouldn’t play FM because it didn’t make sense. The label created a version that did not have FM in the lyrics, sent it to me on an 7” reel to reel tape, and that’s what 10-Q played. 136.58.88.191 (talk) 14:05, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's noted in the article. Someone spliced in the "A" from "Aja" where the F was, and for AM stations, problem solved (unless you were listening through static, then "no static at all" was a joke). Daniel Case (talk) 18:02, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
