"I Got My Mojo Working"
Yester-day I listened to all six of the Zombies albums (I'd planned to do this a few days in advance, but the day before I did it, I realized that I'd pickt an appropriate day because it was Rod Argent's birthday). While listening to Begin Here, I noticed a small thing about "I Got My Mojo Working." In the line "I got a whole lotta dreams here right under my eyes," "dreams" is sung with a melisma (B G Bb C Eb, I think). Because it's sung to a number of different pitches, there's a musical sense of that "whole lotta."
