Wake me Up Before you Go-go

Anyone have an accurate tab for this so I don't have to keep listening to it please?

- sorry, I can't help you, but that was very funny

It's actually a really good bass part, (played brilliantly by Dioon Estus), but I can't get that George Michael/Lady Di hair out of my mind's eye while trying to learn it.

Wham raps my favourite.

If you can read it, you can find the sheet music if you google it. There's no tabs online so I learnt it from the sheet music. It's a quality line as are most Wham basslines

I know what you mean, I'm by no means a fan of Abba, but some of the bass lines are excellent

They sure are. We used to play Dancing Queen in my old band.

Is it Club Tropicana with the fantastic slap line?

Young Guns?

Although the fantastic thing about Young Guns is the video, really.

Just watched a couple of the videos, great playing.

Iconic 80s stuff at the end of the first 2 choruses and in the middle section the bass almost talks..

Hey,

I've done a transcription to this tune in my bass blog earlier this year. I did a little lesson about "[b]The legendary Motown Groove"[/b], especially known from Diana Ross & The Supremes hit "[b]You Can't Hurry Love[/b]" which happened to have a big renaissance during the 80ies in songs like "[b]I'm so excited[/b]" (Pointer Sisters), "[b]Footloose[/b]" (Kenny Loggins) or "[b]Wake me up before you Go Go[/b]" (Wham) and more. The post is unfortunately written in german (I'll have to translate this one day, because it's a really interesting topic), but you can still use the transcription.Have a look:

Some good stuff on your site Tom. Particularly She Caught The Katy. I was struggling with the little "lick" at the end of each verse. Nailed it with YouTube vid. Thanks a lot.

think Soul Man transcribed it for Bassist UK back in the day
