"WISH FULFILLMENT" by Sonic Youth

Like 99.9% of all Sonic Youth songs, "Wish Fulfillment" is played in
an unusual tuning. Since it's a pain to tune your guitar everytime
you wanna play a Sonic Youth song, I figured I would come up with a
version of this song in standard tuning. I used the song "Little
Jammy Thing" (it's an instrumental version off the album 'Sonic Life')
as well as the album version to help with this tab. It's not going to
sound exactly like the original, but I think it sounds pretty good.

	i agree with "Ihaveanopinion" cool song ;)

No Picture Matt Lead Player	#2 by Matt Cromwell at Jul 2, 1974 at 5:23 PM EST
	yeah, I think this song has a little of what everyone has commented on. I definitely feel that the song is being sung from someone who is obsessed with a stranger, possibly famous. I think the song has 2 parts. the first part establishing the obsession, and the 2nd one taking the obsession further, as the "star" takes a fall. "Shake it baby! C'mon, scream! Did I see your face in a magazine?" Makes me think that maybe a actress has has possibly posed for pornography in the past, or was a dancer/prostitute, or has become one as their career fails. And this fact has been made attention to the media, and becomes a scandal. But the obsessor doesn't care. "I'm still on your side in spite of everything you do"

	I agree with most said. I can relate to it at the mo, it such a great riff too.

	Its leave me sore btw.

No Picture Berenice Average	#5 by Berenice Issaris at Mar 23, 1981 at 9:01 PM EST
	its a really beautiful song, to me it seems to be about a wannabe star who he sincerely cares for and knows that past the empty desires she has there is something she cannot see in herself that he can see. he believes in her true nature. i really like the last line, and how the song seems to say that it's ok to wish anyway.

No Picture silent Rhythm Player	#6 by silent support at Jan 7, 1984 at 12:40 PM EST
	I think it is a new version of Pictures of Lily by The Who. Pictures of Lily is about a guy who falls in love with some pictures of a girl that he does not know. I think this can be the same here.

No Picture James Average	#7 by James Davison at Oct 12, 2003 at 6:57 PM EST
	I had the same first impression stanley888 did, but it seems too impersonal to be about a prostitute. Exotic dancer, j--- shack girl or nude model perhaps. There really seems to be a strong feeling of inappropriate obsession with somebody looked down upon by common society, and who is in a much different, and lower, walk of life.
