Rip Read & Rock (Westwood One)

311 Bah-da-da-da-dadiya!

Sometimes the best words for a song aren’t words at all. 311 singer Nick Hexum says that one of his favorite moments in their new single “Sunset In July” is a point where he uses “Bah-da-da-da-dadiya” to follow up the lyrics in the main chorus. Bassist P-Nut says he initially asked if that was a placeholder for a phrase that would eventually end the chorus, but Hexum was sold on the scat to finish things out. P-Nut says, “It’s great. That’s what it feels like. You don’t have to put words on something all the time and there’s a lot of feelings that you can lose in words, and that ‘Bah-da-da-da-dadiya’ says volumes.” “Sunset In July” features on the band’s new album, “Universal Pulse.” (see CLIPS)
