The Beach Boys did the same, for years. It's a Pop Music quality, and
doesn't work as well here mainly because whoever wrote/arranged "Days Of
Light" (RD & Gerard McMahon, I guess) do not have the songwriting/vocal
arranging talents of Brian Wilson or the voices of The Beach Boys to work
with.

Out-of-Date? Is the "ba-ba-ba" part in "Face Dances, Part 2" or the
"bow-bow-bow" part in "Early Morning Dreams" out-of date? Does the
"'Doo-doo-doo' crap" ruin "You Can't Call it Love" (RITH also)? I think not.

(Check out "At My Most Beautiful" from REM's Up for another "dated" Beach
Boys influence.)
