There is a quick pause before the actual ending of the song, and goes up half an octave for the bridges and refrains of the tune. It was the second number-one hit song in the U.S. to have a false ending in it, following the Young Rascal's "Good Lovin." It was also the first time something like this happened between consecutive number one hits. John Phillipsbio.com Click "Next" to read more.
